Dear Reader:

I am pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 21st Annual Summary for calendar year 2011. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture implemented the PDP in 1991 to test food commodities for pesticide 

residues. The data produced by the PDP are used to estimate consumer dietary exposure to pesticides and 

the relationship of those exposures to science-based standards of safety. This report shows that overall 

pesticide residues found on foods tested are at levels below the tolerances (maximum legal residue levels) 

set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Using a rigorous statistical approach to sampling along with the most current laboratory methods, the PDP 

tests a wide variety of domestic and imported foods. Foods tested include fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables, soybeans, eggs, dairy products, and water. 

The 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to collect pesticide 

residue data on foods that are highly consumed, particularly by infants and children. The FQPA also 

established a strict health-based standard for a “reasonable certainty of no harm” for pesticide residues in 

food to ensure consumer protection from unacceptable pesticide exposure. The EPA uses the PDP data as a 

critical component for dietary assessments of pesticide exposure, a critical step to verify that all sources of 

exposure to pesticides meet the safety standards set by the 1996 FQPA.

The PDP is not designed for enforcement of EPA tolerances. However, we inform the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration if residues detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. In

2011, residues exceeding the tolerance were detected in 0.27 percent (32 samples) of the total samples tested 

(11,894 samples). Residues with no established tolerance were found in 3.4 percent (399 samples) of the 

total samples tested. The data reported by PDP corroborate that residues found in fruit and vegetables are at 

levels that do not pose risk to consumers’ health (i.e., are safe according to EPA).

The PDP works with cooperating State agencies that are responsible for sample collection and analysis. 

Thirteen states participated in the program during 2011: California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. 

These States represent all regions of the country and more than half of the U.S. population.

Executive Summary

In 1991, the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

was charged with designing and implementing the 

Pesticide Data Program (PDP) to collect data on 

pesticide residues in food. PDP provides highquality data on residues in food, particularly foods 

most likely consumed by infants and children. This 

21st Pesticide Data Program Summary presents 

results for samples collected in 2011.

This information is provided to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Before 

a company can sell or distribute any pesticide in 

the United States of America, EPA must review 

studies on the pesticide to determine that it will 

not pose unreasonable risks to human health 

or the environment. Once EPA has made that 

determination, it will license or register that pesticide 

for use in strict accordance with label directions. 

Before allowing a pesticide to be used on a food 

commodity, EPA sets limits on how much of a 

pesticide may be used on food during growing 

and processing, and how much can remain on 

the food that reaches the consumer. Government 

inspectors monitor food in interstate commerce to 

ensure that these limits are not exceeded. EPA also 

sets standards to protect workers from exposure to 

pesticides on the job. 

AMS, through its Monitoring Programs Division 

(MPD), is responsible for the administration, 

planning and coordination of day-to-day PDP 

operations. MPD meets regularly with EPA and 

other government agencies to establish program 

priorities and direction. Sampling and/or testing 

program operations are carried out with the 

support of 13 States: California, Colorado, Florida, 

Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New 

York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Washington, 

and Wisconsin. These States have a prominent role 

in program planning and policy setting, particularly 

policies relating to quality assurance. In addition 

to State laboratories, testing was conducted by 

USDA’s AMS National Science Laboratory and 

USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 

Administration Laboratory. 

Drinking water sampling from public utilities 

was conducted by utility personnel while 

homeowners sampled their own well (ground) 

water. In 2011, a groundwater survey of schools 

and childcare facilities was performed in which 

school and childcare facility personnel sampled 

the well water serving the facility. 

PDP commodity sampling is based on a rigorous 

statistical design that ensures the data are reliable 

for use in exposure assessments and can be used 

to draw various conclusions about the Nation’s 

food supply. The pesticides and commodities 

to be included each year in the sampling are 

selected based on EPA data needs and take 

into account the types and amounts of food 

consumed by infants and children. The number 

of samples collected by the States is apportioned 

according to that State’s population. Samples 

are randomly chosen close to the time and point 

of consumption (i.e., distribution centers rather 

than at farm gate) and refl ect what is typically 

available to the consumer throughout the year. 

Samples are selected without regard to country of 

origin, variety, or organic labeling. The monthly 

sampling rate is 62 samples per commodity, 

except for highly seasonal commodities. For 

seasonal commodities, sampling rates are 

adjusted to refl ect market availability. 

Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables 

accounted for 82.3 percent of the total samples 

collected in 2011. Other samples collected 

included water samples, 6.6 percent; milk, 5.8 

percent; eggs, 2.9 percent; and soybeans, 2.4 

percent. Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables 

tested during 2011 were: baby food (green beans, 

pears, sweet potatoes), canned beets, cabbage, 

cantaloupe, caulifl ower, cherry tomatoes, hot 

peppers, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, orange 

juice, papayas, plums, snap peas, canned and 

frozen spinach, sweet bell peppers, tangerines 

and winter squash. Approximately 72.7 percent 

of samples were from U.S. sources, 22.8 percent 

were imports, 3.8 percent were of mixed origin 

and 0.7 percent were of unknown origin.

Because PDP data are mainly used for risk 

assessments, PDP laboratory methods are geared 

to detect the smallest possible levels of pesticide 

residues, even when those levels are well below the 

tolerances established by EPA. Prior to testing, PDP 

analysts washed samples for 15-20 seconds with 

gently running cold water as a consumer would do; 

no chemicals, soap or any special wash was used. 

Results for more than 2 million analyses were 

reported by the laboratories in 2011 too numerous 

to be included in their entirety in this summary. The 

PDP database fi le for 2011 and annual summaries/

database fi les for previous years are available on 

the PDP Web site at http://www.ams.usda.gov/pdp 

or by contacting MPD.

PDP is a voluntary program and is not designed for 

enforcement of tolerances. However, PDP informs 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration if residues 

detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA 

tolerance established. In 2011, excluding water, 

residues exceeding the tolerance were detected 

in 0.27 percent (32 samples) of the total samples 

tested (11,894 samples). Of these 32 samples, 25 

were imported (78 percent) and 7 were domestic (22 

percent). Residues with no established tolerance 

were found in 3.4 percent (399 samples) of the 

total samples tested. Of these 399 samples, 280 

were imported (70 percent), 115 were domestic (29 

percent), and 4 were of unknown origin (1 percent). 

Appendices B through G provide a distribution of 

residues by pesticide for the commodities tested. 

PDP laboratories also test foods for low levels of 

environmental contaminants that are no longer used 

in the United States, but due to their persistence in 

the environment, particularly in soil, can be taken up 

by plants. Results for environmental contaminants 

in all commodities are listed in Appendix H. More 

information on results is provided in the Sample 

Results and Discussion section of the summary.

In 2011, 239 (treated and untreated) drinking water 

samples were collected at water treatment facilities 

in 3 States and a total of 604 groundwater samples 

were collected from private domestic wells and 

school/childcare facilities. Low levels of detectable 

residues, measured in parts per trillion, were 

detected in both drinking water and groundwater. 

The majority of pesticides, metabolites, and 

isomers included in the PDP testing profi les were 

not detected. During 2011, no detections, in either 

treated or untreated water, exceeded established 

Maximum Contaminant Levels, Health Advisories, 

Human Health Benchmarks for Pesticides, or 

Freshwater Aquatic Organism criteria. Additional 

information is provided in the Sample Results and 

Discussion section of this Annual Summary. 

PDP continually strives to improve methods for 

collection, testing, and reporting data. These data 

are freely available to EPA and other Federal 

and State agencies charged with regulating and 

setting policies on the use of pesticides and to all 

stakeholders by hard copy, Internet, or custom 

reports generated by MPD. Additional copies of 

the PDP Annual Summary may be obtained by

Pesticide Data Program (PDP)

Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

This summary consists of the following sections: (I.) Introduction, (II.) Sampling Operations, 

(III.) Laboratory Operations, (IV.) Database Management, and (V.) Sample Results and Discussion

I. Introduction

The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) was initiated in 

1991 to collect data on pesticide residues in food and 

now has an important role in the implementation of 

the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 

collect pesticide residue data on commodities most 

frequently consumed by infants and children. PDP 

data are used primarily by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) to assess dietary exposure 

during the review of the safety of existing pesticide 

tolerances (Maximum Residue Limits). PDP data are 

also used by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) to assist in planning commodity surveys for 

pesticide residues from an enforcement/regulatory 

perspective.

Because PDP collects data on food commodities 

primarily for exposure assessment, program 

operations differ markedly from those followed 

by regulatory monitoring programs for tolerance 

enforcement. PDP samples are collected closer to 

the point of consumption and are prepared emulating 

consumer practices. Sampling is based on EPA data 

needs and does not impede commodity distribution. 

Laboratory operations are designed to achieve the 

lowest detectable levels rather than quick sample 

turnaround. As a dietary risk assessment support 

program, PDP tests for registered uses for the 

commodities in the program, as well as for pesticides 

that may not have U.S. tolerances but are used in 

other countries on commodities exported to the U.S.

Figure 1(a) illustrates contributors to PDP program 

policy development and planning operations. 

Primary contributors to these activities include 

the participating States, EPA, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS), and additional stakeholders including industry and grower groups. 

Figure 1(b) depicts PDP primary data users including 

EPA, FDA, USDA’s Economic Research Service 

(ERS) and Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), 

participating States, academic institutions, chemical 

manufacturers, environmental interest groups, 

food safety organizations, and groups within the 

private sector representing food producers. Other 

Federal, State, and foreign government agencies 

and industry have used PDP data to promote 

the export of U.S. commodities to international 

markets. Additionally, the Codex Alimentarius 

Committee on Pesticides Residues recognizes PDP 

methodologies as offi cial and validated methods 

for the determination of pesticide residues in foods.

In 2011, sampling services were provided by 11 

States (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, 

Washington, and Wisconsin). Sampling services 

for drinking water were provided by participating 

facility personnel at fi ve individual sites in three 

States. A voluntary groundwater survey was 

continued in 2011 with homeowners at 232 sites 

in 15 States and at 372 school/childcare facilities 

in 23 States.

Laboratory services were provided by the States 

of California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, 

Minnesota, Montana, New York, Ohio, Texas, 

and Washington; the Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) National Science Laboratory 

(NSL); and, the Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) Laboratory. 

The AMS Monitoring Programs Division (MPD) is 

responsible for overall management of PDP.

Figure 2 shows the States that participate in 

program sampling and/or testing. Together, these 

States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s 

population and all 4 census regions of the U.S. They 

also represent major U.S. producers of fruit and 

vegetables. AMS works closely with EPA to select 

commodities and pesticides for testing and in the 

selection of drinking water and groundwater sites. 

The selected commodities represent the highest 

U.S. consumption, with an emphasis on foods 

consumed by infants and children. Commodities 

are cycled through the program approximately 

every fi ve years. High consumption fresh fruit and

vegetable commodities remain in the program for 2 

years to capture two full growing seasons, thereby 

capturing any changes due to seasonality or yearto-year variations. Processed products, dairy, meat, 

fi sh and grains are tested for 1 full year. Appendix 

A provides a list of commodities tested by PDP 

from the beginning of the program in 1991 through 

2012.

Fruit and vegetable samples are collected at 

terminal markets and large chain store distribution 

centers from which food commodities are supplied 

to supermarkets and grocery stores. Sampling at 

these locations allows for residue measurements that 

include pesticides applied during crop production 

and those applied after harvest (such as fungicides, 

growth regulators, and sprouting inhibitors) and 

takes into account residue degradation while food 

commodities are in storage. Participation as a 

PDP sampling site is voluntary, which sets it apart 

from State and Federal enforcement programs. In 

2011, approximately 600 sites granted access and 

provided information, including site volume data, 

to sample collectors. Voluntary cooperation is 

important to PDP and makes it possible to adjust 

sampling protocols in response to fl uctuations in 

food distribution and production.

Treated and untreated drinking water samples are 

collected onsite by trained personnel at selected 

water treatment facilities across the country. 

Groundwater samples are collected from private 

Figure 2. Program Participants. During 2011, AMS established cooperative agreements with 13 States to sample and/or 

test PDP commodities. Together, these States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s population and all 4 census regions 

of the U.S. They also represent major U.S. producers of fruit and vegetables. State laboratories are responsible for analyzing 

fresh and processed fruit and vegetable samples and drinking water samples. The Federal AMS laboratory in Gastonia, 

NC, analyzes meat, poultry, honey, and dairy products, and the Federal laboratory in Kansas City, MO, analyzes whole and 

processed grain products.

potable wells by homeowners and State/School/

Tribal and regional professional association 

offi cials. Sites are selected based on geographic 

locale and proximity to agricultural areas.

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with 

current registered uses and compounds for which 

toxicity data and preliminary estimates of dietary 

exposure indicate the need for more extensive 

residue data. PDP also monitors pesticides for 

which EPA has modifi ed use directions (i.e., 

reduced application rates or frequency) as part of 

risk management activities. In addition, PDP has 

begun testing for selected pesticides that may not 

have U.S. tolerances, but are used in other countries 

that export commodities to the U.S. The following 

appendices list the specifi c pesticides tested in 

the program: fruit and vegetables (Appendix B), 

soybeans (Appendix C), eggs (Appendix D), milk 

(Appendix E), potable groundwater (Appendix 

F), and municipal drinking water (Appendix G). 

Environmental contaminants are consolidated into 

Appendix H, which summarizes fi ndings for these 

chemicals across all commodities.

II. Sampling Operations

♦ Background

The goal of the PDP sampling program is to obtain 

a statistically defensible representation of the U.S. 

food supply. PDP data refl ect actual pesticide residue 

exposure from food. Using a rigorous statistical 

design, PDP has developed extensive procedures 

that ensure samples are randomly selected from the 

national food distribution system and refl ect what is 

typically available to the consumer.

In 2011, fruit, vegetables, eggs, and milk were 

randomly collected by trained State inspectors at 

terminal markets and large chain store distribution 

centers throughout the country. Surrogate or “proxy” 

sites (retail markets) are occasionally used to collect 

these samples when the commodity of interest is 

unavailable at a terminal market or distribution 

center. In these instances, the commodity is 

selected in the rear storage area of the retail facility 

so possible contamination by the consumer is 

eliminated and allows capture of sample information 

from product boxes. In 2011, 33.7 percent of fruit, 

vegetable, egg, and milk samples were collected at 

proxy sites. The commodities most often collected 

at these facilities were baby foods (green beans, 

pears, and sweet potatoes), canned beets, canned/

frozen spinach, eggs, milk, and orange juice. 

Soybean samples were collected from trains, 

trucks and barges by trained USDA Federal Grain 

Inspection Service (FGIS) inspectors. Treated and 

untreated drinking water samples were collected 

onsite by trained personnel at selected water 

treatment facilities across the country. Potable 

groundwater samples were collected from private 

domestic wells by homeowners, State/Tribal, and 

school/childcare facility personnel. Participation 

in the groundwater survey is voluntary, with site 

selections based on agricultural chemical usage in 

the watershed and geographic location. 

At all sampling locations, information is usually 

available about the identity and origin of the 

sample. Sample information is captured at the time 

of collection for inclusion in the PDP database. 

PDP sample origin data identify the State or 

country where the commodity was produced. A 

comparison of PDP sample origin data to State 

production and import data by USDA’s NASS 

shows PDP sampling is representative of the 

U.S. food supply. PDP sampling operations are 

adjusted according to product availability. The 

number of fruit, vegetable, egg, and milk samples 

collected in each participating State is determined 

by State population. The number and location of 

collected grain samples are determined by annual 

domestic production fi gures. The number and 

location of groundwater samples are determined 

based on geographic region, location in an 

agricultural area, and the willingness of the well 

owners to participate in the program. The quarterly 

collection schedule for all 2011 commodities is 

shown in Table 1. 

The number and location of drinking water samples 

from water treatment facilities are determined by 

EPA pesticide registration information needs. Each 

local watershed has its own unique characteristics; 

therefore, sample collection for this commodity is 

not intended to refl ect national trends; rather, PDP 

collects samples in areas where it is known that 

targeted pesticides are used.

PDP State sample collectors are trained to adhere 

to detailed program Standard Operating Procedures 

(SOPs) that provide criteria for site selection and 

specifi c instructions for sample selection, shipping 

and handling, and chain-of-custody. SOPs are 

updated as needed and serve as a technical reference 

in conducting program sampling reviews to ensure 

program goals and objectives are met. SOPs for 

PDP sampling are available on the Internet at 

www.ams.usda.gov/pdp. On a quarterly basis, 

sample collectors are provided with commodity 

Fact Sheets and Quick Reference Guides that 

list specifi c collection details for individual 

commodities that have been added to the program.

Temperature-sensitive samples are packed in 

heavy-duty, temperature-controlled containers. 

Holding temperatures are preserved throughout 

transit time with the inclusion of ample frozen 

cold packs and insulating materials.

Table 1. PDP Commodity Collection Schedule for 2011. Samples are most often collected for a 

2-year time period. Commodities are initiated or terminated in different quarters of the year, so that 

new commodities are not brought into the program all at the same time. This table illustrates time 

ranges for the listed commodities. See Appendix A for the complete PDP commodity history (May 

1991 through December 2012).

Non-temperature-sensitive samples do not 

require temperature-controlled containers; 

however, they are shipped in heavy-duty, wellcushioned containers. To preserve sample 

integrity, most samples are shipped the same 

day as collection by overnight delivery. Nonrefrigerated processed commodities [canned 

beets, baby foods (green beans, pears, sweet 

potatoes), and canned spinach] are often shipped 

by ground transportation to reduce shipping 

costs. Grain samples are collected in pesticidefree polyethylene bags and are shipped in canvas 

pouches or boxes to the laboratory where the 

samples are refrigerated pending analysis. 

Groundwater samples and raw intake and treated 

drinking water samples are collected in specially 

prepared bottles containing dechlorinating 

agents to halt potential compound degradation, 

packed with proper cushioning and cold packs, 

and shipped the same day as collection to their 

respective laboratory by overnight delivery. 

Electronic Sample Information Forms (e-SIFs) 

are used for chain-of-custody and to capture 

information needed to characterize the 

sample. Sample collectors use handheld or 

laptop computers in the fi eld to record sample 

identifi cation information such as: (1) State 

of sample collection, (2) collection date, (3) 

sampling site code, (4) commodity code, and 

(5) testing laboratory code. Information from 

these fi ve data elements is combined to form 

a unique PDP identifi cation number for each 

sample. Other available information about each 

sample is also recorded, such as collector name; 

the State or country of origin; product variety; 

production claims such as organic, postharvest 

chemical applications; and grower, packer, 

and/or distributor locations. The e-SIFs are 

electronically mailed the same day as sample 

collection or, at the latest, by the next morning 

after collection to ensure that sample information 

is received at each laboratory by the time samples 

arrive for analysis. Refer to Section IV on 

Database Management for more information on 

the e-SIF system. 

Participating State agencies compile and maintain 

lists of sampling sites. In 2011, approximately 

600 sites granted access and provided information, 

including site volume data, to sample collectors. 

The States, in turn, provide AMS and NASS 

with annual volume information for commodities 

distributed at each site. This information is used 

to weight the site to determine the probability for 

sample selection. For example, a weight of 10 

may be given to a site that distributes 100,000 

pounds of produce annually and a weight of 1 is 

given to a site that distributes 10,000 pounds. The 

probability-proportionate-to-size method of site 

selection then results in the larger site being 10 

times more likely to be selected for sampling than 

the smaller site. 

Participating States work with NASS to develop 

statistical procedures for site weighting and 

selection. States are also given the option to have 

NASS perform their quarterly site selection. The 

number of sampling sites and the volume of produce 

distributed by the sites vary greatly among States. 

Sampling plans that include sampling dates, sites 

(primary and alternate), targeted commodities, and 

testing laboratories are prepared by each State on 

a quarterly basis. Collection of commodities is 

randomly assigned to weeks of the month, prior to 

selection of specifi c sampling dates within a week. 

Because sampling sites are selected for an entire 

quarter, States may assign the sites to particular 

months based on geographic location.

State population fi gures are used to assign the 

number of fruit, vegetable, and other specialty 

samples scheduled for collection each month. 

These population- and distribution-network-based 

numbers result in the following monthly collection 

assignments for each State: California, 13; 

Colorado, 2; Florida, 7; Maryland, 4; Michigan, 

6; New York, 9; Ohio, 6; Texas, 9; Washington, 

4; and Wisconsin, 2. The schedule results in a 

monthly target of 62 samples per commodity, or 

744 samples per commodity per year. Additionally, 

North Carolina collected four samples per month 

for selected commodities (canned beets, baby 

foods [green beans, pears, sweet potatoes], orange 

juice, canned/frozen spinach, and papayas).

The total number of samples collected in each State 

for each commodity is listed in Table 2. Figure 2 

illustrates the participating collection States and 

the laboratories to which samples were shipped.

The total number of samples per commodity and 

the percentage of each that were either domestic, 

imported, or of unknown origin are shown in 

Figure 3. The origin of some fresh commodities 

can vary greatly throughout the year. Graphic 

examples of this variation can be found in Figure 

4 where differences in origin (domestic vs. import) 

are depicted by month for cantaloupe, sweet bell 

peppers, and tangerines. Fresh and processed fruit 

and vegetable, egg, and milk samples originated 

from 39 States and 18 foreign countries (refer to 

Appendix I). Soybean, groundwater, and drinking 

water samples are excluded from Appendix I 

because they rely on differential sampling frames. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2011, 

82.3 percent (10,480 of 12,737) were fruit 

and vegetables, including fresh and processed 

products. The fresh commodities collected for 

PDP were cabbage, cantaloupe, caulifl ower, 

cherry/grape tomatoes, hot peppers, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, papayas, plums, snap peas, sweet 

bell peppers, tangerines, and winter squash. The 

processed commodities included baby food (green 

beans, pears, sweet potatoes), canned beets, 

orange juice (ready-to-serve and concentrate), and 

spinach (canned and frozen). All fresh fruit and 

vegetable samples weighed either 3 or 5 pounds 

with the exception of hot pepper and snap pea 

samples that weighed 1 pound and cherry/grape 

tomato samples that were 1 dry U.S. pint (~0.6 

pound). Three pounds were collected for smaller, 

low-weight commodities such as mushrooms and 

tangerines and 5 pounds were collected for larger, 

high-weight commodities such as cabbage and 

winter squash. For processed samples, canned beet 

samples weighed 28 ounces; orange juice samples 

were 1 quart or 32 ounces, canned spinach samples 

were 28 ounces, and frozen spinach samples were 

3 pounds.

♦ Baby Food

In 2011, PDP continued testing of three types of 

baby food – green beans, pears, and sweet potatoes. 

Acceptable samples included pureed Stage 1 

(First Food) or Stage 2 (Second Food); domestic 

or imported; organic or conventional products. 

Either glass or plastic containers were acceptable. 

The minimum weight was 16 ounces, generally 

necessitating the collection of multiple containers 

within the same lot for a given sample. For baby 

food green beans, 584 samples were collected and 

analyzed while 585 samples each of baby food pears 

and sweet potatoes were collected and tested.

♦ Soybeans 

USDA FGIS inspectors collected 300 soybean 

samples for the 2010 crop year (September 2010 

through April 2011). The actual sample collection 

period was divided into two collection phases: 

September 2010 through January 2011 (275 samples) 

and February 2011 through April 2011 (25 samples). 

Sample collection rates, on a statewide basis, were 

calculated on the basis of crop production totals 

averaged over a 3-year period. Samples were drawn 

from trucks (16 percent of samples), hopper cars (60 

percent of samples), and barges/ships (24 percent of 

samples). Soybeans slated for export were excluded 

from the sampling scheme. PDP chain-of-custody 

procedures are similar to those used for fruit and 

vegetable samples. Sample information for soybeans 

included: inspection location, inspection point code, 

fi eld offi ce location, offi cial agency collecting 

the sample, carrier identifi cation (truck, barge, or 

railcar), State of origin, collection date, quantity of 

lot sampled, and inspector’s name. Pesticide residue 

analysis was performed by the GIPSA Technical 

Services Division Laboratory located in Kansas 

City, Missouri. Soybean samples originated from 20 

States and were collected through 5 regional GIPSA 

offi ces. There were no imported soybean samples; 

all were of domestic origin. The origin and number 

of samples collected from each State is displayed in 

Figure 5; sample results may be found in Appendix 

C. 

♦ Eggs

In 2011, PDP collected and analyzed 371 egg 

samples. Samples were collected from routine PDP 

sampling sites, which included major distribution 

centers and terminal markets. A minimum of 12 eggs 

were collected for each of the samples. Analysis was 

performed by the USDA NSL in Gastonia, North 

Carolina. Results for eggs are shown in Appendix 

D.

♦ Milk

In 2011, 743 whole milk samples were collected in 

10 participating States, primarily from distribution 

centers or supermarkets that received milk from 

27 different States. Twenty-eight percent of milk 

samples were collected at retail distribution centers 

and 72 percent of the samples were collected at 

proxy sites (supermarkets or retail stores that receive 

product directly from their distribution centers). 

Selection of proxy sites for milk sample collection 

is based on a store’s close geographic proximity to 

its milk distribution center. All whole milk samples 

were of domestic origin. Sample collection States 

are found in Table 2 and distribution by State of 

origin is found in Appendix I. Shipment and chainof-custody procedures were the same as for fruit 

and vegetable samples. Pesticide residue analysis 

for all samples was performed by the New York 

laboratory. Results are shown in Appendix E.

♦ Drinking Water

Potable Groundwater

Approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population 

obtains its domestic water from private wells. 

Many of these wells are located in agricultural 

areas and may be susceptible to pesticide 

contamination, making it necessary to monitor 

these shallow groundwater wells to determine 

potential exposure to pesticides through water 

consumption for this segment of the population.

Some pesticides bind tightly to soils and therefore 

are unlikely to be found in groundwater; others, 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

13

such as water-soluble pesticides, can move 

through soil to reach the water table. Movement of 

pesticides in soils and rock is much slower than in 

surface water – for example, pesticide movement 

in soils and rock is measured in centimeters per 

year while movement in surface water is measured 

in meters per year. Because of these differences in 

mobility, pesticide concentrations in groundwater 

are much less variable and samples do not need 

to be taken as frequently. Consequently, for these 

groundwater studies, a single annual sample was 

taken rather than the bimonthly samples taken for 

surface water.

A total of 604 samples were collected and tested 

for the 2011 groundwater program. These included 

232 private residence wells in 15 States (Alaska, 

California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, 

New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, 

Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and 

Virginia) and 372 school/childcare facilities 

in 23 States (Alaska, Arizona, California, 

Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, 

Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, 

New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, 

Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and 

Wyoming). As a part of this groundwater survey, 

PDP was able to collaborate with several Native 

American Tribal Nations and obtained 58 samples 

from school wells and 30 samples from private 

residences on reservation lands held by these tribes. 

For private residences, samples were collected at 

the kitchen faucet after a signifi cant volume of 

water had been used (i.e., after morning showers) 

to ensure that water from the pressure tank or 

any storage tanks was depleted and that the water 

sampled was from the well and not stagnant. It 

is assumed that most households do not spray 

household pesticides around the kitchen faucet; 

therefore, the chance of contamination is minimal. 

Figure 6 shows the distribution of groundwater 

collection sites for the 2011 PDP testing program.

Schools and childcare facilities are often located 

on or outside of town perimeters due to lower 

land costs. Bringing utilities to these remote 

locations can be expensive; therefore, onsite wells 

are often used for water supplies. As children 

are most susceptible to pesticides during their 

growth and developmental years and spend a 

signifi cant portion of their lives at these locations, 

it is critical to have adequate data to evaluate 

children’s potential exposure to pesticides through 

the consumption of water. The expense of testing 

for a large suite of pesticide residues at part-pertrillion levels is cost-prohibitive to most schools 

and homeowners, as well as to county and State 

governments. PDP collaborated with these groups 

on sample collection and provided them with their 

individual sample results.

When pesticides are detected in groundwater, 

the source is not always the immediate surface 

above, but can be where the water is entering, or 

recharging, the aquifer, often miles away. Thus, 

if pesticides are being used in the recharge zone, 

they may be transported through the aquifer to 

the well. The transport times from recharge points 

(where surface water and precipitation enter the 

ground en route to the aquifer) to the wells can take 

a signifi cant amount of time, from many days to 

years. During this time, microbial and chemical 

degradation of the pesticide can occur. One can 

observe from the data in this report that it is often 

the pesticide metabolites that are detected and not 

the parent pesticide compound. 

Municipal Drinking Water

In 2001, PDP began testing municipal waters 

drawing from surface water sources because 

surface water is more vulnerable to pesticides than 

municipal waters that draw from groundwater 

sources. Most municipal systems that draw water 

from groundwater obtain water from fairly deep 

(i.e., >200 foot) aquifers that are not generally 

susceptible to pesticide contamination. 

The sample collection sites are community water 

systems that draw water from surface water 

sources. Site selection was made in collaboration 

with EPA’s Offi ce of Pesticide Programs. All 

selected sites met the following criteria: (1) use of 

surface water as the primary source of water and 

(2) location in regions of heavy agriculture where 

known amounts of targeted pesticides of interest 

were applied. Water treatment method was not a 

part of the selection criteria.

Samples were collected bimonthly by trained 

water treatment facility personnel. Paired 

samples of the raw intake water (untreated) and 

disinfected and fi nished drinking water (treated) 

were collected for analysis. Treated water samples 

were collected after the untreated samples at 

a time interval consistent with the hydraulic 

residence. Hydraulic residence is the average 

time from entry into the treatment facility until 

distribution as treated water. Dechlorination and 

preservative chemicals were added to the samples 

at the time of collection. Samples were packed 

with frozen cold packs and shipped overnight to 

the testing laboratories. 

Figure 7 shows the distribution of drinking water 

sites for the 2011 PDP testing program. One 

hundred twenty untreated and 119 fi nished drinking 

water samples were collected from 5 community 

water systems in 3 States - Louisiana (2 sites), 

Minnesota (1 site), and Tennessee (2 sites). Each 

watershed refl ects the local topography, watershed 

size, geomorphology, soil types, geology, land 

use, land management practices, crop production, 

pesticides applied, and application methods. Due 

to the complexities associated with water quality 

assessments, these data refl ect only the unique 

characteristics of the watersheds from which the 

samples were obtained.

are equipped with instrumentation capable of 

detecting residues at very low levels. Laboratory 

staff members receive intensive training and 

must demonstrate analytical profi ciency on an 

ongoing basis. Program scientists continually test 

new technologies and develop new techniques to 

improve the levels of detection. Major changes in 

methodology and/or instrumentation are evaluated 

and their soundness demonstrated and documented 

by means of method validation modules in 

accordance with PDP SOPs.

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities

Fruit and vegetable samples were tested for 319 

parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or 

isomers, plus 17 environmental contaminants using 

Multiresidue Methods (MRMs). Upon arrival at the 

testing facility, samples of fresh commodities were 

visually examined for acceptability and discarded 

if determined to be inedible (decayed, extensively 

bruised, or spoiled). Except for cantaloupe, onions, 

and tangerines, fresh produce samples were washed 

under gently running cold water, emulating the 

practices of the average consumer to more closely 

represent actual exposure to residues. Samples were 

not cooked, bleached, or washed with detergents. 

Additionally, any inedible or damaged portions 

were removed prior to further preparation. For 

example, the stems, cores and seeds were removed 

from sweet bell peppers; tangerines were peeled; 

the outside leaves and core were removed from 

cabbage, etc. Processed commodities were not 

washed or cooked prior to homogenization and 

were homogenized with all liquid that was present 

in the sample package. Orange juice concentrate 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

was reconstituted according to package directions 

while ready-to-serve orange juice was simply 

mixed prior to removal of a portion for analysis. 

Detailed information on sample preparation for 

each commodity is available in the Laboratory 

Operations (PDP-LABOP) SOP on the PDP Web 

site at www.ams.usda.gov/pdp. 

Laboratories are permitted to refrigerate incoming 

fresh fruit and vegetable samples of the same 

commodity up to 72 hours to allow for different 

sample arrival times from collection sites. Frozen 

and canned commodities may be held in storage 

(freezer or shelf) until the entire sample set is 

ready for analysis.

Samples are homogenized using choppers and/

or blenders and separated into analytical portions 

(aliquots) for analysis. If testing cannot be 

performed immediately, the entire analytical set 

is frozen at -40°C or lower, according to PDP’s 

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) 

requirements. Surplus aliquots not used for the 

initial testing are retained frozen in the event that 

replication of analysis or verifi cation testing is 

required.

For analysis of fruit and vegetables, residues are 

extracted using organic solvents followed by 

cleanup procedures such as Solid Phase Extraction 

(SPE). The California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, 

and Washington laboratories used various Quick, 

Easy, Cheap, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS1

)-

based approaches. The Texas laboratory used 

a modifi cation of the MRM developed by the 

California Department of Food and Agriculture 

(CDFA) to analyze all assigned commodities 

except for onions, which were analyzed using 

a QuEChERS-based approach. The New 

York laboratory used a method based on the 

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada SPE method 

with some modifi cations based on the Luke I/II 

procedures. All MRMs are determined, prior to 

use and through appropriate method validation 

procedures, to produce equivalent data for PDP 

analytical purposes.

PDP laboratories primarily use gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) 

instrumentation, coupled with tandem mass 

spectrometry (MS) detection systems for the 

simultaneous identifi cation/confi rmation and 

quantitation of pesticides. The use of these GC-MS/

MS and LC-MS/MS systems allows the program 

to capture data for a broad spectrum of pesticides, 

including emerging product chemistries.

♦ Baby Food

In 2011, PDP laboratories analyzed baby food 

green beans (584 samples), baby food pears (585 

samples) and baby food sweet potatoes (585 

samples) for a total of 249 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus 

15 environmental contaminants. The baby food 

green beans and baby food sweet potatoes were 

analyzed by CDFA. Sample from jars of the same 

lot number were combined, homogenized and 

extracted using a modifi cation of the QuEChERS 

method. Analyses were performed utilizing GCmicro electron capture detector (μECD), GC-fl ame 

photometric detector (FPD), GC-mass selective 

detector (MSD), GC/MS/MS, and LC-MS/MS. 

Baby food pear samples were analyzed by the PDP 

New York laboratory using the method based on the 

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada SPE method. 

Analyses were performed via GC-FPD, GC-MS/

MS, and LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Soybeans

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, 

MO, analyzed 300 soybean samples for 93 parent 

pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, 

plus 5 environmental contaminants. Soybean 

samples were stored at room temperature until time 

of grinding. Five hundred grams (500 g) of sample 

were ground thoroughly and tumbled to achieve 

a homogenous mixture. Extraction of soybean 

samples was accomplished using an acetonitrilewater solvent extraction and SPE cleanup and 

analyzed by LC-MS/MS.

The GIPSA laboratory shipped portions of each 

ground soybean sample to the Colorado laboratory 

for specialty analysis of glyphosate and its 

aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) metabolite.

Samples were extracted using a method specifi cally 

developed for the analysis of glyphosate and 

AMPA, with residue determinations performed via 

LC-MS/MS.

♦ Eggs

The AMS NSL in Gastonia, NC, tested 371 egg 

samples for 90 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, plus 16 environmental 

contaminants. Upon arrival at the testing facility, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

and discarded if warm to the touch, spoiled, or 

cracked/leaking. Eggs comprising each sample 

(≥10 eggs) were cracked into a clean blender vessel 

and shells were discarded. If not homogenized 

immediately after arrival, samples were stored 

up to 3 days at 2-4 °C prior to homogenization. 

Samples were homogenized using a blender at 

low speed for approximately 20 seconds, with the 

introduction of air to the sample avoided as much 

as possible. Sample homogenates were weighed 

to 15 grams for the analytical portion, along with 

two reserve portions, and stored at -70°C until time 

of analysis. Extraction of eggs was accomplished 

using organic solvents followed by centrifugation 

and column/dispersive SPE clean up. Samples 

were analyzed using GC-MS and LC-MS/MS.

♦ Milk

The PDP New York laboratory, tested 743 milk 

samples for 177 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, plus 15 environmental 

contaminants. Upon arrival at the testing facility, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

and discarded if warm to the touch, spoiled, or 

leaking. Approximately 50 grams was weighed 

for each sample followed by organic solvent 

extraction, centrifugation, and column/dispersive 

SPE clean up. Samples were analyzed using GCMS, GC-FPD and LC-MS/MS.

♦ Potable Groundwater from Domestic and 

School/Childcare Facility Wells

In 2011, PDP conducted two groundwater testing 

studies: one for private domestic wells, and one for 

school/childcare facilities. Onsite wells providing 

drinking water to school/childcare facilities are 

regulated by EPA’s Offi ce of Water under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as non-transient, 

non-community water systems. SDWA requires 

testing for the 23 compounds that have established 

Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). These 

compounds include only parent compounds – no 

metabolites are required to be tested. In both 

surface and groundwater, metabolites, rather 

than parent compounds are more often detected. 

Furthermore, metabolites are often more water 

soluble and stable than parent compounds and are 

usually detected at higher concentrations than the 

parent compounds. EPA does not have established 

MCL levels or testing requirements for these 

metabolites. 

Private residential wells supply drinking water to 

approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population. 

Private wells serving a single or a few families 

are not regulated under SDWA, or by other EPA 

statutes. These wells are typically fairly shallow 

and are often sourcing the closest, or most shallow, 

water source. Homes with wells tend to be located 

in more rural locations, often in agricultural areas. 

Due to the cost of analysis, data on pesticides and 

metabolites for these domestic wells were scarce.

The Minnesota and Montana laboratories analyzed 

groundwater samples for 172 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus one 

environmental contaminant. These compounds 

were determined to be of interest to EPA based on 

data needs for risk assessment as required under 

FQPA. Each sample consisted of three 1-liter amber 

glass bottles. Upon arrival at the testing laboratory, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

(no leakage). Samples were refrigerated until time 

of analysis, which began within fi ve working days 

of collection. One liter of the sample was extracted 

for compounds amenable to GC-MS analysis and 

one liter was extracted for compounds amenable to 

LC-MS/MS. A third bottle was held in reserve in 

case of breakage or laboratory accident. 

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

The New York laboratory analyzed drinking 

water for 167 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, plus 11 environmental 

contaminants. These compounds were determined 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

18

to be of interest to EPA based on data needs for risk 

assessment as required under FQPA. Each sample 

consisted of three 1-liter amber glass bottles collected 

at the water treatment facility. Upon arrival at the 

testing laboratory, samples were visually examined 

for acceptability and discarded if warm to the touch 

or leaking. Samples were refrigerated until time of 

analysis and extracted within 96 hours of collection. 

A 1-liter bottle was extracted for compounds 

amenable to GC-MS analysis and another bottle 

was extracted for compounds amenable to LCMS/MS analysis. The remaining bottle was held 

in reserve or extracted for specialty compounds 

requiring separate extraction/analytical procedures 

(e.g., pharmaceutical compounds). The extraction 

methods used were initially based on SPE methods 

developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); 

these methods were modifi ed to capture specifi c 

analytes of interest and were independently validated 

by each testing laboratory.

♦ Quality Assurance Program

The primary objectives of the QA/QC program 

are to ensure the reliability of PDP data and the 

performance equivalency of the participating 

laboratories. Direction for the PDP QA program 

is provided through SOPs initially based on EPA 

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). The PDP 

SOPs provide uniform administrative and sampling 

procedures, as well as laboratory operations and data 

analyses guidelines. The program SOPs are revised 

annually to accommodate changes in the program 

and are aligned with International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO2

) requirements. PDP State 

laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025 by the 

American Association for Laboratory Accreditation 

(A2LA), an internationally recognized accrediting 

body.

Laboratory Technical Advisory Group and Quality 

Assurance Offi cers: A Technical Advisory Group, 

comprised of laboratory Technical Program Managers 

(TPMs) and Quality Assurance Offi cers (QAOs), is 

responsible for annually reviewing program SOPs 

and addressing QA issues. For day-to-day QA 

oversight, PDP relies on the Quality Assurance Unit 

(QAU) at each participating facility. The QAU 

operates independently from the laboratory staff and 

is responsible for reviewing all data generated for 

PDP and for performing quarterly, internal program 

audits. Preliminary data review procedures were 

performed onsite by each laboratory’s QAU. Final 

review procedures are performed by MPD staff that 

are responsible for collating and reviewing data for 

conformance with SOPs.

Method Performance Requirements: Laboratories 

are required to determine and verify the limits of 

detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) 

for each pesticide/commodity pair. LODs depend 

on matrix, analyte, and methods used (extraction 

and instrumental). LODs for each pesticide/

commodity pair are shown in the applicable crop 

results appendix. Additional method performance/

validation requirements include modules for 

consistent instrument response (linearity), method 

range, and precision and accuracy.

Identifi cation/Confi rmation: Identifi cation and 

confi rmation is performed primarily by MS 

technologies. Residue amounts greater than 

or equal to LOD and below LOQ are reported 

as below quantifi able level (BQL). BQLs are 

assigned values at one-half the LOQ, and are used 

along with values greater than or equal to LOQ 

and non-detects in dietary risk assessments, when 

appropriate.

Routine Quality Control Procedures: PDP 

procedures for QC are intended to assess method 

and analyst performance during sample preparation, 

extraction, and cleanup. To maximize sample 

output and decrease the QC/sample ratio, samples 

are analyzed in analytical sets that include the test 

samples and the following components:

• Reagent Blank - For analysis of fruit and 

vegetables, soybeans, eggs, and milk, an amount of 

distilled water, equivalent to the natural moisture 

content of the commodity, is run through the entire 

analytical process to confi rm glassware cleanliness 

and system integrity.

 2 “ISO” is not an acronym because the initials would be different in various offi cial languages. “ISO” is adopted from the 

Greek word “isos” meaning equal.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

19

• Matrix Blank - A previously analyzed sample 

of the same commodity, which contains either 

very low concentrations of known residues or no 

detectable residues, is divided into two portions. 

The fi rst portion is used to determine background 

information on naturally occurring chemicals and 

the second to prepare a matrix spike.

• Matrix Spike(s) - Prior to extraction, a portion 

of matrix blank is spiked with marker pesticides to 

determine the precision and accuracy of the analyst 

and instrument performance. Marker pesticides 

are compounds selected from different pesticide 

classes (e.g., organochlorines, organophosphates, 

carbamates, conazoles, imidazolinones, macrocyclic lactones, neonicotinyls, phenoxy acid 

herbicides, pyrethroids, strobilurins, sulfonyl urea 

herbicides, triazines, uracils), with physical and 

chemical characteristics representative of their 

corresponding pesticide class. Marker pesticides 

may be used to monitor recovery instead of spiking all 

pesticides. This use of marker pesticides optimizes 

the resources required to analyze the thousands of 

analyte/matrix combinations in the program while 

still allowing evaluation of daily recovery patterns. 

In addition, each laboratory must perform matrix 

spikes at least quarterly for each analyte/crop 

combination it reports. Some laboratories choose 

to rotate spikes of all compounds on a set-to-set 

basis or spike all compounds analyzed with each 

set, so that the amount of spike recovery data 

obtained actually exceeds the minimal requirements 

previously stated. During 2011, PDP laboratories 

quantitated a total of 75,583 matrix spikes, with an 

overall mean recovery of 94 percent and an overall 

26 percent coeffi cient of variation (% C.V.). The % 

C.V. is calculated as the standard deviation divided 

by the mean.

• Process Control Spike - A compound with physical 

and chemical characteristics similar to those of 

the pesticides being tested is used to evaluate the 

analytical process on a sample-by-sample basis. 

Each of the analytical set components, except 

the reagent and matrix blanks, is spiked with 

process controls. During 2011, PDP laboratories 

quantitated a total of 37,368 process controls on 

12,737 samples, with an overall mean recovery 

of 96 percent and an overall 20 % C.V. Of these 

process controls, 71 (0.2 percent) were reruns due 

to initial failure to meet PDP recovery criteria. The 

rerun values are not included in these statistics.

Profi ciency Testing: All facilities are required 

to participate in PDP’s Profi ciency Testing 

(PT) program. In order to properly benchmark 

performance, PDP laboratories participate in 

two international PT programs: AOAC and the 

Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme 

(FAPAS) PT program, administered by the Food 

and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, 

York, UK. In 2011, PDP laboratories that routinely 

analyze fruit and vegetables via MRMs participated 

in one AOAC round for bell peppers. Bell pepper 

samples were spiked with nine compounds. PDP 

fruit and vegetable laboratories participated in 

one FAPAS round of cucumbers that contained 

six fortifi ed analytes. For AOAC and FAPAS, 

laboratories were evaluated based on z-scores for 

reported compounds, as well as any reported false 

negatives or false positives. PDP laboratories 

typically obtained z-scores less than two, which is 

deemed satisfactory performance.

In addition, PDP laboratories participate in an 

internal PT program that is tailored to current 

PDP commodities and testing profi les, including 

commodities for products other than fruit and 

vegetables that are not typically available from an 

outside source. For this internal program, the CDFA 

QAU prepares and issues rounds designed by MPD. 

Spiking compounds are selected with specifi city 

and levels for each commodity. Fortifi cation levels 

of selected analytes are generally 1 to 10 times the 

program LOQ for that commodity/compound pair. 

For each multiresidue round, one compound per 

set is typically repeated within the round to provide 

an indicator of repeatability. The resulting data are 

used to determine performance equivalency among 

the testing laboratories and to evaluate individual 

laboratory performance. 

During 2011, PDP laboratories received:

- Three multiresidue fruit and vegetable PT rounds 

(cabbage, cantaloupe, and hot peppers), each 

consisting of three test samples. The cantaloupe 

and hot pepper rounds were fortifi ed with 11 

compounds each, while the cabbage round was 

fortifi ed with 12 compounds.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

20

- One soybean set consisting of 3 samples that were 

fortifi ed with a total of 13 compounds,

- One egg set consisting of three samples that were 

fortifi ed with a total of ten compounds,

- One milk set consisting of 3 samples that were 

fortifi ed with a total of 12 compounds, and

- One glyphosate round for soybeans consisting of 

two fortifi ed samples.

For water, 2 profi ciency sample sets were analyzed 

during 2011, with 8 compounds fortifi ed in a round 

and 11 compounds in the other round. Customdesigned test solutions, based on testing profi les 

and detection limits, were used for spiking, rather 

than distribution of spiked samples, due to stability 

concerns. For each round, the vendor supplied each 

laboratory’s QAU with the specifi ed solution, which 

was diluted according to program protocols. This 

solution was then used to fortify replicate samples 

collected from PDP sampling sites whose samples 

historically contained multiple pesticides but not 

those included in the spike solution. The spiked 

samples then were presented to the staff members 

of each respective laboratory for analysis.

Onsite Reviews: In addition to the onsite assessments performed by A2LA that are required to 

maintain ISO 17025 accreditation, MPD staff 

chemists perform onsite reviews of laboratory 

operations to determine compliance specifi cally 

with PDP SOPs. Improvements in sampling, 

chain-of-custody, laboratory, recordkeeping, and 

electronic data transmission procedures are made as 

a result of onsite reviews.

IV. Database Management

 

PDP maintains an electronic database at the MPD 

in Manassas, VA, that serves as a central data 

repository. The data captured and stored in the PDP 

database include sample collection and product 

information, residue fi ndings, and process control 

recoveries for each sample analyzed, in addition 

to QA/QC fortifi ed recoveries for each set of 

samples. Each calendar-year survey is stored in a 

separate database structure, which allows easier 

administration and data reporting. The PDP data 

path is illustrated in Figure 8.

♦ Electronic Data Path

 

PDP utilizes the Remote Data Entry (RDE) system, 

which is a customized software application that 

allows participating State and Federal laboratories 

to enter and transmit data electronically. The RDE 

system is centralized with all user interface software 

and database fi les residing in Washington, D.C. 

The laboratory users need only a Web browser to 

interface with the RDE system. Access is controlled 

through separate user login/password accounts and 

user access rights for the various system functions 

based on position requirements. The RDE system 

utilizes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to 

encrypt all data passed between users’ computers 

and the central Web server. 

A separate Windows®-based system allows sample 

collectors to capture the standardized Sample 

Information Form (SIF) electronically on handheld 

or laptop computers. The e-SIF system generates 

formatted text fi les containing sample information 

that are e-mailed to PDP headquarters and then 

imported into the Web-based RDE system.

The RDE data entry screens have extensive editing 

functions and cross-checks built into the software 

to ensure valid values are entered for all critical data 

elements. This task is made easier by the practice 

of capturing and storing standardized codes for 

all critical alphanumeric data elements rather than 

their complete names, meanings, or descriptions. 

This coding scheme allows for faster and more 

accurate data entry, saves disk storage space, and 

allows the user to perform ad-hoc queries (data 

searches) on the database easily. The data entry 

screens also perform automatic edits on numeric 

fi elds, dates, and other character fi elds to ensure 

entries are within prescribed boundaries. 

At PDP headquarters, the RDE system allows staff 

chemists to review the data on-line and then to 

mark the data as ready-for-upload to the central 

PDP database. A separate upload application 

converts and passes the data to the PDP database, 

which is maintained using Microsoft® Access and 

SQL Server database tools. Access to the central

♦ Data Reporting 

The MPD staff frequently receives requests for 

data from Government agencies and interested 

outside parties. Ad-hoc queries and custom reports 

are generated to fi ll such requests. An electronic 

library of data queries is maintained to generate 

standardized data summaries, including the data 

tables, charts, and appendices in this annual 

summary. Subsets of the PDP calendar year 

databases are made available for download from 

the PDP Web site. The data fi les on the Web site 

are delimited text fi les that contain a portion of 

the sampling data, all reported residue fi ndings, 

and reference lists that can be used to interpret 

the standardized codes used in the PDP data. The 

data fi les can be imported into defi ned database 

structures and manipulated using common database 

management software packages.

V. Sample Results and Discussion

♦ Overview

In 2011, PDP conducted surveys on a variety of 

foods including fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables, soybeans, eggs, milk, groundwater, 

and treated and untreated drinking water. Of the 

12,737 samples collected and analyzed, 10,480 

were fresh and processed fruit and vegetable 

commodities, 300 were soybean samples (collected 

from September 2010 through April 2011), 

371 were egg samples, 743 were milk samples, 

604 were groundwater samples, and 239 were 

drinking water samples. Appendix B tabulates the 

distribution of residues in fruit and vegetables for 

the complete 2011 data set. Information included 

in this appendix are: number of samples analyzed 

for a particular compound; number and percent of 

samples with detections; range of concentrations 

detected; range of analytical LODs; and EPA 

tolerance levels. Appendices C, D, E, F and G 

provide the distribution of residues for soybeans, 

eggs, milk, groundwater, and treated and untreated 

drinking water, respectively. Appendix H tabulates 

the results for environmental contaminants across 

all commodities. Environmental contaminants are 

consolidated into a single appendix because they have 

no registered uses and are not applied to crops. These 

compounds are subject to FDA action levels, rather 

than tolerances. Because environmental contaminants 

continue to persist in the environment, they are 

unavoidable and may be present in food commodities 

at generally low levels. All individual sample data 

can be downloaded from the PDP Website at http://

www.ams.usda.gov/pdp or obtained by contacting 

MPD.

For fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, eggs, 

and milk, 72.7 percent of all samples were produced 

in the United States, 22.8 percent were imports, 3.8 

percent were of mixed origin, and 0.7 percent were of 

unknown origin. Appendix I shows the distribution 

of sample origin by State or country. Of the domestic 

samples, approximately 32.3 percent (2,724 of 8,429) 

were grown, packed, and/or distributed in or from 

California. Soybeans and groundwater and drinking 

water are excluded from Appendix I since the samples 

targeted rely on differential sampling frames and are 

not collected from routine PDP sample collection 

locations (i.e., terminal markets and large chain 

store distribution centers throughout the country). 

Soybeans are collected from trains, trucks and barges. 

Groundwater samples are collected from private 

domestic wells and school/childcare facilities while 

treated and untreated drinking water samples are 

collected from community water treatment facilities. 

Appendix J includes a comparison of residues for 

selected commodities with a signifi cant import 

component.

Food monitoring data, together with dietary 

consumption surveys, are used by EPA to estimate 

dietary exposure to pesticides to ensure the safety 

of existing pesticide uses. EPA uses all results 

reported by PDP, including sample results reported 

as below the LOD and those above the tolerance. 

PDP laboratories are required to establish LODs and 

report any instrumental response below the LOD as 

a non-detect. LODs are established experimentally 

for each pesticide/commodity pair and are reported 

with each data set. The number of non-detects can 

be used in conjunction with percent crop treated data 

to determine what proportion of these values may be 

counted as zero towards the dietary exposure.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

♦ Baby Food 

Baby food samples were tested in the laboratory 

as processed products – contents of individual 

containers within a sample were mixed until 

homogeneous, and then an analytical portion was 

removed to be tested by the laboratory’s multiresidue method. Results for baby food commodities 

are shown in Appendices B, K, and M.

♦ Import vs. Domestic Residue Comparisons 

Information about the origin of each PDP sample 

is recorded when the sample is collected. Figure 3 

illustrates the portion of the domestic and import 

component for each of the PDP fruit and vegetable 

commodities in 2011. The data generated by 

PDP refl ect pesticide residues in foods, both 

domestic and imported products, available to the 

U.S. consumer. Many commodities are almost 

entirely of domestic origin, such as cabbage (94.1 

percent), caulifl ower (95.1 percent), and lettuce 

(97.3 percent) with only minor import (5.0 percent, 

3.8 percent, and 2.0 percent, respectively) and 

unknown origins (0.9 percent, 1.1 percent, and 0.7 

percent, respectively). Other fresh commodities, 

such as cantaloupe, sweet bell peppers, and 

tangerines are from domestic growers part of the 

year and imported during the remaining months, as 

illustrated in Figure 4.

Comparisons of selected residues detected in 

imported versus domestic snap peas, cherry 

tomatoes, hot peppers, and sweet bell peppers can 

be found in Appendix J. These sample sets were 

selected to compare data where residues are present 

in greater than 10 percent of the commodity and 

allow for the comparison of individual residues. 

These data also show that the residue profi les for 

domestic and imported crops are signifi cantly 

different. 

The snap pea data in Appendix J illustrate that in 

2011 carbendazim, difenoconazole, dimethoate, 

and omethoate were detected more frequently in 

imported samples than in domestic samples. For 

example, carbendazim (MBC) was detected in 36 

percent of the samples from Guatemala and 6.5 

percent of the U.S. samples and dimethoate was 

detected in 49.9 percent of the Guatemalan samples 

and in 24.3 percent of the domestic samples. 

The cherry tomato data in Appendix J illustrate 

that in 2011 azoxystrobin and myclobutanil, were 

detected more frequently in imported samples than 

in domestic samples. For example, azoxystrobin 

was detected in 20.8 percent of the samples from 

Mexico and 16.5 percent of the U.S. samples and 

myclobutanil was detected in 21.8 percent of the 

Mexican samples and in 1.5 percent of the domestic 

samples. Bifenthrin, chlorantraniliprole, and 

clothianidin were detected more frequently in U.S. 

samples than in Mexican samples. Bifenthrin was 

detected in 21.2 percent of U.S. samples and 17.0 

percent of Mexican samples. Chlorantraniliprole 

was found in 29.7 percent of U.S. samples and 2.7 

percent of Mexican samples while clothianidin was 

detected in 18.5 percent of domestic samples and 

13.2 percent of samples from Mexico. Boscalid, 

imidacloprid, and pyraclostrobin were detected 

with relatively equal frequency in both the U.S. and 

Mexican cherry tomatoes. 

For hot peppers, the following residues were 

detected more often in imported samples: 

clothianidin, endosulfan sulfate, omethoate, 

oxamyl oxime, and thiamethoxam. For example, 

endosulfan sulfate was detected in 16.0 percent of 

Mexican hot peppers and in 5.7 percent of U.S. hot 

peppers. Omethoate was detected in 24.1 percent of 

Mexican samples and in 4.4 percent of U.S. samples. 

Azoxystrobin was detected in 21.1 percent of 

domestic hot peppers and in 5.1 percent of Mexican 

product. Imidacloprid and methamidophos were 

detected with relatively equal frequency in both the 

U.S. and Mexican hot peppers.

The sweet bell pepper data in Appendix J illustrate 

that in 2011 endosulfan sulfate, myclobutanil, 

oxamyl oxime, pyraclostrobin, and thiamethoxam 

were detected more frequently in imported samples 

than in domestic samples. For example, endosulfan 

sulfate was detected in 31.6 percent of the samples 

from Mexico and 2.3 percent of the U.S. samples. 

Myclobutanil was detected in 40.9 percent of the 

samples from Mexico and 17.9 percent of the U.S. 

samples and thiamethoxam was detected in 38.1 

percent of the Mexican samples and in 8.5 percent 

of the domestic samples. Acephate, azoxystrobin, 

imidacloprid, and methamidophos were detected 

more frequently in domestic product than imported. 

For example, azoxystrobin was detected in 15.3 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

24

percent of U.S. sweet bell peppers and 7.9 percent 

of the Mexican samples. Acephate was detected 

in 14.7 percent of U.S. sweet bell peppers and 

5.6 percent of Mexican samples, while methamidophos was detected in 19.4 percent of U.S. 

product and 7.0 percent of Mexican samples. 

Imidacloprid was detected in 29.6 percent of U.S. 

sweet bell peppers and in 23.7 percent of Mexican 

samples. Bifenthrin was detected with relatively 

equal frequency in both the U.S. and Mexican 

sweet bell peppers. 

All pesticides detected, except difenoconazole in 

snap peas, were registered in the U.S.; however, 

the profi les of residue fi ndings were markedly 

different in the U.S. samples versus samples 

from these exporting countries. The differences 

in residue detections between countries were 

likely due to the pesticides used in response to 

pest pressures based on differing environmental, 

climatic, and growing conditions.

♦ Postharvest Applications

Pesticides can be applied before and after harvest 

depending on the crop and approved label use. 

PDP data capture both preharvest and postharvest 

uses because samples are collected at points when 

all pesticide applications have already occurred. 

Pesticides applied postharvest are used primarily 

as fungicides (e.g., azoxystrobin, imazalil, 

o-phenylphenol, and thiabendazole) and sprouting 

inhibitors (e.g., chlorpropham). Some detections 

reported in Appendix B most likely refl ect 

postharvest applications to the raw agricultural 

commodity.

♦ Discussion of Results

There are many pesticides registered for use on the 

same crop; however, not all crops are sprayed and 

not all available pesticides are used at the same time 

or location. Pesticide use is primarily dictated by 

local pest pressures and environmental conditions 

conducive to pest outbreak, as well as the planting 

of susceptible varieties. These differences are 

captured by PDP data which refl ect actual residues 

present in food grown in various regions of the 

U.S. and overseas. Thus, in evaluating consumer 

exposure to pesticides through the diet, EPA uses 

all available information provided by registrants, 

PDP, and others to verify that tolerances meet the 

safety standards set by FQPA. The reporting of 

residues present at levels below the established 

tolerance serves to ensure and verify the safety of 

the Nation’s food supply.

Food commodities with pesticides detected in 

at least 5 percent of samples tested are shown in 

Appendix K. The data shown include the range and 

mean of values detected and U.S. EPA tolerance 

references for each pair.

By virtue of the MRMs employed, PDP provides 

novel data that can be used by EPA to evaluate 

exposure to multiple residues from the same 

commodity. The data are crucial for assessments 

that consider cumulative exposure to pesticides 

determined to have common mechanisms of toxicity. 

The distribution of multiple pesticides occurring 

in samples tested during 2011 is presented in 

Appendix L. These data indicate that 48.9 percent 

of all samples tested, excluding groundwater and 

treated and untreated drinking water, contained 

no detectable pesticides, 19.0 percent contained 1 

pesticide, and 32.1 percent contained more than 1 

pesticide. Parent compounds and their metabolites 

are combined to report the number of “pesticides” 

rather than the number of “residues”. Environmental 

contaminants, listed in Appendix H, have been 

excluded from this count of pesticides. 

Fourteen pesticides were detected in one sweet 

bell pepper sample that was a composite sample of 

fi ve pounds of sweet bell peppers. Most multiple 

residue detections result from the application of 

more than one pesticide on a crop during a growing 

season; however, a number of other factors could 

contribute to multiple detections. Unintentional 

spray drift in the fi eld, planting of crops in fi elds 

previously treated with the pesticide, and/or transfer 

of residues of postharvest fungicides applied to other 

commodities stored in the same storage facilities 

could all contribute to residue detections.

In most cases, samples analyzed by PDP are 

composites of 3 to 5 pounds of commodity from the 

same lot. Therefore, the estimated concentrations 

for multiple residue detections in these composite 

sample results may or may not refl ect the number

or levels of pesticides in a single serving item of a 

commodity.

♦ Special Projects

Soybeans: The USDA GIPSA laboratory 

conducted testing on 300 soybean samples using 

a multiresidue method. Appendix C shows that 

13 different residues, representing 12 pesticides, 

were detected in the soybean samples. The most 

frequently detected residue was pyraclostrobin 

which was detected in 20 samples (6.7 percent). 

Malathion was detected in 11 samples (3.7 

percent), azoxystrobin in 10 samples (3.6 percent), 

chlorpyrifos in 8 samples (2.7 percent), and 

carboxin in 4 samples (1.3 percent). Cyhalothrin, 

fl uridone, methoxyfeno-zide, quizalofop ethyl, 

tetraconazole, and trifl oxystrobin were each 

detected in less than one percent of samples All 

residue detections determined by the multiresidue 

method were lower than the established tolerances.

Glyphosate and its AMPA metabolite were also 

tested in the soybean samples. Portions of each 

sample were shipped by the GIPSA laboratory to 

the Colorado laboratory for glyphosate testing, 

which requires a specialized analytical method. 

Of the 300 samples tested, 271 (90.3 percent) of 

samples contained glyphosate at levels ranging 

from 0.26 parts per million (ppm) to 18.5 ppm. 

The AMPA metabolite was detected in 287 (95.7 

percent) of the samples at levels ranging from 0.26 

ppm to 20 ppm. The tolerance for glyphosate in 

soybeans is 20 ppm – no samples exceeded that 

tolerance. 

Eggs: The AMS NSL conducted testing for 

pesticide residues on 371 egg samples. Overall, 

six different residues (including metabolites) were 

detected in the egg samples. The most frequently 

detected residue was piperonyl butoxide which was 

detected in ten samples (2.7 percent). Fluvalinate 

and permethrin were each detected in two samples 

(0.5 percent) and 1-naphthol, a metabolite of 

carbaryl, was detected in one sample (0.3 percent). 

MGK-264 and pyrethrins also were each detected 

in one sample (0.3 percent). All residue detections 

were lower than the established tolerances for 

those compounds with established tolerances.

Milk: The New York laboratory conducted testing 

for pesticide residues on 743 milk samples. Overall, 

fi ve different residues (including metabolites and 

isomers), representing four pesticides, were detected 

in the milk samples. Iprodione was detected in three 

samples (0.4 percent) and trans permethrin in two 

samples (0.3 percent). Dicofol p,p’, cis permethrin, 

and piperonyl butoxide were each detected in one 

sample (0.1 percent). All residue detections were 

lower than the established tolerances.

♦ Potable Groundwater

In 2011, 232 groundwater samples were collected 

from private domestic wells. School/childcare 

facilities provided 372 samples. Overall, 

PDP detected 62 different residues (including 

metabolites), representing 49 pesticides, in the 

groundwater samples. Most of the detections were 

for herbicides or their metabolites. The samples 

with detectable residues came from 443 different 

sites. Residue profi les are shown in Appendix F. Of 

the 372 schools tested, no pesticides were detected 

in 91 (24 percent) samples, while the other 281 (76 

percent) contained from 1 to 17 pesticides. Ninety 

samples were collected from Native American 

Tribal Nation reservation lands. Of these samples, 

58 had no detections and 32 samples contained 1 to 

6 pesticide residues.

In April 2012, EPA’s Offi ce of Water issued “Human 

Health Benchmarks for Pesticides (HHBPs)” http://

iaspub.epa.gov/apex/pesticides/f?p=HHBP:home. 

These benchmarks are for 350 pesticides for which 

there are no MCLs or Health Advisories (HAs). 

While not an enforceable limit, these values provide 

context to safe levels of non-regulated pesticides. 

In 2011, none of the groundwater data exceeded 

any of the EPA HHBPs.

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

PDP analyzed 239 water samples (120 untreated 

samples and 119 fi nished samples) from 

community water systems. Appendix G shows 

the concentration of detected residues in treated 

and untreated water. Thirty-four different residues 

(including metabolites), representing 26 pesticides, 

were detected in the fi nished drinking water and 

36 different residues (including metabolites), 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

26

representing 28 pesticides, were detected in the 

untreated intake water. The majority of pesticides 

included in the PDP testing profi les were not 

detected; those compounds that were detected 

were primarily commonly used herbicides and 

their metabolites.

Water treatment technologies vary widely and 

may be based on the local water chemistry, 

targeted contaminants needing removal, and cost. 

In most cases, treated samples had fewer residues 

and lower concentrations than their untreated 

counterpart. In these cases, the effectiveness of 

water treatment in removing/reducing pesticide 

levels is seen. In a few cases, treated samples 

contained a trace of a residue that was not detected 

in the untreated sample or contained a residue at 

a higher concentration than the paired untreated 

sample. The data acquired to date indicate that in 

these cases the water treatment process removed 

matrix interferences. This provided a more 

effi cient extraction or more sensitive measurement 

in the treated water. Depending on the treatment 

process employed and the chemical properties 

of the pesticide, an individual pesticide may be 

entirely, partially, or not removed during the 

treatment process.

Appendix G also lists the MCLs, Health Advisory 

(HA) values, Fresh Aquatic Organism (FAO) 

criteria and EPA’s new HHBPs. During 2011, none 

of the detections in the fi nished water samples 

exceeded established EPA MCL or HA levels; 

however, many of the compounds in the PDP 

testing profi les do not have established regulatory 

standards. The EPA MCLs apply only to treated 

drinking water, not ambient, untreated water. 

Therefore, for comparative purposes, FAO criteria 

and HHBPs, which are much lower than humanbased MCLs or HA levels, also are given. These 

criteria and benchmarks are lower than MCL or 

HA levels due primarily to higher exposure to 

these compounds because aquatic organisms live 

all or most of their lives in water. During 2011, 

no detections, in either treated or untreated water, 

exceeded established FAO or HHBP levels. 

Additional information regarding EPA drinking 

water standards is available at: http://www.epa.

gov/safewater/ standards/setting.html.

♦ Environmental Contaminants

Environmental contaminants are pesticides whose 

uses have been canceled in the United States, 

but their residues persist in the environment, 

particularly in soil, where they may be taken 

up by plants. These data are also used to 

facilitate international trade. Residue results for 

environmental contaminants may be found in 

Appendix H.

DDT, DDD, and DDE: PDP screened samples for 

various metabolites of DDT including: DDT o,p’; 

DDT p,p’; DDD o,p’; DDD p,p’; and DDE p,p’. 

Use of DDT has been prohibited in the United 

States since 1972; however, due to its persistence 

in the environment, low level residues of DDT and 

its DDD and DDE metabolites were detected in 

some commodities tested. DDE p,p’ was detected 

mainly in winter squash (8.6 percent), frozen 

spinach (5.1 percent), and sweet bell peppers (2.3 

percent). DDD p,p’ and DDT p,p’ were each 

detected in two samples of winter squash (1.1 

percent); no residues of DDD o,p’ or DDT o,p’ 

were detected. All residues detected were lower 

than established FDA Action Levels (ALs). No 

DDT or any of its metabolites were detected in 

drinking water samples (treated or untreated). 

Groundwater samples were not tested for DDT or 

any of its metabolites.

Other Extraneous Pesticides: PDP screened 

samples for other environmental contaminants 

including: aldrin, which readily metabolizes 

to dieldrin; BHC (alpha/beta); chlordane (cis/

trans) and its metabolite oxychlordane; dieldrin; 

endrin; heptachlor and its epoxide metabolite; 

hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and nonachlor (cis/

trans). HCB was used as a seed protectant until 

1965 but, due to its persistence, remains in soil 

and grasses. In 1974, all aldrin and dieldrin uses 

were canceled in the United States and, in 1978, all 

heptachlor uses were canceled. In 1986, chlordane 

uses, except termiticide uses, were canceled. 

Despite these cancellations and because they 

persist in the environment, residues of chlordane, 

dieldrin, endrin, and heptachlor epoxide were 

detected in some of the tested commodities. For 

example, dieldrin was detected in 10.2 percent of 

winter squash samples, 1.2 percent of cantaloupe 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2011

27

samples, and 0.2 percent of lettuce samples, while 

chlordane (cis) and chlordane (trans) were each 

detected in 3.2 percent of winter squash samples. 

Endrin was detected in 1.1 percent of winter squash 

samples and 0.1 percent each of lettuce and snap 

pea samples. Heptachlor epoxide was detected 

in 1.1 percent of winter squash samples. For all 

cases, the detected levels were much lower than 

the FDA action levels. None of the tested drinking 

water samples (treated or untreated) had residues 

of chlordane or its metabolite oxychlordane, 

dieldrin, endrin, or heptachlor epoxide and none 

of the tested groundwater samples contained 

residues of aldrin. 

♦ Tolerance Violations

A tolerance is defi ned under Section 408 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act as the 

maximum quantity of a pesticide residue allowable 

on a raw agricultural commodity. Tolerances are 

also applicable to processed foods. The FQPA of 

1996 amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide 

and Rodenticide Act to require EPA to periodically 

review each pesticide registration using the most 

currently available data. Timely pesticide data 

provided by PDP enable the EPA to refi ne risk 

estimates used in the pesticide reregistration 

process. 

A tolerance violation occurs when a residue is 

found that exceeds the tolerance level or when a 

residue is found for which there is no established 

tolerance. With the exception of meat, poultry, 

and egg products, for which USDA is responsible, 

FDA enforces tolerances for all imported and 

domestic foods that move through interstate 

commerce. Unlike enforcement programs, PDP 

emphasizes determination of residues at the lowest 

detectable levels rather than quick turn-around 

times. When PDP identifi es samples with residues 

exceeding the tolerance or with residues for which 

there is no established tolerance, these detections 

are reported to FDA regional and headquarters 

offi ces. This notifi cation is made in accordance 

with a Memorandum of Understanding between 

USDA and FDA for the purpose of pinpointing 

areas where closer surveillance may be needed. 

FDA assesses PDP apparent violation data for 

appropriateness for follow-up under its regulatory 

pesticide program. Due to the time period required 

for completion of PDP analyses and data reporting, 

FDA follow-up will usually be at a subsequent 

harvest or commodity availability period. In 

instances where a PDP fi nding is extraordinary and 

may pose a safety risk, FDA is immediately notifi ed.

Residues exceeding the established tolerance are 

noted with an “X” in Appendices B, C, D, and E. 

Similarly, residues for which a tolerance is not 

established are noted with a “V.” The “X” and “V” 

annotations are followed by a number indicating 

the number of samples reported to FDA. The EPA 

tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices 

apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There 

may be instances where tolerances may have been 

recently set or revoked that would have an effect on 

whether a residue is violative.

An established tolerance may apply to more than 

one residue because pesticides may break down into 

more than one metabolite or contain more than one 

isomer. For example, the tolerance for endosulfan 

combines residues of endosulfan I, endosulfan 

II, and endosulfan sulfate; and organophosphate 

tolerances may combine the parent compound and 

the sulfone and sulfoxide metabolites. Therefore, 

where applicable, the pesticide violations in 

Appendix M are combined residues of parent and 

any isomers and/or metabolites to count the total 

number of samples with tolerance violations.

Excluding water, a total of 413 samples with 612 

pesticides were reported to FDA as Presumptive 

Tolerance Violations. Pesticides exceeding the 

tolerance were detected in 0.27 percent (32 samples) 

of the total samples tested (11,894 samples). Of 

these 32 samples, 25 were imported (78 percent) 

and 7 were domestic (22 percent). The samples 

containing pesticides that exceeded established 

tolerances include: 1 cabbage sample, 1 cantaloupe 

sample, 1 cherry tomato sample, 1 hot pepper 

sample, 3 frozen spinach samples, 3 samples of 

sweet bell peppers, and 22 snap pea samples. Of 

those 32 samples, 25 were reported as imported 

produce.

Residues with no established tolerance were found 

in 3.4 percent (399 samples) of the total samples 

tested (11,894 samples). Of these 399 samples, 280

were imported (70 percent), 115 were domestic 

(29 percent), and 4 were of unknown origin (1 

percent). These samples included 360 fresh 

fruit and vegetable samples, 37 processed fruit/

vegetable samples, and 2 egg samples. The 37 

processed fruit/vegetable samples were baby food 

green beans and baby food pears. There were 270 

samples with 1 pesticide each, 85 samples with 2 

pesticides each, 37 samples with 3 pesticides each, 

6 samples with 4 pesticides each, and 1 sample with 

5 pesticides. Eighteen samples with pesticides 

having no established tolerance also contained 

one pesticide each that exceeded an established 

tolerance. In most cases, these pesticides with 

no established tolerance were detected at very 

low levels. Some pesticide residues may have 

resulted from unintentional spray drift in the 

fi eld, planting of crops in fi elds previously 

treated with the pesticide, or transfer of pesticide 

residues of postharvest fungicides applied to other 

commodities stored in the same storage facilities. 

The pesticide levels and commodities are listed in

Appendix B

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Fruit and Vegetables

Appendix B shows residue detections for all fruit and vegetable pesticide/commodity pairs

tested, including range of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerances for each pair. The EPA toleranc

cited in this summary and Appendices apply to 2011 and not to the current year. The

may be instances where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would

have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

In 2011, 10,480 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 6,989 were fresh

product and 3,491 were processed product.

The Pesticide Data Program reports tolerance violations to the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) as part of an interagency Memorandum of Understanding between

the U.S. Department of Agriculture and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown 

the “Pesticide/Commodity” column to the right of the commodity and are annotated as

“X” (if the residue exceeded the established tolerance) or “V” (if the residue did not have

a tolerance listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180). In both case

these annotations are followed by a number indicating the number of samples reported

to FDA.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including fruit and

vegetables, have been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no

registered uses and are not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

^ Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

NT = No tolerance level was set for that pesticide/commodity pair.

EX = Methoprene is exempt from the requirement of a tolerance in or on all food commodities when used to control insect larvae.

NR = Metabolite of carbaryl. Not regulated (not included in tolerance expression).

1 Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have separate registrations. Mefenoxam is also known as Metalaxyl-M, which is one of the spatial

isomers comprising metalaxyl. The spatial isomers of metalaxyl are analytically indistinguishable via multiresidue methods.

2 Specific tolerance established for methamidophos in green beans as a possible result of an acephate application.

3 Specific tolerance established for methamidophos in hot peppers as a possible result of an acephate application.

4 Analytically determined as the salt (hydrochloride).

(X) = Residue was found which exceeds EPA tolerance or FDA action level. Following "X" are the number of occurrences. Refer to

page 1 in Appendix M to see the sample origin (domestic, imported, or unknown) for each occurrence.

(V) = Residue was found where no tolerance was established by EPA. Following "V" are the number of occurrences. Refer to

pages 2 through 4 in Appendix M to see the number of occurrences broken down by sample origin (domestic, imported, or

unknown) for a commodity/pesticide pair.

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is 

advised to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances

apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or 

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

Appendix C

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Soybeans

Appendix C shows residue detections for all compounds tested in soybeans, including range

of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in this summa

and Appendices apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may be instances whe

tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an effect on whether a

residue is violative or not.

In 2011, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 300 soybean samples. PDP detected 

different residues (including metabolites), representing 12 pesticides, in the soybean samples.

All residue detections were lower than the established tolerances.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including soybeans, have

been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no registered uses and are not

applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

^ = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

NA = AMPA, a degradation product of glyphosate, is not subject to the food tolerance established for glyphosate. 

 The tolerance applies only to the parent compound.

NT = No tolerance level was set for that pesticide/commodity pair.

* = Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have separate registrations. Mefenoxam is also known as Metalaxyl-M, which is one

 of the spatial isomers comprising metalaxyl. The spatial isomers of metalaxyl are analytically indistinguishable 

 via multiresidue methods.

Pesticide Types:

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

P = Plant Growth Regulator

R = Insect Growth Regulator

S = Herbicide Safener

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is 

advised to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances

apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or 

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not. 

Appendix C. Page 3 of 3
Appendix D

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Eggs

Appendix D shows residue detections for all compounds tested in eggs, including

range of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited 

this summary and Appendices apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may 

instances where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an

effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

In 2011, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 371 egg samples. PDP detected

different residues (including metabolites) in the egg samples. All residue detections we

lower than the established tolerances for those compounds with established tolerances.

PDP reports tolerance violations to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as

part of an interagency Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Department

of Agriculture and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” colu

to the right of the pesticide name and are annotated as “X” (if the residue exceeded the

established tolerance) or “V” (if the residue did not have a tolerance listed in the Code of

Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are follow

by a number indicating the number of samples reported to FDA.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including eggs, have

been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no registered uses and

are not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

^ = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

* = Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have separate registrations. Mefenoxam is also known as Metalaxyl-M, which is one

 of the spatial isomers comprising metalaxyl. The spatial isomers of metalaxyl are analytically indistinguishable 

 via multiresidue methods.

NT = No tolerance level was set for that pesticide/commodity pair.

NR = Metabolite of carbaryl. Not regulated (not included in tolerance expression).

(V) = Residue was found where no tolerance was established by EPA. Following "V" are the number of occurrences.

AL = Number shown is an Action Level established by FDA. Under the Food Quality Protection Act, responsibility for

 establishing tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, action levels are used.

Pesticide Types:

F = Fungicide

H = Herbicide

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

S = Herbicide Safener

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is 

advised to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances

apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or 

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not. 

Appendix D. Page 3 of 3
Appendix E

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Milk 

Appendix E shows residue detections for all compounds tested in milk, including range of

values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in th

summary and Appendices apply to 2011 and not to the current year. There may 

instances where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an

effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

In 2011, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 743 milk samples. PDP detected

different residues (including metabolites), representing 4 pesticides, in the milk samples.

All residue detections were lower than the established tolerances.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including milk, have

been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no registered uses and are

not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

Appendix F

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Groundwater

Appendix F shows residue detections for all compounds tested in groundwater, including

range of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs) for each pair in parts

per trillion (ppt). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Human Heal

Benchmarks for Pesticides (HHBPs) are also shown.

In 2011, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 604 groundwater samples from 604

different collection sites, including 372 from school/daycare wells and 232 from private

residential wells. PDP detected 62 different residues (including metabolites), representi

49 pesticides, in the groundwater samples. Most of the detections were for herbicide

The samples with detectable residues came from 443 different sites.

The HHBP values were developed for compounds with no established EPA Maximum

Contaminant Levels (MCLs) or Health Advisory (HA) values for drinking water, enabling

citizens to better determine whether the detection of a pesticide in drinking water or source

waters for drinking water may indicate a potential health risk. The HHBP values can 

referenced at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/hhbp/.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including groundwater,

have been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no registered uses

and are not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

 = EPA HHBP values have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

 There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

^ = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

* = Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have separate registrations. Mefenoxam is also known as Metalaxyl-M, which is one

 of the spatial isomers comprising metalaxyl. The spatial isomers of metalaxyl are analytically indistinguishable 

 via multiresidue methods.

Pesticide Types:

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

Appendix G

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Drinking Water

Appendix G shows residue detections for all compounds tested in drinking water, including range

of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs). The U.S. Environmental Protecti

Agency (EPA) National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) Maximum Contaminant

Levels (MCLs) for drinking water, Health Advisory (HA) values for drinking water, Freshwater

Aquatic Organism (FAOs) Criteria for ambient water, and Human Health Benchmarks for

Pesticides (HHBPs) are also shown. Units for LODs, MCLs, HAs, FAOs, and HHBPs are shown

in parts per trillion (ppt).

In 2011, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 239 drinking water samples, including 119

finished drinking water samples and 120 untreated (raw intake) drinking water samples. P

detected 34 different residues (including metabolites), representing 26 pesticides, in finished

drinking water and 36 different residues (including metabolites), representing 28 pesticides, in the

untreated intake water; most of the detections were herbicides. None of the finished drinking wat

samples exceeded EPA MCLs, HAs, FAO criteria, or HHBP levels for any pesticide detected.

fact, the majority of pesticides included in the PDP screens were not detected.

The MCLs are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems. EPA’s regulations

for MCLs can be referenced at http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/index.cfm. The H

are an estimate of acceptable drinking water levels for a chemical substance based on health

effects information. The values published are for lifetime HA, which is the concentration of a

chemical in drinking water that is not expected to cause any adverse non-carcinogenic effects

for a lifetime of exposure. The MCL and HA values can be referenced at http://water.epa.gov/

drink/standardsriskmanagement.cfm. FAO criteria are set by EPA and are the concentration 

a chemical in water at or below which aquatic life are protected from acute and chronic adverse

effects of the chemical. The FAO values can be referenced at http://water.epa.gov/scitec

swguidance/ standards/criteria/current/index.cfm. Health Advisories and FAO criteria are n

legally enforceable Federal standards, but serve as technical guidance to assist Federal, State,

and local officials. The HHBP values were developed for compounds with no established MC

or HAs, enabling citizens to better determine whether the detection of a pesticide in drinking water

or source waters for drinking water may indicate a potential health risk. The HHBP values can 

referenced at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/hhbp/.

EPA MCL, HA, FAO, and HHBP values are expressed in parts per million (ppm). Because drinki

water residues are expressed in parts per trillion (ppt), EPA MCL, HA, FAO, and HHBP values

have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by

EPA.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including drinking water, have

been consolidated in a separate appendix because they have no registered uses and are not

applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

1

 = EPA MCL, HA, FAO, and HHBP values have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

 There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

2 = EPA Health Advisory values shown are for lifetime exposure.

3

 = The FAO value applies to ambient water rather than drinking water.

^

 = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

* = Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have separate registrations. Mefenoxam is also known as Metalaxyl-M, which is one of the spatial

 isomers comprising metalaxyl. The spatial isomers of metalaxyl are analytically indistinguishable via multiresidue methods.

Pesticide Types:

F = Fungicide

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

P = Plant Growth Regulator

Appendix G. Page 12 of 12
Appendix H

Distribution of Residues 

for Environmental Contaminants

Appendix H shows residue detections across all commodities for 19 compounds identified

as environmental contaminants, including range of values detected, range of Limits of

Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerances or Action

Levels for each pair. Results for environmental contaminants have been consolidated 

this appendix because they have no registered uses and are not applied to crops.

The EPA tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices apply to 2011 and not to the

current year. There may be instances where tolerances may have been recently set 

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

Action Levels (ALs) are shown in this appendix, where applicable, and denote Action

Level values established by FDA. Under the Food Quality Protection Act, responsibili

for establishing tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, 

are used.

Appendix I

Sample Origin by State or Country

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor)

Appendix I gives the number of fruit and vegetable, egg, and milk samples per State or

country of origin and the number of samples of unknown origin. Where available, t

origin of fresh commodities is taken from the grower or packer information. For process

commodities, origin is determined primarily by packer or distributor.

As shown in Appendix I, fruit and vegetable, egg, and milk samples originated from 39

States and 18 foreign countries. There were 434 samples from mixed national origi

(multiple countries). There were 359 domestic samples from unknown States. T

were an additional 83 samples from unknown origins. Overall, for all samples exc

soybeans, groundwater and drinking water, 72.7 percent were from U.S. sources, 22.8

percent were imports, 3.8 percent were of mixed national origin, and 0.7 percent were of

unknown origin.

Import vs. Domestic Pesticide Residue Comparisons

The Pesticide Data Program is designed to provide a comprehensive statistical picture

of pesticide residues in the U.S. food supply, representing all sources, including imports.

Most commodities consumed are generally produced in the United States with import

components that vary by commodity. However, several commodities tested over t

past several years were cyclical; that is, part of the year the commodity was produced

domestically and part of the year it was imported.

Appendix J compares residue data reported for samples originating in the United States

with those of the same commodity from major exporting countries. Residue data for sn

peas from the United States are compared with data for samples originating in Guatemala

for 2011. Residue data for domestic cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, and sweet bell peppe

are compared with data for samples originating in Mexico for 2011. Only residues detect

in more than 10 percent of all samples are included in each comparison. All pesticid

detected were registered in the United States. However, the profiles of residue findin

were markedly different in the United States samples versus samples from these exporting

countries. The differences in residue detections between countries were likely due to the

pesticides used in response to pest pressures based on differing environmental, climatic,

and growing conditions.

Appendix L

Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample

Appendix L shows the percentage of samples versus the number of pesticides detected

per sample, excluding groundwater and drinking water samples. The graph and data 

page 1 show the overall number of samples and percentages (of total number of samples

analyzed) for each detection group across all commodities. The table on page 2 sho

the number of pesticides detected by individual commodity. For the 11,894 samp

analyzed, 48.9 percent of the samples had no detectable pesticides, 19.0 percent had 1

pesticide, and 32.1 percent of the samples had more than 1 pesticide.

This appendix reports the number of distinct pesticides rather than residues. A pare

compound and its metabolites are reported as a single pesticide.

Appendix M

Fruit and Vegetable Samples Reported to the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration as

Exceeding the Tolerance

or Without Established Tolerance

(per Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180)

Appendix M shows pesticide residues reported to the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) as exceeding the tolerance or residues for which no established

tolerance was listed under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180. In 201

a total of 413 samples with 612 pesticides were reported to the FDA as Presumptive

Tolerance Violations.

	 Pesticides exceeding the tolerance were detected in 32 samples including 1

cabbage sample, 1 cantaloupe sample, 1 cherry tomato sample, 1 hot pepper sample, 3

frozen spinach samples, 3 samples of sweet bell peppers, and 22 snap pea samples. 

those 32 samples, 25 were reported as imported produce.

	 In addition, 399 samples were found to have pesticides for which no tolerance

was established, including 360 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 37 processed fruit/

vegetable samples, and 2 egg samples.

o	 270 samples contained 1 pesticide for which no tolerance was established.

o	 85 samples contained 2 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

o	 37 samples contained 3 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

o	 6 samples contained 4 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

o	 1 sample of snap peas contained 5 pesticides for which no tolerance was

established.

	 Eighteen of the 399 samples also contained 1 pesticide each that exceeded an

established tolerance.

	 The columns under the Sample Origin heading provide the number of samples that

were of domestic, imported, or unknown origin for each pesticide/commodity pair listed.

Appendix M also notes if metabolites (or isomers) were detected as part of the same

sample. In instances where both parent and metabolite (or isomer) were detected, the

Pesticide Data Program accounted for both as part of the same tolerance expression.

A number of the findings shown in this appendix are less than 0.01 ppm. Levels bel

0.01 ppm are deemed by the U.S. FDA to be “not of regulatory significance”.

NOTES

1 Metabolite of captafol and captan.

2 Analytically determined as the salt (hydrochloride).

3 Fenamiphos, hot peppers: One sample contained both the sulfone and sulfoxide metabolites.

4 Permethrin, hot peppers: One sample contained only the trans permethrin isomer and three samples contained both the cis 

and trans isomers of the parent compound. Permethrin, snap peas: Eight samples contained only the cis permethrin isomer, 

two samples contained only the trans permethrin isomer, and 27 samples contained both the cis and trans isomers.

5 Oxamyl, snap peas: Two samples contained only the parent, oxamyl, and one sample contained only the oxime metabolite.

6 Phorate, snap peas: One sample contained only the sulfoxide metabolite and two samples contained both the sulfone

and sulfoxide metabolites.

7 Includes parent, spiromesifan, plus the enol metabolite.

Note:

For those pesticide/commodity pairs where the minimum detected value is less than the limit of quantitation (three times

the limit of detection), the reported values are estimates. In a few cases, this may apply to the maximum detected value.
