Dear Reader: 

We are pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 22nd Annual Summary for calendar year 

2012. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) conducts this 

program each year to collect data on pesticide residues in food. This report shows that overall pesticide 

residues found in foods are at levels below the tolerances set by the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

The PDP provides reliable data that helps assure consumers that the produce they feed their families is 

safe. Over 99 percent of the products sampled through PDP had residues below the EPA tolerances. 

Ultimately, if EPA determines a pesticide is not safe for our families, it is removed from the market. This 

system of checks and balances provides Americans with the safest food supply in the world. 

The PDP tests a wide variety of domestic and imported foods using a sound statistical program and the 

most current laboratory methods. The EPA uses the PDP data when looking at dietary pesticide exposure, 

a critical step to verify that all sources of exposure to pesticides meet U.S. safety standards. 

The PDP is not designed for enforcement of EPA pesticide residue tolerances. However, we inform the 

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who is responsible for enforcing EPA tolerances, if residues 

detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. The PDP pesticide residue 

results are reported to FDA and EPA through monthly reports. In instances where a PDP finding is 

extraordinary and may pose a safety risk, FDA and EPA are immediately notified. 

In 2012, excluding water, residues exceeding the tolerance was detected in 0.53 percent (63 samples) of 

the total samples tested (11,893 samples). Residues with no established tolerance were found in 4.3 

percent (508 samples) of the total samples tested. However, these levels did not exceed tolerances levels 

established for other commodities for the pesticides detected. 

The PDP works with State agencies representing all regions of the country and more than half of the U.S. 

population. In 2012, samples were collected and analyzed in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

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

The data reported by PDP corroborate that residues found in agricultural products sampled are at levels 

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

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 

22nd Pesticide Data Program Summary presents 

results for samples collected in 2012.

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, 

processing, and storage, 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 were 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 had 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 2012, 

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 and selected 

processed commodities – apple juice, baby food 

(applesauce, carrots, peaches, and peas), butter, 

and orange juice. North Carolina collected four 

samples per month of each of these commodities 

for a total of 66 monthly samples. For seasonal 

commodities, sampling rates are adjusted to refl ect 

market availability. 

Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables accounted 

for 86.1 percent of the total 12,546 samples collected 

in 2012. Other samples collected included butter, 

6.3 percent; water, 5.2 percent; and wheat, 2.4 

percent. Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables 

tested during 2012 were: apple juice, avocados, 

baby food (applesauce, carrots, peaches, and peas), 

bananas, cantaloupe, caulifl ower, cherry tomatoes, 

mushrooms, onions, orange juice, papayas, plums, 

snap peas, summer squash, sweet bell peppers, 

tangerines, and winter squash. Domestic samples 

accounted for 60.7 percent of the samples while 36.6 

percent were imports, 2.2 percent were of mixed 

origin, and 0.5 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 2012 and are 

too numerous to be included in their entirety in 

this summary. The PDP database fi le for 2012 and 

annual summaries/database fi les for previous years 

are available on the PDP website 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 2012, excluding water, 

residues exceeding the tolerance were detected 

in 0.53 percent (63 samples) of the total samples 

tested (11,893 samples). Of these 63 samples, 

54 were imported from farms outside of the U.S. 

(86 percent) and 9 were domestic (14 percent). 

Residues with no established tolerance were found 

in 4.3 percent (508 samples) of the total samples 

tested. Of these 508 samples, 392 were imported 

(77 percent) and 116 were domestic (23 percent). 

Appendices B through F 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 G. More 

information on results is provided in the Sample 

Results and Discussion section of this summary.

In 2012, 485 (treated and untreated) drinking water 

samples were collected at water treatment facilities 

in 10 States and a total of 168 groundwater 

samples were collected from private domestic 

wells, school/childcare facilities, and municipal 

water facilities drawing from groundwater. 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 2012, no 

detections in treated water or groundwater 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 2012

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 also are 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 2012, 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 13 individual sites in 10 States. 

A voluntary groundwater survey was continued in 

2012 with homeowners, school/childcare facilities, 

and municipal water facilities at 166 sites in 15 

States, plus Washington, D.C.

Laboratory services were provided by the States 

of California, 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 

and FDA to select commodities and pesticides 

for testing and with EPA 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 two 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 one full year. 

Appendix A provides a list of commodities tested 

by PDP from the beginning of the program in 1991 

through 2013.

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 

2012, over 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.

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with 

current registered uses and compounds for which

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, North 

Carolina, analyzes meat, poultry, honey, and dairy products and the Federal GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, Missouri, 

analyzes whole and processed grain products.

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 

tests 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), wheat (Appendix 

C), butter (Appendix D), potable groundwater 

(Appendix E), and municipal drinking water 

(Appendix F). Environmental contaminants are 

consolidated into Appendix G, 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 2012, fruit, vegetables, and butter 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 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 2012, 31.2 percent of fruit, vegetable, and 

butter samples were collected at proxy sites. The 

commodities most often collected at these facilities 

were apple juice, baby foods (applesauce, carrots, 

peaches, and peas), butter, and orange juice. 

Wheat samples were collected from trains, trucks, 

ships, 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, and butter 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 2012 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 heavyduty, temperature-controlled containers. Holding 

temperatures are preserved throughout transit time 

with the inclusion of ample frozen cold packs and 

insulating materials. Non-temperature-sensitive 

samples do not require temperature-controlled 

containers; however, they are shipped in heavy-duty, 

well-cushioned containers. To preserve sample 

integrity, most samples are shipped the same day as 

collection by overnight delivery. Non-refrigerated 

processed commodities such as apple juice and baby 

foods (applesauce, carrots, peaches, and peas) are 

often shipped by ground transportation to reduce 

shipping costs. Grain samples are collected in 

pesticide-free 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.

Table 1. PDP Commodity Collection Schedule for 2012. 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 2013).

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 2012, over 600 sites 

granted access to sample collectors. The States 

provide AMS and NASS with annual volume 

information for commodities distributed at the 

sites. 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 probabilityproportionate-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 -- apple juice, baby foods 

(applesauce, carrots, peaches, and peas), butter, 

and orange juice. 

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 snap peas, tangerines, 

and winter squash. Fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetable, and butter samples originated from 39 

States and 25 foreign countries (refer to Appendix 

H). Wheat, groundwater, and drinking water 

samples are excluded from Appendix H because 

they rely on differential sampling frames. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2012, 

86.1 percent (10,801 of 12,546) were fruit and 

vegetables, including fresh and processed products. 

The fresh commodities collected for PDP were 

avocado, bananas, cantaloupe, caulifl ower, cherry/

grape tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, papayas, 

plums, snap peas, summer squash, sweet bell

peppers, tangerines, and winter squash. The 

processed commodities included apple juice, baby 

food (applesauce, carrots, peaches, peas), and 

orange juice (ready-to-serve and concentrate). All 

fresh fruit and vegetable samples weighed either 

3 or 5 pounds with the exception of 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 bananas and 

winter squash. For processed samples, apple juice 

and orange juice samples were 1 quart or 32 ounces.

♦ Baby Food

In 2012, PDP tested four types of baby food – 

applesauce, carrots, peaches, and peas. 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. The following number of 

samples were collected for each type of baby food: 

applesauce – 396 samples; carrots – 792 samples; 

peaches – 777 samples; and peas – 395 samples.

♦ Wheat 

USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) 

inspectors collected 300 wheat samples in July, 

August, and September 2012. 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 barges/

ships (48 percent of samples), railcars/hopper cars 

(43 percent of samples), and trucks (4 percent of 

samples). Wheat slated for export was excluded 

from the sampling scheme. PDP chain-of-custody 

procedures are similar to those used for fruit 

and vegetable samples. Sample information for 

wheat included: inspection location, inspection 

point code, fi eld offi ce location, offi cial agency 

collecting the sample, carrier identifi cation 

(barge/ship, railcar/hopper car, truck), 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. Wheat samples originated from 24 

States and were collected through 5 regional 

GIPSA offi ces. There were no imported wheat 

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. 

♦ Butter

In 2012, PDP collected and analyzed 792 butter 

samples. Samples were collected from routine PDP 

sampling sites, which included major distribution 

centers and terminal markets. The sample size for 

butter was one pound. Analysis was performed 

by the New York laboratory. Results for butter are 

shown in Appendix D.

♦ 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, 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 168 samples from 166 sites were collected 

and tested for the 2012 groundwater program. 

These included 30 private residence wells in 9 States 

(Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, 

New York, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin) 

and 2 in Washington, D.C. Additionally, one site in 

Virginia, a stream near a golf course, was sampled 

at three locations to study the concentrations of 

chemicals used on golf courses. Also included 

were 111 public utilities drawing from groundwater 

in 7 States (Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New 

Mexico, New York, Ohio, and Virginia) and 23 

school/childcare facilities in 2 States (Oregon and 

Pennsylvania).

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 

2012 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 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

12

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 partper-trillion 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.

For 2012, EPA’s Environmental Fate and Effects 

Division (EFED) requested that PDP target public 

utilities drawing from surface water sources 

in watersheds where N-methyl carbamate and 

organophosphate insecticides were being used. 

PDP partnered with EFED and the U.S. Geological 

Survey (USGS) and identifi ed these watersheds using 

Geological Information System layers of watershed 

boundaries and pesticide use for the pesticides of 

interest. 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 2012 PDP testing program. Two 

hundred fi fty-three (253) untreated and 232 fi nished 

drinking water samples were collected from 13 

community water systems in 10 States – California 

(2 sites), Florida (1 site), Kentucky (1 site), 

Louisiana (1 site), Missouri (1 site), New Jersey 

(1 site), North Carolina (2 sites), North Dakota 

(2 sites), Pennsylvania (1 site), and Virginia (1 

site). The sites in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia 

were sampled only once for surveillance purposes, 

checking for carbamate and organophosphate 

detections.

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.

III. Laboratory Operations 

♦ Overview

Eleven laboratories (9 State and 2 Federal) 

performed analyses for PDP. These laboratories 

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

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities

Fruit and vegetable samples were tested for 334 

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 

bananas, 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; bananas and tangerines were peeled; 

avocados were peeled and pitted, etc. Processed 

commodities were not washed or cooked prior to 

homogenization and were homogenized with all 

liquid that was present in the sample package. 

Apple and orange juice concentrates were 

reconstituted according to package directions 

while ready-to-serve apple juice and orange juice 

were 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 website 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, 

Texas, Washington, and AMS NSL laboratories 

used various Quick, Easy, Cheap, Rugged and Safe 

(QuEChERS1

)-based approaches. 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 2012, PDP laboratories analyzed baby food 

applesauce (396 samples), baby food carrots (792 

samples), baby food peaches (777 samples), and 

baby food peas (395 samples) for a total of 310 

parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or 

isomers, plus 16 environmental contaminants. The 

baby food applesauce samples were analyzed by 

the Florida laboratory and baby food carrots were 

analyzed by the Ohio laboratory. Baby food peaches 

were analyzed by the California and Michigan 

laboratories, while baby food peas were analyzed by 

the Texas laboratory. Multiple containers of a given

sample (of the same lot number) were combined, 

homogenized, and extracted using a modifi cation of 

the QuEChERS method. Analyses were performed 

utilizing GC-micro electron capture detector, GCmass selective detector (MSD), GC-MS/MS, and 

LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Wheat

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, MO, 

analyzed 300 wheat samples for 51 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers. Wheat 

samples were stored at room temperature until 

time of grinding. Wheat samples were extracted an 

acetonitrile-water solvent using followed by SPE 

cleanup and analyzed by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/

MS.

♦ Butter

The PDP New York laboratory tested 792 butter 

samples for 157 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, plus 14 environmental 

contaminants. Upon arrival at the testing facility, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

and discarded if warm to the touch, rancid, or leaking. 

Samples were extracted using a modifi cation of the 

QuEChERS method and analyzed using GC-MS/

MS and LC-MS/MS.

♦ Potable Groundwater from Domestic, School/

Childcare Facility, and Municipal Wells

In 2012, PDP conducted three groundwater testing 

studies: one for private domestic wells, one for 

school/childcare facilities, and one for municipal 

water facilities drawing from groundwater. 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 nontransient, 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, are detected 

more often than parent compounds. 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 are scarce.

The Minnesota and Montana laboratories analyzed 

groundwater samples for 201 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus 8 

environmental contaminants. 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 Montana and Minnesota laboratories 

analyzed drinking water for 201 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus 8 

environmental contaminants. These compounds 

were determined to be of interest to EPA based on 

data needs for risk assessment as required under 

FQPA. Samples were collected at water treatment 

facilities. Each sample consisted of two 1-liter 

amber glass bottles of treated water and two 1-liter 

amber glass bottles of raw untreated water. 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 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

analysis and the other for compounds amenable to 

LC-MS/MS analysis. The extraction methods used 

were initially based on SPE methods developed by 

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 Standardization2

(ISO 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 dayto-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 assigned to each 

laboratory that is 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, baby food, wheat, and butter, 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.

• 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, 

 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.

18

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 2012, PDP laboratories 

quantitated a total of 82,467 matrix spikes, with an 

overall mean recovery of 96 percent and an overall 

25 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 2012, PDP laboratories quantitated 

a total of 32,568 process controls on 12,546 samples, 

with an overall mean recovery of 97 percent and an 

overall 20 % C.V. Of these process controls, 110 

(0.3 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 

an international PT program, the Food Analysis 

Performance Assessment Scheme (FAPAS) 

PT program, administered by the Food and 

Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York, 

United Kingdom. In 2012, PDP laboratories that 

routinely analyze fruit and vegetables via MRMs 

participated in two FAPAS rounds – one for potatoes 

that contained seven fortifi ed analytes and one for 

tomatoes that contained eight fortifi ed analytes. 

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. For this internal 

program, the California Department of Food and 

Agriculture 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 2012, PDP laboratories received:

Three multiresidue fruit and vegetable PT rounds 

(cherry/grape tomatoes, snap peas, and tangerines), 

each consisting of three test samples. The cherry/

grape tomatoes were fortifi ed with 12 compounds, 

the snap peas with 13 compounds, and the tangerines 

with 14 compounds.

For water, 2 profi ciency sample sets were analyzed 

during 2012, with 10 compounds fortifi ed in each 

round. Custom-designed 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 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

19

chemists perform onsite reviews of laboratory 

operations to determine compliance specifi cally with 

PDP SOPs. Improvements in sampling, chain-ofcustody, 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 

PDP database is limited to MPD personnel only 

and is controlled through password protection and 

user access rights.

♦ 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 website. The data fi les on the website 

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

samples collected and analyzed, 10,801 were fresh 

and processed fruit and vegetable commodities, 300 

were wheat samples (collected from July through 

September 2012), 792 were butter samples, 168 were 

groundwater samples, and 485 were drinking water 

samples. Appendix B tabulates the distribution of 

residues in fruit and vegetables for the complete 

2012 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, and F, provide the distribution 

of residues for wheat, butter, groundwater, and 

treated and untreated drinking water, respectively. 

Appendix G 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 and 

butter, 60.7 percent of all samples were produced 

in the United States, 36.6 percent were imports, 

2.2 percent were of mixed origin, and 0.5 percent 

were of unknown origin. Appendix H shows the 

distribution of sample origin by State or country. Of 

all fresh and processed fruit and vegetables and butter 

samples collected and analyzed, approximately 19.8 

percent (2,300 of 11,593) were grown, packed, and/

or distributed in or from California. Wheat and 

groundwater and drinking water are excluded from 

Appendix H 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). Wheat is collected 

from barges/ships, railcars/hopper cars, and trucks. 

Treated and untreated drinking water samples are 

collected from community water treatment facilities. 

Groundwater samples are collected from private 

domestic wells, school/childcare facilities, and 

municipal water facilities drawing from groundwater. 

Appendix I 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.

♦ 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, G, J, K, and L.

♦ 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 2012. The data generated by PDP 

refl ect pesticide residues in foods, both domestic 

and imported products, available to the U.S. 

consumer. Many fresh and processed commodities 

are almost entirely of domestic origin, such as 

baby food applesauce (94.4 percent), baby food 

carrots (98.4 percent), baby food peas (98.7 

percent), caulifl ower (98.2 percent), onions (89.4 

percent), and mushrooms (86.3 percent) with 

only minor import (4.8 percent, 0.3 percent, 

0 percent, 1.5 percent, 10.0 percent, and 13.4 

percent, respectively) and unknown origins (0.8 

percent, 1.3 percent, 1.3 percent, 0.3 percent, 0.6 

percent, and 0.3 percent, respectively). Other fresh

commodities, such as snap peas, tangerines, and 

winter squash, 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 cherry tomatoes, winter 

squash, plums, tangerines, and snap peas can be 

found in Appendix I. 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 cherry tomato data in Appendix I illustrate that 

in 2012 fl onicamid and myclobutanil were detected 

more frequently in imported samples than in 

domestic samples. Flonicamid was detected in 25.3 

percent of the samples from Mexico and 2.8 percent 

of the U.S. samples and myclobutanil was detected 

in 23.6 percent of the Mexican samples and in 1.7 

percent of the domestic samples. Bifenthrin and 

chlorantraniliprole were detected more frequently 

in domestic samples than in imports. Bifenthrin was 

detected in 35.9 percent of U.S. samples and 14.4 

percent of Mexican samples and chlorantraniliprole 

was detected in 29.9 percent of U.S. samples and 

7.3 percent of samples from Mexico. Boscalid, 

clothianidin, and mandipropamid were detected 

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

Mexican cherry tomatoes.

For winter squash, endosulfan sulfate was detected 

more frequently in imported samples than in 

domestic samples. Endosulfan sulfate was detected 

in 27.9 percent of the samples from Mexico and 

15.8 percent of the U.S. samples. Propamocarb 

hydrochloride was detected more frequently in U.S. 

samples than in Mexican samples – propamocarb 

hydrochloride was detected in 16.1 percent of 

U.S. samples and 4.9 percent of Mexican samples. 

Bifenthrin and imidacloprid were detected with 

relatively equal frequency in both the U.S. and 

Mexican winter squash. 

The plum data in Appendix I illustrate that in 2012 

iprodione was detected more often in imported 

samples – iprodione was detected in 93.2 percent 

of plums imported from Chile and 1.9 percent 

of U.S. product. Fludioxonil was detected more 

frequently in domestic plums – 81.6 percent of U.S. 

plums contained detectable residues of fl udioxonil, 

compared to 13.6 percent of Chilean plums.

For tangerines, pyrimethanil was detected more 

often in imported samples – pyrimethanil was 

detected in 11.5 percent of Chilean tangerines and 

0.5 percent of domestic tangerines. Thiabendazole 

was detected more frequently in domestic 

tangerines – 78.0 percent of U.S. tangerines 

contained detectable residues of thiabendazole, 

compared to 50.0 percent of tangerines imported 

from Chile.

The snap pea data in Appendix I illustrate that in 

2012 azoxystrobin, carbendazim, cyhalothrin, 

difenoconazole, dimethoate, omethoate, tebuconazole, and tetrahydrophthalimide were detected 

more frequently in imported samples than in 

domestic samples. For example, carbendazim 

was detected in 40.0 percent of the samples from 

Guatemala and 2.8 percent of the U.S. samples. 

Dimethoate was detected in 38.8 percent of the 

samples from Guatemala and 17.3 percent of the 

U.S. samples.

All pesticides detected, except carbendazim, 

difenoconazole, and tebuconazole 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 growth regulators/sprouting inhibitors (e.g., 

chlorpropham). Some detections reported in

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 growth of pest populations, 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 fi ve percent of samples tested are shown in 

Appendix J. 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 2012 is 

presented in Appendix K. These data indicate 

that 47.4 percent of all samples tested, excluding 

groundwater and treated and untreated drinking 

water, contained no detectable pesticides, 23.6 

percent contained 1 pesticide, and 29.0 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 G, have been excluded from this count 

of pesticides. 

One sample each of cherry tomatoes and snap peas 

contained residues of thirteen pesticides at very 

low levels. The cherry tomatoes were from Mexico 

and the snap peas were from Guatemala. All 13 

residues found in the cherry tomatoes sample were 

within tolerances. Four of the 13 residues detected 

in snap peas – carbendazim, difenoconazole, 

profenofos, and tebuconazole – had no tolerance 

established and one, tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI, 

a breakdown product of the pesticide captan) 

exceeded the established tolerance for captan. 

Multiple residue detections can result from the 

application of more than one pesticide on a crop 

during a growing season; in addition, a number of 

other factors can contribute to multiple detections. 

For example, 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 or growth regulators 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

Wheat: The USDA GIPSA laboratory conducted 

testing on 300 wheat samples using a multiresidue 

method. Appendix C shows that four different 

residues, representing four pesticides, were detected 

in the wheat samples. The most frequently detected 

residue was deltamethrin which was detected 

in 38 samples (12.7 percent). Azoxystrobin was 

detected in 20 samples (6.7 percent), boscalid in 5 

samples (1.7 percent), and metconazole in 1 sample 

(0.3 percent). All residue detections determined 

by the multiresidue method were lower than the 

established tolerances.

Butter: The New York laboratory conducted 

testing for pesticide residues on 792 butter samples. 

Overall, 16 different residues (including metabolites 

and isomers), representing 15 pesticides, were 

detected in the butter samples. Trans permethrin 

was detected in 216 samples (27.3 percent), 

bifenthrin was detected in 203 samples (25.6 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

24

percent), and cis permethrin in 201 samples (25.4 

percent). Cyhalothrin was detected in 156 samples 

(19.7 percent), spinosad was detected in 31 samples 

(3.9 percent), and piperonyl butoxide in 19 samples 

(2.4 percent). Chlorpyrifos and propargite were 

detected in less than one percent of the samples, and 

chlorpropham, cyfl uthrin, cypermethrin, dichlorvos, 

dicofol p,p’, endosulfan II, imidacloprid, and 

thiabendazole were each detected in one sample 

(0.1 percent). All residue detections were lower 

than the established tolerances, where tolerances 

were established.

♦ Potable Groundwater

In 2012, 32 groundwater samples were collected 

from private domestic wells, 23 from school/

childcare facilities, and 111 from municipal water 

facilities drawing from groundwater. Overall, 

PDP detected 51 different residues (including 

metabolites), representing 40 pesticides, in the 

groundwater samples. Most of the detections were 

for herbicides or their metabolites. The samples 

with detectable residues came from 98 different 

sites. Residue profi les are shown in Appendix E. 

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

Health Benchmarks for Pesticides (HHBPs)” at 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/hhbp. 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 2012, 

none of the groundwater data exceeded any of the 

EPA HHBPs.

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

PDP analyzed 485 water samples (253 untreated 

samples and 232 fi nished samples) from community 

water systems. Appendix F shows the concentration 

of detected residues in treated and untreated water. 

Fifty-nine different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 48 pesticides, were detected in the 

fi nished drinking water and 74 different residues 

(including metabolites), representing 61 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 F also lists the MCLs, HA values, Fresh 

Aquatic Organism (FAO) criteria and EPA’s new 

HHBPs. During 2012, 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 human-based 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 2012, 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 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

25

for environmental contaminants may be found in 

Appendix G.

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 in butter 

(78.5 percent), summer squash (3.8 percent), and 

winter squash (2.3 percent). DDT p,p’ was detected 

in two winter squash samples (0.3 percent) and DDT 

o,p’ was detected in 1 butter sample (0.1 percent). 

No residues of DDD o,p’ or DDD p,p’ were detected. 

All residues detected were lower than established 

FDA Action Levels (ALs). Drinking water (treated 

or untreated) and 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 (total, cis, trans); and 

hexachlorobenzene (HCB). HCB was used as a seed 

protectant until 1965 and, 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 6.3 percent 

of winter squash samples, 0.8 percent of cantaloupe 

samples, 0.5 percent of summer squash samples, 

and 0.1 percent of butter samples. Chlordane (cis) 

and chlordane (trans) were detected in 3.4 percent 

and 1.6 percent of winter squash samples and in 1.1 

percent and 0.5 percent of summer squash samples. 

Heptachlor epoxide was detected in 1.2 percent of 

winter squash samples. For these cases, the detected 

levels were lower than the FDA ALs. 

Endrin was detected in 0.8 percent of winter squash 

samples and in 0.5 percent of summer squash 

samples. Endrin also was detected in six samples 

of snap peas (0.8 percent); one of these samples 

contained 0.06 ppm of endrin, which exceeded the 

established AL of 0.03 ppm for snap peas. Drinking 

water (treated or untreated) and groundwater samples 

were not tested for these other extraneous pesticides.

♦ 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 certain 

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 identifying 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 and 

EPA are immediately notifi ed.

Residues exceeding the established tolerance are 

noted with an “X” in Appendices B, C, and D. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2012

26

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 2012 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 L 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 549 samples with 829 

pesticides were reported to FDA as Presumptive 

Tolerance Violations. Pesticides exceeding 

the tolerance were detected in 0.53 percent (63 

samples) of the total samples tested (11,893 

samples). Of these 63 samples, 54 were imported 

(86 percent) and 9 were domestic (14 percent). 

The samples containing pesticides that exceeded 

established tolerances included: 24 cherry tomato 

samples, 32 snap pea samples, 2 summer squash 

samples, 1 sweet bell pepper sample, and 4 winter 

squash samples.

Residues with no established tolerance were 

found in 4.3 percent (508 samples) of the total 

samples tested (11,893 samples). Of these 508 

samples, 392 were imported (77 percent) and 

116 were domestic (23 percent). These samples 

included 472 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 

33 processed fruit/vegetable samples, and 3 butter 

samples. The 33 processed fruit/vegetable samples 

were baby food applesauce, baby food peaches, 

and orange juice. There were 336 samples that 

contained 1 pesticide for which no tolerance was 

established, 108 samples with 2 pesticides for 

which no tolerance was established, 43 samples 

with 3 pesticides for which no tolerance was 

established, 20 samples with 4 pesticides for 

which no tolerance was established, and 1 sample 

of snap peas that contained 5 pesticides for which 

no tolerance was established. Twenty-two of the 

508 samples also contained 1 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 or 

growth regulators applied to other commodities 

stored in the same storage facilities. The pesticide 

levels and commodities are listed in Appendix L.

 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 tolerances cited 

in this summary and Appendices apply to 2012 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 or not.

In 2012, 10,801 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 7,715 were fresh product 

and 3,086 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 in 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 cases, 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 G).

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 = Exempt from the requirement of a tolerance in or on all food commodities.

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 cauliflower as a possible result of an acephate application.

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

4 Specific tolerances for parathion methyl and its oxygen analog metabolite have been revoked since December 31, 1999, but 

are subject to a channels of trade provision per Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180.121.

5 Propamocarb 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

pages 1 and 2 in Appendix L 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 3 through 4 in Appendix L 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 2012 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 Wheat

Appendix C shows residue detections for all compounds tested in wheat, 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 summary and Appendices apply 

to 2012 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 or not. 

In 2012, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 300 wheat samples. PDP detected 4 different 

pesticides in the wheat samples. All residue detections were lower than the established tolerances.

Appendix D

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Butter 

Appendix D shows residue detections for all compounds tested in butter, 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 summary 

and Appendices apply to 2012 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 or not. 

In 2012, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 792 butter samples. PDP detected 16 

different residues (including metabolites), representing 15 pesticides, in the butter samples. 

All residue detections were lower than the established tolerances. 

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including butter, have been 

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

applied to crops (see Appendix G).

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.

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.

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

 Refer to pages 3 through 4 in Appendix L to see the number of occurrences broken down by sample origin

 (domestic, imported, or unknown) for a commodity/pesticide 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

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

L = Plant Activator

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 2012 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 4 of 4
Appendix E

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Groundwater

Appendix E 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 Health Benchmarks 

for Pesticides (HHBPs) are also shown.

In 2012, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 168 groundwater samples from 166 

different collection sites, including 23 from school/daycare wells, 32 from private residential 

wells, and 111 from municipal water facilities that draw from groundwater sources. PDP 

detected 51 different residues (including metabolites), representing 40 pesticides, in the 

groundwater samples. Most of the detections were for herbicides. The samples with 

detectable residues came from 98 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 be 

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 G).

 = 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.

Appendix F

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Drinking Water

Appendix F 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 Protection 

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 2012, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 485 drinking water samples, including 232 

fi nished drinking water samples and 253 untreated (raw intake) drinking water samples. PDP 

detected 59 different residues (including metabolites), representing 48 pesticides, in fi nished 

drinking water and 74 different residues (including metabolites), representing 61 pesticides, 

in the untreated intake water; most of the detections were herbicides. None of the fi nished 

drinking water samples exceeded EPA MCLs, HAs, FAO criteria, or HHBP levels for any pesticide 

detected. In 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 HAs 

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 of 

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/scitech/

swguidance/standards/criteria/current/index.cfm. Health Advisories and FAO criteria are not 

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

and local offi cials. The HHBP values were developed for compounds with no established MCLs 

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

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

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 G).

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, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

T = Nematicide

Appendix F. Page 11 of 11
Appendix G

Distribution of Residues 

for Environmental Contaminants

Appendix G shows residue detections across all commodities for 18 compounds identifi ed 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 in 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 2012 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 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, responsibility for 

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

used.

Appendix H

Sample Origin by State or Country

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor)

Appendix H gives the number of fruit and vegetable and butter samples per State or country 

of origin and the number of samples of unknown origin. Where available, the origin of fresh 

commodities is taken from the grower or packer information. For processed commodities, 

origin is determined primarily by packer or distributor.

As shown in Appendix H, fruit and vegetable and butter samples originated from 39 States 

and 25 foreign countries. There were 250 samples from mixed national origins (multiple 

countries). There were 352 domestic samples from unknown states. There were an additional 

63 samples from unknown origins. Overall, for all samples excluding wheat, groundwater 

and drinking water, 60.7 percent were from U.S. sources, 36.6 percent were imports, 2.2 

percent were of mixed national origin, and 0.5 percent were of unknown origin.

Appendix I

Import vs. Domestic Pesticide Residue Comparisons

PDP 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 the 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 I compares residue data reported for samples originating in the United States with 

those of the same commodity from major exporting countries in 2012. Residue data for 

domestic cherry tomatoes and winter squash are compared with data for samples originating 

in Mexico. Residue data for domestic plums and tangerines are compared with data for 

samples originating in Chile. Residue data for domestic snap peas are compared with data 

for samples originating in Guatemala. Only residues detected in more than 10 percent of 

all samples are included in each comparison. All pesticides detected were registered in the 

United States. However, the profi les of residue fi ndings 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 J

Pesticide Residues by Commodity

(Pairs with Residue Detections in at Least 5 Percent of Samples)

Appendix J shows 130 commodity/pesticide pairs (including metabolites, isomers, and 

degradates) with detections in at least 5 percent of the samples tested. The data shown 

include the range and mean of values detected and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in this summary and 

Appendices apply to 2012 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 or not.

Appendix K

Samples vs. Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample

Appendix K shows the percentage of samples versus the number of pesticides detected per 

sample, excluding groundwater and drinking water samples. The graph and data on 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 shows the number of 

pesticides detected by individual commodity. For the 11,893 samples analyzed, 47.4 percent 

of the samples had no detectable pesticides, 23.6 percent had 1 pesticide, and 29 percent of 

the samples had more than 1 pesticide. 

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

compound and its metabolites are reported as a single pesticide.

NOTES

1 Environmental contaminants, listed in Appendix G, have been excluded from the count of pesticides detected in this appendix. Parent

compounds and their metabolites are combined to report the number of "pesticides" rather than the number of "residues." 

2 Excludes the 168 groundwater and 485 drinking water samples.

 Appendix L

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 L 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 2012, a total of 549 samples 

with 829 pesticides were reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations.

 Pesticides exceeding the tolerance were detected in 63 samples including 24 cherry 

tomato samples, 32 snap pea samples, 2 samples of summer squash, 1 sample of sweet 

bell peppers, and 4 samples of winter squash. Of those 63 samples, 54 were reported as 

imported produce.

 In addition, 508 samples were found to have pesticides for which no tolerance was 

established, including 472 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 33 processed fruit/vegetable 

samples, and 3 butter samples.

o 336 samples contained 1 pesticide for which no tolerance was established.

o 108 samples contained 2 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

o 43 samples contained 3 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

o 20 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.

 Twenty-two of the 508 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 L 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 fi ndings shown in this appendix are less than 0.01 ppm. Levels below 0.01 

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

NOTES

AL 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.

1 Metabolite of captafol and captan.

2 o-Phenylphenol is a fungicide with a number of crop tolerances. It is also an ingredient in many cleaning products and is

used in the paper manufacturing process. Residues of o-Phenylphenol may be the result of direct use, transfer across

commodities, or may originate from various paper and cleaning products.

3 Six samples contained only the cis permethrin isomer, no samples contained only the trans permethrin isomer,

and 15 samples contained both the cis and trans isomers.

4 Propamocarb analytically determined as the salt (hydrochloride).

5 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.
