Agriculture Crop Pesticide Testing

Agriculture Crop Pesticide Testing

With the growth of organic food and concern for safe food, pesticide residues are a consideration in food ingredients and agricultural products. The United States Environmental Protection Agency US EPA contains a link to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the Part 180 database that contains tolerances of pesticides in food and feed commodities in the United States.

The pesticide tolerances are the maximum residue limits for a food or feed commodity. A commodity is defined by the US EPA as any unprocessed or partially processed good, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. Pesticides are often categorized based on the type of pest they control.
