To the Reader: 

I am pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 16th Annual Summary, 

that includes data from calendar year 2006. PDP data continue to demonstrate that 

the Nation’s food supply is among the safest in the world. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture implemented PDP in May 1991. Since then, 

PDP has tested a wide range of commodities in the U.S. food supply. Using a 

rigorous statistical approach to sampling and the most current laboratory methods, 

PDP has tested fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, grains and grain products, 

nuts (almonds initiated in 2007), milk and dairy products, beef, pork, poultry, 

drinking water, bottled water, and groundwater for pesticide residues. 

PDP data are essential for the implementation of the 1996 Food Quality Protection 

Act, that directs the Secretary of Agriculture to collect pesticide residue data on 

foods that are highly consumed by infants and children. The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) uses PDP data as a critical component for dietary 

assessments of pesticide exposure. The extensive and reliable PDP results provide 

realistic exposure information to the EPA assessment process. 

PDP is a partnership with cooperating State agencies that are responsible for 

sample collection and analysis. Twelve States participated in the program during 

2006: California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, 

New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Sound conclusions about the 

U.S. food supply can be drawn from PDP results because together the sampling 

States represent all regions of the country and over half of the Nation’s population. 

The format of this Annual Summary is intended to provide the reader with thorough 

and accurate information. A detachable form is included following this letter for 

your comments and suggestions on how we can further improve this summary. 

Sincerely,

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

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. This 16th

summary presents results for samples collected 

in 2006. 

Program Operations: AMS, through its 

Monitoring Programs Office (MPO), oversees 

the planning and policy development for PDP. 

MPO meets regularly with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other 

stakeholders (e.g., industry and grower groups) 

to establish program priorities and direction. 

Participating States have a prominent role in 

program planning activities and policy establishment, particularly policies relating to 

Quality Assurance (QA). The USDA National 

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) provides 

sampling support to PDP and statistically 

reliable data on chemical usage at the State 

level and collects economic data that link 

chemical usage with economic characteristics. 

Data Uses: PDP data are used primarily by 

EPA to prepare realistic pesticide dietary 

exposures and continue pesticide re-registration 

activities in accordance with the 1996 Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA). PDP provides 

high-quality data on residues in food, 

particularly foods most likely consumed by 

infants and children, including minor crops. 

Minor crops are those grown on 300,000 acres 

or less in the U.S. – for example, many fruit 

and vegetable crops are defined as minor crops. 

PDP data are also used by the U.S. Food and 

Drug Administration (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. PDP 

data are used by the U.S. Government and the 

agricultural community to examine pesticide 

residue issues affecting agricultural practices, 

integrated pest management and U.S. trade, 

particularly in the competitive global market. 

PDP additionally provides support for USDA’s 

participation in the Codex Alimentarius 

Commission. 

Risk Assessment: In estimating the potential 

risks of consumption of pesticide residues from 

food, EPA uses a step-wise tiered approach. As a 

first step, EPA may use a conservative, worstcase scenario and assume that a pesticide is 

applied to the fullest extent permitted by the 

pesticide label; that is, on every acre of each 

approved crop at the maximum rate and 

frequency allowed. EPA may also assume that 

residues on treated crops are present at the 

maximum allowable level. Exposure estimates 

based on such assumptions are likely to 

significantly exceed actual exposure. When an 

initial assessment indicates a potential risk, EPA 

refines its assessment using more realistic 

exposure data. Refinements may include the use 

of additional data such as: (1) the percent of a 

crop treated with a pesticide; (2) studies of the 

effects of washing, cooking, processing, and 

storage; and (3) residue monitoring data. During 

the refinements of this exposure assessment, 

PDP data can be pivotal. PDP sampling 

procedures were designed to capture residues in 

the food supply as close as possible to the time 

of consumption. PDP concentrates its efforts to 

provide realistic pesticide residue data on foods 

that are most often consumed by infants and 

children and incorporates recommendations 

made in 1993 by the National Academy of 

Sciences (NAS) in its report “Pesticides in the 

Diets of Infants and Children.” 

Participants: In 2006, sampling and/or testing 

program operations were carried out with the 

support of 12 States: California, Colorado, 

Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, 

Montana, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, 

and Wisconsin. Grain sampling was performed 

by USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers, and 

Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) and poultry

sampling by USDA’s Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS). Two Federal 

laboratories also provided testing services: 

USDA’s AMS National Science Laboratory and 

USDA’s GIPSA Laboratory. Participating water 

utilities provided drinking water samples which 

were tested by the Colorado, Montana, and New 

York State laboratories. Bottled water samples 

were collected at food distribution centers and 

tested by the Minnesota laboratory. MPO is 

responsible for administering the program, 

coordinating sampling activities, directing technical performance issues and quality assurance 

measures, and managing database activities. 

Sampling: PDP commodity sampling is based 

on a rigorous statistical design which ensures 

that the data are reliable for use in exposure 

assessments and that they can be used to draw 

various conclusions about the Nation’s food 

supply. Pesticides and commodities included 

each year in PDP are selected based on EPA 

data needs and on information about the types 

and amounts of food consumed by infants and 

children. Fruit and vegetable, peanut butter, and 

bottled water samples collected by each of the 

10 sampling States (California, Colorado, 

Florida, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, 

Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin) are 

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 farmgate) and reflect what 

is typically available to the consumer throughout the year. Samples are selected without 

regard to country of origin, variety, or organic 

labeling. The monthly sampling rate is 62 

samples per commodity, except for highly 

seasonal commodities. For seasonal commodities, sampling rates are adjusted to reflect 

market availability. Sampling rates for grain 

and meat are based on production. 

Results: During 2006, PDP tested fresh and 

processed fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, 

wheat grain, poultry, bottled water, and treated 

(finished) and untreated drinking water for 

various insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and 

growth regulators. Of the 13,658 total samples 

collected and analyzed, 9,818 were fruit and 

vegetable commodities including applesauce, 

bananas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cranberries, eggplant, grapefruit, greens (collard/

kale), orange juice, peaches, fresh and dried 

plums (prunes), frozen potatoes, raisins, spinach, 

summer squash, frozen sweet peas, watermelon, 

and winter squash. PDP also tested 739 peanut 

butter, 687 wheat grain, 1,310 poultry (paired 

breast/thigh samples), 367 bottled water, and 

737 treated (finished) and untreated drinking 

water samples. 

Excluding drinking water samples, which were 

all from U.S. sources, approximately 80 percent 

of all samples tested were from U.S. sources, 18 

percent were imports, 1 percent were of mixed 

origin, and 1 percent were of unknown origin. 

Approximately 32 percent of the orange juice 

samples were of mixed national origin. 

Overall, 64 percent of fresh fruit and vegetables 

and 59 percent of processed fruit and vegetables 

showed detectable residues. Residues were 

detected in 30 percent of the peanut butter 

samples, 69 percent of wheat grain samples, 7 

percent of the poultry breast and thigh samples, 

and 19 percent of the bottled water samples. 

Excluding drinking water, 46 percent of all 

samples tested contained no detectable pesticides 

[parent compound and metabolite(s) combined], 

28 percent contained 1 pesticide, and 26 percent 

contained more than 1 pesticide. Low levels of 

environmental contaminants were detected in 

broccoli, carrots, kale greens, peaches, frozen 

sweet peas, spinach, watermelon, winter squash, 

peanut butter and poultry at concentrations well 

below levels that trigger regulatory actions. 

Excluding samples for which no tolerances are 

set (bottled water and treated/untreated drinking 

water), residues exceeding the tolerance were 

detected in 0.2 percent of the 12,554 samples 

tested in 2006 – 31 samples with 1 residue each. 

A tolerance is the maximum amount of a 

pesticide residue allowable on a raw agricultural 

commodity. Established tolerances are listed in 

the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

of pesticides, metabolites, and isomers included 

in the PDP testing profiles were not detected. 

None of the detections in the finished water 

samples exceeded established EPA Maximum 

Contaminant Levels (MCL) or Health Advisory 

(HA) levels or established Freshwater Aquatic 

Organism (FAO) criteria. 

Data Availability: PDP continuously strives to 

improve methods for the collection, testing, and 

reporting of 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. They also are available to 

all stakeholders by hard copy, Internet, or 

custom reports generated by MPO. Additional 

copies of the PDP Annual Summary may be 

obtained by calling MPO at (703) 330-2300 or 

by mailing the form provided at the end of this 

report. This publication, the PDP database file 

for 2006, and annual summaries and database 

files for previous years are available on the PDP 

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

180. Residues with no established tolerance 

were found in 3.1 percent of the samples (367 

samples with 1 residue each, 17 samples with 2 

residues each, 2 samples with 3 residues each, 

and 1 sample with 4 residues). In most cases, 

these residues were detected at very low levels 

and some residues might have resulted from 

spray drift or crop rotations. PDP communicates these findings to FDA when they are 

reported by testing laboratories. 

For bottled water, 12 different residues from 6 

different pesticides were detected. Most 

samples with detectable residues contained 

only a single pesticide or metabolite. All 

detections were well below established FDA 

Standards of Quality (SOQs). In finished 

drinking water, PDP detected low levels 

(measured in parts per trillion) of some 

pesticides, primarily widely used herbicides 

and their metabolites. Forty-eight different 

residues were detected in the untreated intake 

water and 39 in the treated water. The majority

I. Introduction 

The Pesticide Data Program (PDP), which was 

initiated in 1991 to collect data on pesticide 

residues in food, now has an important role in 

the implementation of the 1996 Food Quality 

Protection Act (FQPA). This 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). 

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 focuses its 

pesticide testing on registered uses for the 

commodities in the program rather than 

screening for all potential illegal uses. 

Figure 1(a) illustrates PDP program policy 

development and planning operations. Primary 

contributors to these activities include the 

participating States, EPA, 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, the U.S. Food 

and Drug Administration (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. Additionally, other Federal, State and foreign government agencies and industry have used PDP data 

to promote the export of U.S. commodities to 

international markets, and the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Pesticides Residues has 

proposed PDP methodologies for international 

adoption. 

In 2006, sampling services were provided by 10 

States (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin); the USDA Grain 

Inspection, Packers, and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA); and the USDA Food Safety 

Inspection Service (FSIS). Additional sampling 

services were provided by participating drinking 

water facility personnel in 15 States (Alabama, 

Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, 

Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, 

Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, 

Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) and the 

District of Columbia. Laboratory services were 

provided by the States of California, Colorado, 

Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New 

York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington; the 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National 

Science Laboratory (NSL); and the GIPSA 

Laboratory. The AMS Monitoring Programs 

Office (MPO) is responsible for overall 

management of PDP. 

Figure 2 shows the States that participate in 

program sampling and/or testing as well as the 

States in their direct distribution network. 

Together, these States represent about 50 

percent of the Nation's population and all 4 

census regions of the U.S. These States also 

represent major producers of fruit and

vegetables in the U.S. AMS works closely with 

EPA to select commodities and pesticides for 

testing and in the selection of drinking water 

sites. The commodities selected are those 

representing the highest U.S. consumption, with 

an emphasis on foods consumed by infants and 

children. Appendix A provides a list of commodities tested by PDP from the beginning of 

the program in 1991 through 2007. 

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 and growth 

regulators) 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 2006, more 

than 700 sites granted access and provided 

information, including site volume data, to 

sample collectors. This voluntary cooperation 

is important to PDP and makes it possible to 

adjust sampling protocols in response to 

fluctuations in food distribution and production. 

Whole grain samples are collected by trained 

USDA GIPSA inspectors. Poultry samples are 

collected from designated slaughter facilities by 

trained USDA FSIS inspection program 

Figure 2. Program Participants. During 2006, AMS established cooperative agreements with 12 States to 

sample and/or test PDP commodities. State laboratories are responsible for analyzing fresh and processed fruit 

and vegetable samples and drinking water samples. The Federal laboratory in Gastonia, North Carolina, 

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

whole and processed grain products. States that do not participate in PDP’s sampling program but are in the 

direct distribution networks of the participating States also are shown.

personnel. Treated and untreated drinking water 

samples are collected on-site by trained watertreatment personnel at selected water treatment 

facilities across the country. 

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with 

current registered uses and compounds for which 

toxicity data and preliminary estimates of dietary 

exposure indicate the need for more extensive 

residue data. PDP also monitors pesticides for 

which EPA has instituted modified use directions (i.e., reduced application rates or frequency) as part of risk management activities. 

The following appendices list the specific pesticides tested in the program: fruit and vegetables 

(Appendix B), peanut butter (Appendix C), 

wheat (Appendix D), poultry (Appendix E), 

bottled water (Appendix F), and drinking water 

(Appendix G). 

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 reflect actual 

pesticide residue exposure from food. Using a 

rigorous statistical design, PDP has developed 

extensive procedures to ensure that samples are 

randomly selected from the national food 

distribution system and reflect what is typically 

available to the consumer. 

Fruit, vegetables, peanut butter, and bottled 

water are randomly collected by trained State 

inspectors at terminal markets and large chain 

store distribution centers throughout the country. 

Surrogate or “proxy” sites (retail markets) are 

occasionally used to collect these samples when 

the commodity of interest is unavailable at a 

terminal market or distribution center. In these 

instances, the commodity is selected in the rear 

storage area of the retail facility so that possible 

contamination by the consumer is eliminated and 

to allow capture of sample information from the 

product boxes. In 2006, 8.9 percent of fruit, 

vegetable, peanut butter, and bottled water 

samples were collected at proxy sites. The 

commodities most often collected at these 

facilities were bottled water and processed 

commodities. 

Wheat grain samples are collected from trains, 

trucks, and barges by trained USDA GIPSA 

inspectors. Poultry samples are collected from 

designated slaughter facilities by trained USDA 

FSIS inspection program personnel. Treated and 

untreated drinking water samples are collected 

on-site by trained water-treatment personnel at 

selected water treatment facilities across the 

country. 

 

At all sampling locations, information is usually 

available about the identity and origin of the 

sample. Sample information is captured at the 

time of sample 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 that PDP sampling is 

representative of the U.S. food supply. PDP 

sampling operations are adjusted according to 

product availability. The number of fruit, 

vegetable, peanut butter, and bottled water 

samples collected in each participating State is 

determined by State population. The number and 

location of collected wheat and poultry samples 

are determined by annual domestic production 

figures. 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 

reflect national trends. In this case, PDP collects 

samples in areas where it is known that targeted 

pesticides are heavily used. The quarterly 

collection schedule for all 2006 commodities is 

shown in Table 1. 

PDP State sample collectors are trained to 

adhere to detailed program Standard Operating 

Procedures (SOPs) that provide criteria for site 

selection and specific instructions for sample 

selection, shipping and handling, and chain-ofcustody. SOPs are updated as needed and serve

Table 1. PDP Commodity Collection Schedule for 2006. Samples most often are 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 from May 1991 through December 2007.

as a technical reference in conducting program 

sampling reviews to ensure that program goals 

and objectives are met. SOPs for PDP sampling 

are available on the Internet at www.ams.usda. 

gov/pdp. 

Temperature-sensitive samples are packed in 

heavy-duty, temperature-controlled containers. 

Holding temperatures are preserved throughout 

transit time with the inclusion of ample frozen 

cold packs and insulating materials. Nontemperature-sensitive samples do not require 

temperature-controlled containers; however, they 

are shipped in heavy-duty, well-cushioned 

containers. Samples are shipped the same day as 

collection by overnight delivery to preserve 

sample integrity. Wheat 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. Poultry samples are collected in 

pesticide-free polyethylene bags, frozen overnight, and shipped by next-day delivery to the 

laboratory for analysis. Drinking water samples 

from water treatment plants are collected in 

specially prepared bottles containing dechlorinating agents to halt any potential compound 

degradation, packed with proper cushioning and 

cold packs, and shipped the same day as 

collection to their respective laboratory by 

overnight delivery. 

Electronic Sample Information Forms (e-SIFs) 

are used for chain-of-custody and to capture 

information needed to characterize the sample. 

Sample collectors use handheld or laptop 

computers in the field to record sample identification 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 five 

data elements is combined to form a unique PDP 

sample identification 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, post-harvest chemical 

applications, and grower, packer, and/or 

distributor locations. The e-SIFs are emailed the 

same day as sample collection or, at the latest, 

by 8:00 a.m. the 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. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Fruit and 

 Vegetables 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2006, 

72 percent (9,818 of 13,658) were fruit and 

vegetables, including fresh and processed products. The fresh commodities collected for PDP 

were bananas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, 

cranberries, eggplant, grapefruit, greens (collard 

greens and kale), peaches, plums, spinach, 

summer squash, watermelon, and winter 

squash. The processed commodities included 

applesauce, orange juice (ready-to-serve and 

frozen), dried plums (prunes), frozen potatoes, 

raisins, and frozen sweet peas. All fresh fruit 

and vegetable samples weighed either 3 or 5 

pounds (3 pounds were collected for lowweight commodities such as greens and spinach 

and 5 pounds were collected for larger, highweight commodities such as eggplant and 

grapefruit). For relatively large-sized commodities, such as cauliflower, eggplant, 

grapefruit, and summer squash, a minimum of 

two units were collected to maintain sample 

representativeness. An exception for these 

large-sized commodities was watermelon; only 

one unit was collected per sample because of its 

unusually heavy shipping weight. The weights 

or volumes of processed commodities varied by 

commodity: applesauce, frozen potatoes, and 

frozen sweet peas - 3 pounds; orange juice - 1 

quart; and dried plums and raisins - 15 ounces. 

Participating State agencies compile and maintain lists of sampling sites. The States provide 

AMS and NASS with annual volume information for commodities distributed at each site. 

This information is used to weight the site to 

determine the probability for sample selection. 

For example, a weight of 10 may be given to a 

site that distributes 100,000 pounds of produce

annually and a weight of 1 is given to a site that 

distributes 10,000 pounds. The 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 

between 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 

specific 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 figures are used to assign the 

number of fruit and vegetable samples 

scheduled for collection each month. These 

population- and distribution-network-based 

numbers result in the following monthly 

collection assignments for each State: California, 14; Colorado, 2; Florida, 7; Maryland, 4; 

Michigan, 6; New York, 9; Ohio, 6; Texas, 8;

Washington, 4; and Wisconsin, 2. This schedule 

results in a monthly target of 62 samples per 

commodity, or 744 samples per commodity per 

year. 

The total number of samples collected in each 

State for each commodity is listed in Table 2. 

Figure 2 illustrates the participating 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 for eggplant, 

fresh plums, and watermelon by month. Fruit 

and vegetable samples originated from 41 

States and 27 foreign countries (refer to 

Appendix H). 

♦ Wheat 

Trained USDA GIPSA inspectors collected 687 

wheat samples for PDP for the 2005 crop year 

(October 2005 through April 2006). Sample 

collection rates, on a state-wide basis, were calculated on the basis of crop production totals 

averaged over a 3-year period. Samples were 

drawn from trucks (17% of samples), hopper 

cars (69% of samples), and barges (14% of 

samples). Wheat grain slated for export were 

excluded from the sampling scheme. PDP

chain-of-custody procedures are similar to those 

used for fruit and vegetable samples. Sample 

information for wheat included: inspection 

location, inspection point code, field office 

location, official agency collecting the sample, 

carrier type (truck, hopper car, or barge), carrier 

identification code, State of origin, collection 

date, and inspector’s name. Pesticide residue 

analysis was performed by the GIPSA Technical 

Services Division Laboratory located in Kansas 

City, Missouri. Wheat samples were collected 

from 9 GIPSA field offices across the country 

and originated from 27 States. 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. 

♦ Poultry 

Between January and December 2006, 1,310 

poultry samples were collected for PDP by 

trained FSIS inspectors. The inspectors collected samples from young hens and mature 

chickens at designated slaughter facilities, separately bagged each tissue in pesticide-free 

polyethylene bags, labeled the samples, and 

froze the samples overnight. Once frozen, the 

samples were packed with frozen cold packs in 

tamper-proof boxes, and shipped by overnight 

delivery to the NSL in Gastonia, North Carolina, 

for analysis. FSIS used specially designed 

Unified Sampling Forms that contain all required 

PDP sample information. The forms were 

Figure 6. Location and Number of Poultry Sample Collection Sites. A total of 

1,310 poultry samples were collected that included 655 breast tissue samples and 655 

thigh tissue samples, with each set taken from a composite of 6 birds. All samples 

were approximately 1 pound. FSIS inspectors collected samples at designated 

slaughter facilities. The samples originated from 29 States and Puerto Rico. Residue 

testing for all samples was performed by the AMS National Science Laboratory in 

Gastonia, North Carolina.

completed on-site and accompanied each sample 

during shipment. Each site sample consisted of 

breast muscle tissue from each of 6 chickens and 

thigh muscle tissue from each of the same 6 

chickens for a total of 655 breast tissues and 655 

thigh tissues, or 1,310 individual samples. All 

samples contained skin and were deboned. 

Samples were taken from 161 slaughter facilities 

in 29 States plus Puerto Rico at rates according 

to throughput volume (refer to Figure 6 for 

distribution of samples in each State). 

♦ Peanut Butter 

PDP collected and analyzed 739 peanut butter 

samples in 2006. Approximately 1-pound samples were collected from routine PDP sampling 

sites that included major chain-store distribution 

centers and terminal markets. Less than one 

percent of the samples were collected from proxy 

sites. Only “creamy style” peanut butter samples 

containing not less than 90 percent peanuts were 

collected. Styles such as chunky, old fashioned, 

and jelly mixes were excluded. Analysis was 

performed by the GIPSA Technical Services 

Division Laboratory located in Kansas City, 

Missouri. 

♦ Bottled Water and Municipal Drinking 

 Water 

PDP State sample collectors collected 367 

bottled water samples that represented a half 

sampling rate from the 10 participating States 

(California-7, Colorado-1, Florida-3, Maryland2, Michigan-3, New York-4, Ohio-3, Texas-4, 

Washington-2, and Wisconsin-1). Eighty-six 

percent of the samples were of domestic origin, 

13 percent were imported, and 1 percent were of 

mixed national origin. A minimum of 2 liters per 

sample was collected from distribution and retail 

facilities in each participating State. Bottled 

water types excluded from the sampling scheme 

were: natural sparkling bottled water and mineral 

water. Artificially carbonated water, seltzer 

water, and flavored water, which are not regulated by FDA as bottled water, also were not 

included in the sampling scheme. Most bottled 

water sample collection was performed at proxy 

sites (retail stores) because local, as well as 

national brands, were included in the survey. 

Sample information and packing procedures 

were the same as those for fruit and vegetables; 

however, the inclusion of cold packs for 

shipping was unnecessary. Sample information 

on bottled water also included (1) bottle type 

and (2) brand name. Sample collection States 

are found in Table 2. Sample analysis was 

performed by the State laboratory in Minnesota. 

In the municipal water sampling project, 737 

drinking water samples were collected from 14 

States and the District of Columbia community 

water systems that draw water from surface 

water sources. Samples were collected bimonthly by trained water treatment facility 

personnel and sent to State laboratories in 

Colorado, Montana, and New York for analysis. 

Samples included water collected from both the 

raw water intake and the finished drinking water 

after treatment. The untreated intake water and 

treated water were collected as paired samples, 

taking into account each individual plant’s 

processing time. 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. 

The States and the number of sites in each State 

(in parentheses) from which municipal water 

samples were drawn included: Alabama (2), 

Arizona (1), California (1), Florida (1), Georgia 

(1), Iowa (1), Louisiana (1), Minnesota (1), 

Missouri (1), Montana (1), New Jersey (1), 

North Dakota (2), Pennsylvania (1), South 

Carolina (1), and the District of Columbia (1). 

Site selection was made in collaboration with 

EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and Office 

of Water. 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. General locations of water 

collection sites and testing laboratories are 

illustrated in Figure 7.

III. Laboratory Operations

♦ Overview 

Twelve laboratories (10 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 proficiency on an 

ongoing basis. Program scientists continuously 

test new technologies and develop new 

techniques to improve the levels of detection. 

Major changes in methodology are evaluated 

and their soundness demonstrated and 

documented in accordance with PDP SOPs. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Fruit and 

 Vegetables 

PDP participating laboratories analyzing fruit 

and vegetables monitored 252 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers using 

Multiresidue Methods (MRMs). Upon arrival 

at the testing facility, samples are visually 

examined for acceptability and discarded if 

determined to be inedible (decayed, extensively 

bruised, or spoiled). Accepted samples are 

prepared emulating the practices of the average 

consumer to more closely represent actual 

exposure to residues. Fresh samples are 

prepared as follows: (1) bananas are peeled; (2) 

broccoli is visually examined, any damaged 

portion or wilted florets removed, any inedible 

Figure 7. Location of Drinking Water Collection Sites at Community Water 

Systems, 2006. A total of 17 water treatment facilities in the U.S. were sampled in 

paired units (coordinated treated and untreated samples). Sites represent areas of 

varied geographical settings but are located in watersheds where pesticides were 

known to have been heavily applied.

portion of stem removed, and washed; (3) 

cranberries are washed; (4) carrots are washed, 

gently scrubbed, and stem cap portions 

removed; (5) cauliflower is visually examined, 

any damaged portions and wrapper leaves 

discarded, and washed; (6) eggplant, summer 

squash, and winter squash are washed and end 

pieces are removed; (7) grapefruit are peeled 

and excess white membrane is removed; (8) 

greens are visually examined, any damaged/

wilted and wrapper leaves discarded, and 

washed; (9) peaches and plums are washed, the 

stems and leaves removed, and pitted; (10) 

spinach is visually examined, damaged/wilted 

leaves and woody stems removed, and washed; 

and (11) watermelon is quartered and the rind 

removed; for large watermelon, alternate 

quarters of each fruit are homogenized (rind 

removed). 

Processed samples are prepared as follows: (1) 

applesauce, frozen peas, and frozen potatoes are 

homogenized with their entire contents, 

including any liquid present; and (2) fresh and 

reconstituted orange juice samples are mixed 

until homogeneous. In the case of dried plums 

and raisins, samples are rehydrated to facilitate 

commodity extraction. 

Laboratories are permitted to refrigerate incoming fresh fruit and vegetable samples of the 

same commodity for 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 are 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 verification testing 

is required. 

For analysis of fruit and vegetables, residues are 

extracted using organic solvents followed by 

various cleanup procedures such as Solid Phase 

Extraction (SPE). The California, Florida 

(Winter Haven), Texas, and Washington laboratories used modifications of the MRM 

developed by the California Department of Food 

and Agriculture. The Florida Tallahassee laboratory used an acetonitrile extraction followed 

by an aminopropyl SPE cleanup procedure. The 

Michigan laboratory used a modified version of 

the QuEChERS method, developed and 

published in July 2003 by USDA’s Agricultural 

Research Service. The New York laboratory 

used a method based on the Agriculture and 

Agri-Food Canada SPE method with some 

modifications based on the Luke procedure. 

The Ohio laboratory used variations and combinations of the FDA Luke I [Section 302 of 

Pesticide Analytical Manual (PAM) I] and Luke 

II [FDA Laboratory Information Bulletin (LIB) 

3896] extraction procedures. All MRMs are 

determined, prior to use and through appropriate 

method validation procedures, to produce 

equivalent data for PDP analytical purposes. 

Gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC), coupled with selective detectors 

and mass spectrometry (MS) systems, are used 

for the initial identification and quantitation of 

pesticides. Laboratories are increasing their use 

of GC- and LC-MS systems and are specifically 

focusing on LC-MS/MS techniques to broaden 

the scope of testing and to keep pace with 

emerging analyte chemistries. All residues 

initially identified must be verified. Confirmation is accomplished by MS, alternate 

detection systems, or alternate chromatographic 

behavior. Verification is considered crucial due 

to the complexity of commodity matrices and 

the low concentrations of detected residues. The 

verification process provides an extra measure 

of confidence in the identification of the analyte 

and its concentration. 

♦ Peanut Butter 

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, 

Missouri, analyzed peanut butter samples for 77 

parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/

or isomers. Upon arrival at the testing facility, 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

16 

samples were visually examined for acceptability and discarded if leaking, spoiled, or 

otherwise inedible. Peanut butter samples were 

refrigerated at 10° C, or lower, until time of 

analysis. Surplus sample aliquots, not used for 

the initial testing, were retained refrigerated in 

the event that replication of analysis or 

verification testing was required. Extraction of 

peanut butter samples was accomplished using 

solvent extraction and SPE cleanup coupled 

with GC-MS and LC-MS/MS detection. 

♦ Wheat 

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, 

Missouri, analyzed wheat samples for 71 parent 

pesticides, metabolites, and/or isomers. Upon 

arrival at the testing facility, samples were 

visually examined for acceptability and discarded if moldy or infested. Wheat samples 

were refrigerated at 7°C prior to grinding and 

then stored frozen at -80°C until time of 

analysis. Surplus sample aliquots, not used for 

the initial testing, were retained at -80°C in the 

event that replication of analysis or verification 

testing was required. Extraction of wheat 

samples was accomplished using solvent extraction and SPE cleanup coupled with GC-MS 

detection. 

♦ Poultry 

The AMS NSL in Gastonia, North Carolina, 

tested poultry meat (thigh/breast) samples 

for 96 parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers. For both poultry breast 

and thigh tissues, approximately 1-pound 

samples were collected for shipment to the 

testing facility. Upon arrival at the testing 

facility, samples were visually examined for 

acceptability and discarded if warm to the touch, 

spoiled, or leaking. If not homogenized 

immediately after arrival, samples were frozen 

at 0°C or lower until homogenized. The tissue 

samples were homogenized by grinding it with 

dry ice in a large, high-speed food processor. 

The sample homogenates were placed into 

sample cups (approximately 60 grams per cup) 

and allowed to sublime at -20°C overnight 

before storing at -70°C prior to analysis. A 20-

gram aliquot was weighed for each thigh or 

breast sample followed by organic solvent 

extraction and sample cleanup using ultra-low 

refrigeration (-70°C), centrifugation, and dispersive SPE. For each poultry breast or thigh 

sample, two extra sample homogenate cups, not 

used for the initial testing, were retained frozen 

in the event that replication of analysis or 

verification testing was required. Surplus 

poultry tissue homogenate remaining after the 

three sample cups were filled was then 

discarded. Samples were analyzed using GCMS and LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Bottled Water

The Minnesota laboratory analyzed bottled 

water for 84 parent pesticides, metabolites, and 

isomers. These compounds were determined to 

be of interest to EPA based on data needs for 

risk assessment as required under FQPA. Upon 

arrival at the testing laboratory, samples were 

visually examined for acceptability (within 

labeled expiration date, no leakage). Samples 

were refrigerated until time of analysis. One 

liter of the sample provided was extracted for 

compounds amenable to GC-MS analysis and 

one for chloroacetanilide compounds to be 

analyzed via LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Drinking Water

The Colorado, Montana, and New York laboratories analyzed drinking water for 242 parent 

pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and isomers. These compounds were determined to be 

of interest to EPA. Paired samples of the raw 

intake water (untreated) and disinfected 

finished 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. Each sample consisted of 

three 1-liter amber glass bottles collected at the 

water treatment facility. Upon arrival at the 

testing laboratory, samples were visually 

examined for acceptability and discarded if 

warm to the touch or leaking. Samples were 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

17 

refrigerated until time of analysis and extracted 

within 96 hours of collection. A 1-liter bottle 

was extracted for compounds amenable to GC 

analysis and another one for compounds 

amenable to LC analysis. The remaining bottle 

was held in reserve or extracted for specialty 

compounds requiring separate extraction/analytical procedures [e.g., ethane sulfonic acid (ESA) 

and oxanilic acid (OA) analogs of alachlor, acetochlor, and metolachlor]. The extraction 

methods used were based on SPE methods 

developed by the U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) and were independently validated by 

each testing laboratory. Samples were analyzed 

using MS detection (single and tandem GC and 

LC technologies) or selective detectors. 

♦ 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 based on EPA Good 

Laboratory Practices (GLPs). Written SOPs 

provide uniform administrative, sampling, and 

laboratory procedures. SOPs are revised annually to accommodate changes in the program. 

As laboratories continue to move toward 

accreditation to ISO 17025, program SOPs are 

being modified to align with these ISO 

requirements. Prior to submission to PDP, data 

are reviewed by each Quality Assurance Unit 

(QAU) for completeness and adherence to PDP 

requirements. 

Laboratory Technical Advisory Group and 

Quality Assurance Officers: A Technical 

Advisory Group comprised of laboratory Technical Program Managers (TPMs) and Quality 

Assurance Officers (QAOs) is responsible for 

annually reviewing program SOPs and addressing QA issues. For day-to-day QA oversight, 

PDP relies on the QAU at each participating 

facility. As required under EPA GLPs, the QAU 

operates independently from the laboratory staff 

and is responsible for performing quarterly 

internal program audits. Preliminary data review procedures are performed on-site by each 

laboratory’s QAU. Final review procedures are 

performed by MPO staff who are responsible 

for collating and reviewing data for conformance with SOPs. 

Method Performance Requirements: Laboratories are required to determine and verify the 

limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) for each pesticide/commodity 

pair. LODs depend on matrix, analyte, and detector used. 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. 

Confirmation: Verification by MS or a suitable 

alternate detection system is required for all 

preliminary results. Verified residue amounts 

greater than or equal to LOD and below LOQ 

are reported as below quantifiable 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, clean-up, and, where 

applicable, derivatization. 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, peanut butter, wheat, and poultry, an 

amount of distilled water, equivalent to the 

natural moisture content of the commodity, is 

run through the entire analytical process to 

confirm 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. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

18 

The first portion is used to determine background information on naturally occurring 

chemicals and the second is used 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, neonicotinyls, phenoxy acid herbicides, pyrethroids, strobilurins, triazines), 

which have physical and chemical characteristics similar to those in the class they 

represent. Marker pesticides are 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 

throughout the year for each analyte/crop 

combination reported by their laboratory. 

During 2006, PDP laboratories quantitated a 

total of 51,605 matrix spikes, with an overall 

mean recovery of 93 percent and an overall 

percent coefficient of variation (% C.V.) of 

27 percent. 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 2006, PDP laboratories 

quantitated a total of 50,010 process controls 

on 13,658 samples, with an overall mean 

recovery of 96 percent and an overall C.V. 

of 21 percent. Of these process controls, 459 

(0.92 percent) were rerun due to initial failure 

to meet PDP recovery criteria. These rerun 

values are not included in these statistics. 

Proficiency Testing: All facilities are required 

to participate in PDP’s Proficiency Testing (PT) 

program. For laboratories testing fresh and 

processed fruit and vegetables, grains, dairy 

products, and meats, multiresidue test samples 

containing pesticides of known quantities are 

periodically issued and analyzed under the same 

conditions as routine samples. The resulting data 

are used to determine performance equivalency 

among the testing laboratories and to evaluate 

individual laboratory performance. During 2006, 

PDP laboratories received 5 multiresidue fruit 

and vegetable PT sets consisting of 15 samples, 1 

peanut butter set consisting of 3 samples, and 1 

poultry set consisting of 3 samples. For fruit and 

vegetable multiresidue screening, the 15 samples 

were comprised of 5 commodities and were fortified with 51 compounds at levels generally 1 to 

10 times the LOQ. Five compounds were repeated twice and five compounds were repeated 

once. Reported results for fruit and vegetable 

samples yielded an overall mean recovery of 93 

percent and an overall C.V. of 21 percent. For 

peanut butter and poultry, 2 samples were 

fortified with a total of 11 compounds for each 

commodity. 

Additionally, PDP laboratories participated in the 

international AOAC® PT program. During 2006, 

PDP laboratories participated in three test rounds, 

one for cauliflower, one for grapefruit, and one 

for peaches. Each sample set was fortified with 

nine pesticides. Laboratories were evaluated 

based on z-scores for reported compounds, as 

well as any reported false negatives or false 

positives. Laboratories were not held responsible 

for reporting compounds not included in their 

routine screening method. Overall, PDP laboratories performed as well or better than other 

participating laboratories. 

For water, two proficiency sample sets were 

analyzed during 2006. For the first set, replicate 

samples from a site whose samples historically 

contained multiple pesticides were sent to each of 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

19 

the water testing laboratories and reported results 

compared. For the other drinking water set, a 

commercial vendor supplied PT solutions to the 

testing laboratories. Solution profiles were based 

on common laboratory analytical profiles and 

detection limits. Test solutions were used for 

spiking, rather than distribution of spiked 

samples, due to stability concerns. For each PT 

set, the vendor supplied the laboratory’s QAU 

with a custom solution that was diluted according to program protocols by the on-site QAU and 

fortified into 1-liter of replicate sample received 

by each laboratory. The spiked samples were 

then presented to the staff members of each 

respective laboratory for analysis. 

On-site Reviews: MPO staff perform on-site 

visits to determine compliance with PDP SOPs. 

Improvements in sampling, chain-of-custody, 

laboratory, recordkeeping, and electronic data 

transmission procedures are made as a result of 

on-site reviews. 

IV. Database Management 

 

PDP maintains an electronic database at the 

MPO in Manassas, Virginia, that serves as a 

central data repository. The data captured and 

stored in the PDP database include sample 

collection and product information, residue findings, and process control recoveries for each 

sample analyzed, in addition to QA/QC fortified 

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 files 

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 files containing 

sample information that are e-mailed to PDP 

headquarters and then imported into the Webbased RDE system. 

The RDE data entry screens have extensive 

editing functions and cross-checks built into the 

software to ensure that 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 fields, 

dates, and other character fields to ensure that 

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 presently maintained 

using Microsoft® Access in a Windows®

operating environment. Access to the central 

PDP database is limited to PDP staff personnel 

only and is controlled through password 

protection and user access rights. System backups are performed each night and back-up tapes 

are sent to off-site storage once a week.

♦ Data Reporting 

 

The PDP staff frequently receives requests for 

data from Government agencies and interested 

outside parties. Ad-hoc queries and custom 

reports are generated to fill such requests. An 

electronic library of data queries is maintained to 

generate standardized data summaries, including 

the data tables, charts, and appendices in this 

annual summary. Subsets of the PDP calendar 

year databases are made available for download 

from the PDP Web site. The data files on the 

Web site are fixed-length text files that contain a 

portion of the sampling data, all of the reported 

residue findings, and reference lists that can be 

used to interpret the standardized codes used in 

the PDP data. The data files can be imported 

into defined database structures and manipulated 

with the use of common database management 

software packages. 

V. Sample Results and Discussion

♦ Sample Results 

In 2006, PDP conducted surveys on a variety of 

foods including fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables, peanut butter, wheat grain, poultry, 

bottled water, and treated and untreated drinking 

water. Of the 13,658 samples that were collected and analyzed, 9,818 were fruit and 

vegetable commodities, 739 were peanut butter 

samples, 687 were wheat grain samples, 1,310 

were paired breast and thigh poultry samples, 

367 were bottled water samples, and 737 were 

drinking water samples. 

Excluding drinking water samples, which were 

all from U.S. sources, approximately 80 percent 

of all samples were produced in the U.S., 18 

percent were imports, 1 percent was of mixed 

origin, and 1 percent was of unknown origin. 

Appendix H shows the distribution of sample 

origin by State or country. Of the domestic 

samples, approximately 39 percent (3,269 of 

8,322) were grown, packed, and/or distributed in 

or from California. Approximately 32 percent 

(178 of 557) of the orange juice samples were of 

mixed national origin (i.e., the juice was 

comprised of orange concentrates from more 

than one country). Appendix I includes a 

comparison of residues for selected commodities 

with a significant import component. 

Table 3 gives an overview of the number of 

residue detections for fresh and processed fruit 

and vegetables, peanut butter, wheat grain, 

poultry, and bottled water products determined 

during 2006. Overall, 64 percent of fresh fruit 

and vegetables and 59 percent of processed fruit 

and vegetables showed detectable residues. 

Residues were detected in 30 percent of the 

peanut butter samples, 69 percent of the wheat 

grain samples, 7 percent of the poultry breast 

and thigh samples, and 19 percent of the bottled 

water samples. 

Appendix B tabulates the distribution of residues 

in fruit and vegetables for the complete 2006 

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; 

tolerance violations; range of analytical LODs; 

EPA tolerance levels or FDA action levels; and 

corresponding Codex Alimentarius Maximum 

Residue Limits (MRLs) and/or Extraneous Maximum Residue Limits (EMRLs), when applicable. Appendices C, D, E, F and G provide the 

distribution of residues for peanut butter, wheat 

grain, poultry, bottled water, and treated and 

untreated drinking water respectively. The 

individual sample data can be downloaded from 

the PDP Web site or obtained by contacting 

MPO. 

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 nondetect. LODs are established experimentally for 

each pesticide/commodity pair and are reported 

with each data set. The number of non-detects

Table 3. Number of Samples Analyzed and Summary of Residues Detected by Commodity. The distinction 

between the number of pesticides and different residues is made to differentiate a parent compound and its 

metabolite(s). A parent compound and its metabolites are reported as a single pesticide detection rather than 

as separate residue detections.

these values may be counted as zero towards the

below the established LOD). For samples 

containing residues, the vast majority of the 

detections were well below established 

tolerances and/or action levels. 

♦ Fresh vs. Processed 

The 2006 residue data, as in past years, show 

that residue profiles for fresh products are 

significantly different than for processed products. An increase in residue levels (concentration) or reduction in residue levels is likely a 

direct result of processing effects such as 

cooking, pasteurization, and other processing 

steps. A comparison of residues for selected 

fresh and processed products is shown in Table 

4. 

For fresh apples and/or applesauce, detection of 

pesticides in greater than 10 percent of the 

samples included acetamiprid, carbaryl, carbendazim (a metabolite of benomyl and thiophanate 

methyl), diphenylamine, imidacloprid, phosmet, 

thiabendazole, and thiacloprid. All eight compounds were detected in both fresh apples and 

applesauce. Acetamiprid, diphenylamine, imidacloprid, phosmet, and thiabendazole were 

detected more frequently in fresh apples than in 

applesauce. In contrast, the percent of samples 

with detections was higher for carbaryl, 

carbendazim and thiacloprid for applesauce than 

for fresh apples. For example, diphenylamine 

was present in 82.9 percent of fresh apples and 

30.2 percent of the applesauce samples, whereas 

carbendazim was detected in 82.6 percent of the 

applesauce and 20.8 percent of fresh apples. 

While raisins are primarily a domestic product, 

grapes are approximately half import and half 

domestic product. The majority of residues 

detected in greater than 10 percent of the 

samples occurred for grapes. These compounds 

include captan, chlorpyrifos, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, imidacloprid, iprodione, and myclobutanil. The only residue detected in greater than 

10 percent of the samples for raisins was the 

insecticide propargite; propargite was not 

detected in any of the fresh grape samples. 

Chlorpyrifos and fludioxonil were detected in 

fresh plums but not dried. Iprodione was found 

in 36.3 percent of fresh plums and 0.4 percent of 

dried plums. Phosmet was detected in 15.5 

percent of fresh plums and 1.8 percent of dried 

plums. 

♦ 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 PDP 

fruit and vegetable commodity in 2006. The 

data generated by PDP reflect pesticide residues 

in foods available to the U.S. consumer, 

including both domestic and imported products. 

Many commodities are almost entirely of 

domestic origin such as grapefruit, greens, and 

raisins. However, some fresh commodities, 

such as eggplant, plums, and watermelon are 

from domestic growers part of the year and are 

imported during the remaining months, as 

illustrated in Figure 4. Comparisons of selected 

residues detected in imported versus domestic 

winter squash and plums can be found in 

Appendix I. 

Overall, there were no significant differences 

between the number of detections in domestic 

vs. winter squash from Mexico; however, the 

residue profiles do differ. Overall, samples of 

plums from Chile showed a higher percent of 

detections than the domestic samples. 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 showed that the residue profiles for 

domestic and imported crops were significantly 

different. 

The winter squash data in Appendix I indicate 

that in 2005-2006, residues were detected in 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

24 

44.8 percent of the domestic samples and 41.4 

percent of the samples from Mexico. Dieldrin 

was detected in 10.4 percent of the domestic 

samples and in 0.2 percent of the samples from 

Mexico. Endosulfan sulfate was detected more 

frequently in the winter squash samples from 

Mexico (26.3%) than domestic winter squash 

samples (14.3%). 

For plums, 98.6 percent of the samples from 

Chile and 55.2 percent of the domestic 

samples had residues detected in 2005-2006. 

Chlorpyrifos and iprodione were detected 

more often in the imported plum samples than 

the domestic plum samples. For example, 

iprodione residues were detected in 94.7 

percent of the plum samples from Chile 

Table 4. Selected Residue Comparisons for Fresh and Processed Commodities. The percentage of 

samples with detections and the range of reported values for selected pesticides recovered from fresh 

vs. processed apples, grapes, and plums are shown. Commodity/residue pairs were selected based on 

the following criteria: data availability for fresh and processed product within the same sampling 

timeframe; greater than 10% detection rate for a residue in either the fresh or processed commodity; 

and number of samples analyzed sufficient to ensure adequate representation.

compared to 2.1 percent of the domestic 

samples. Similarly, chlorpyrifos was detected 

in a higher percentage of samples from Chile 

(26.3%) in relation to domestic samples (3.0%). 

Conversely, fludioxonil and phosmet were 

detected more often in the domestic plum 

samples than the plum samples from Chile. 

Fludioxonil was not detected in any of the 419 

plum samples from Chile, whereas it was 

detected in 32.5 percent of the domestic plum 

samples. Phosmet was found in 28.1 percent of 

the domestic samples and in 1.2 percent of the 

samples from Chile. 

♦ National Estimates

 

National estimates for pesticide/commodity 

pairs with detections in at least 10 percent of 

samples tested are shown in Appendix J. In 

most cases for each pair, the levels of detected 

residues are a small fraction of the tolerance 

level. A range of values for the average sample 

residue concentration (mean) for each pair is 

provided. The lower value for the range is 

determined by treating a sample without 

detectable residues as if it had a residue 

concentration equal to zero. The upper value is 

determined by treating such a sample as if it had 

a residue concentration equal to the LOD. 

Calculations for the 50th, 75th, and 90th 

percentiles for each of the selected pairs are 

shown. The ratio of the 90th percentile to the 

tolerance, as a normalization factor is also 

provided. Percent detections and percentiles for 

bananas, carrots, cauliflower, cranberries, eggplant, orange juice, plums, spinach, and winter 

squash were weighted to reflect monthly 

variations in marketing. No weighting adjustments were made for applesauce, grapefruit, 

peanut butter, frozen potatoes, raisins, frozen 

sweet peas, or wheat grain. 

Appendix K displays the estimated distributions 

of 12 representative pesticide/commodity pairs. 

These graphs depict that the overwhelming 

majority of pesticide testing results and the 

respective means (average values) are at low 

concentrations. The range of values, the median 

at the 50th percentile, and the range in percentile 

representing the lower and upper bound for the 

sample mean are shown on each chart. The 

pesticide/commodity pairs included in Appendix 

K are acetamiprid/applesauce, imazalil/bananas, 

pyraclostrobin/carrots, trifuralin/carrots, imidacloprid/cauliflower, azoxystrobin/cranberries, 

fludioxonil/plums, chlorpropham/frozen potatoes, imidacloprid/frozen potatoes, boscalid/

raisins, dimethoate/frozen sweet peas, and chlorpyrifos methyl/wheat. In some cases, there is 

convergence of the mean upper and lower bound 

into a single line due to the insignificant 

differences between them (e.g., imidacloprid/

cauliflower). 

♦ 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., imazalil, 

o-phenylphenol, and thiabendazole), but some 

insecticides (e.g., piperonyl butoxide) and 

sprouting inhibitors (e.g., chlorpropham) are 

important postharvest crop treatments. Some 

detections reported in Appendix B most likely 

reflect postharvest applications to the raw 

agricultural commodity. 

♦ Environmental Contaminants

 

DDT, DDD, and DDE

A total of 9,455 fruit and vegetable (Appendix 

B), 739 peanut butter (Appendix C), 687 wheat 

grain (Appendix D), 1,310 poultry samples (655 

paired breast and thigh samples, Appendix E), 

and 235 treated (finished) drinking water and 

236 untreated water samples (Appendix G) were 

screened for DDE p,p’, a metabolite of DDT. 

Use of DDT has been prohibited in the U.S. 

since 1972; however, due to its persistence in 

the environment, residues of the DDE p,p’ 

metabolite were detected in 4.2 percent (398 

detections in 9,455 samples) of the fruit and 

vegetable samples tested. Residues of DDE p,p’ 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

26 

were found in broccoli (1.1%), carrots (27.5%), 

kale greens (32.4%), peaches (1.1%), spinach 

(34.2%), summer squash (0.5%), watermelon 

(0.2%), and winter squash (0.5%). DDE p,p’ 

residues were also detected in peanut butter and 

poultry. Other DDT metabolites including 

DDD o,p’ (1,637 samples) and DDD 

p,p’ (9,440 samples) were analyzed in fruit and 

vegetables. There was only one detection for 

DDD o,p’ at 0.002 ppm on spinach and one 

detection of DDD p,p’ at 0.016 ppm on carrots. 

Residues of DDT o,p’ were detected only in 

spinach (5.2%). Residues of DDT p,p’ were 

detected in carrots (0.5%), kale greens (32.4%), 

spinach (8.6%), and summer squash (1.9%). 

All detections of DDT and its metabolites were 

well below the established action levels for all 

commodities. 

 

OTHER EXTRANEOUS PESTICIDES

In 1974, all aldrin and dieldrin uses were 

canceled in the U.S., and in 1978, all heptachlor 

uses were canceled. In 1986, chlordane uses, 

except termiticide uses, were canceled. Despite 

these cancellations and due to their persistence 

in the environment, residues of dieldrin were 

detected in carrots, frozen potatoes, spinach, 

summer squash, and winter squash in 2006. 

Dieldrin was found in 0.1 percent of carrot, 0.4 

percent of frozen potato, 0.2 percent of spinach, 

9.1 percent of summer squash, and 1.6 percent 

of winter squash samples. Heptachlor epoxide, 

a metabolite of heptachlor, was detected in 

summer squash (1.6%) and winter squash 

(0.5%). The cis-chlordane isomer was detected 

in carrots (0.9%), spinach (0.4%), summer 

squash (4.3%), and winter squash (1.4%). 

Residues of trans-chlordane were found in 

spinach (0.2%), summer squash (1.6%), and 

winter squash (0.3%). All detections were well 

below the established action levels. 

♦ Multiple Pesticide Residue 

 Detections

By virtue of the MRMs employed, PDP 

provides novel data that can be used by EPA in 

evaluating exposure to multiple residues from 

the same commodity. The data are crucial for 

assessments which consider cumulative exposure 

to pesticides which are determined to have 

common mechanisms of toxicity. The distribution of multiple pesticides occurring in samples 

tested during 2006 is presented in Appendix L. 

These data indicate that 46 percent of all samples 

tested excluding treated and untreated drinking 

water contained no detectable pesticides, 28 

percent contained 1 pesticide, and 26 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,” as was reported in 

summaries prior to 2003. For example, a sample 

with positive detections for Endosulfan I, II, and 

sulfate would have been counted as three 

residues in the 2002 Appendix L. That sample 

would be counted as just one pesticide detected 

in Appendix L of this Summary. 

Most multiple residue detections result from the 

application of more than one pesticide on a crop 

during a growing season; however, a number of 

other factors could contribute to multiple 

detections. Pesticide spray drift, residue transfer 

through crop rotation and at packing facilities, 

and/or presence of persistent environmental 

contaminants could all contribute to residue 

detections. 

It should be noted that, 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 might or might not reflect the 

number of pesticides per concentration in a 

single serving item of a commodity. 

♦ Tolerance Violations 

A tolerance is defined 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. A tolerance violation occurs when a 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

27 

residue is found that exceeds the tolerance 

level or when a residue is found for which 

there is no established tolerance. With the 

exception of meat, poultry, and egg products, 

for which USDA is responsible, FDA enforces 

tolerances for all imported and domestic foods 

that move through interstate commerce. 

Although PDP is not an enforcement program, 

samples found to contain residues exceeding 

the tolerance and/or residues for which there is 

no established tolerance are reported to the 

FDA. This notification is made in accordance 

with a Memorandum of Understanding 

between USDA and FDA for the purpose of 

pinpointing areas where closer surveillance 

might be needed. 

Residues exceeding the established tolerance 

are noted with an “X” in Appendices B, C, D, 

and E. Similarly, residues for which a tolerance 

is not established are noted with a “V.” The 

“X” and “V” annotations are followed by a 

number indicating the number of samples 

reported to FDA. 

An established tolerance can apply to more 

than one residue because pesticides could 

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 violations in Appendix M are 

combined residues of parent and any isomers 

and/or metabolites to count the total number of 

samples with tolerance violations. 

In 2006, a total of 412 samples with 442 

residues were reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations. Excluding samples 

for which no tolerances are set (bottled water 

and drinking water), residues exceeding the 

tolerance were detected in 0.2 percent of the 

12,554 samples tested in 2006 - 31 samples 

with 1 residue each. Residues with no 

established tolerance were found in 3.1 percent 

of the samples (367 samples with 1 residue 

each, 17 samples with 2 residues each, 2 

samples with 3 residues each, and 1 sample with 

4 residues). In most cases, these residues were 

detected at very low levels and some residues 

could have resulted from spray drift or crop 

rotations. The residue levels and commodities 

are listed in Appendix M. 

♦ Bottled Water Results 

Bottled water is the second most consumed 

beverage in the United States. Due to its high 

consumption, PDP began testing bottled water 

in 2005 and continued through 2006. Bottled 

water is regulated as a packaged food product by 

the FDA and State regulatory agencies. FDA 

adopted EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Levels 

(MCLs) for municipal water systems as its 

Standards of Quality (SOQs) for bottled water. 

Bottled water meets similar standards as 

municipal water systems. 

Bottled water can come from many sources. 

Waters sampled by PDP included water which 

was purified from municipal sources, spring 

water, and melt water from glaciers. It is not 

required for bottled water to identify a specific 

source on the label, but bottlers must adhere to 

the FDA Standard of Identity regulations that 

provide uniform definitions for the following 

bottled water classifications: bottled, drinking, 

artesian, ground, distilled, deionized, reverse 

osmosis, mineral, purified, sparkling, spring, 

sterile, and well water. Ninety-eight different 

brands of bottled water were sampled in 2006. 

These included small local brands of bottled 

waters as well as nationally sold brands. Some 

bottling companies may have multiple sources 

for their water and may list them on the label. 

Sampling these major brands of bottled water 

from various locations across the country allows 

PDP to obtain samples from these multiple 

sources. Due to its weight and shipping cost, 

most bottled water comes from domestic 

sources; however, 51 samples were imports 

from Canada, Croatia, Fiji, France, Iceland, and 

Italy. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2006 

28 

In 2006, PDP analyzed 367 bottled water 

samples using multiresidue methods to test for 

84 pesticides and metabolites. Twelve different 

residues from 6 different pesticides were 

detected in 19 percent of the bottled water 

samples collected. All of the detections were 

commonly used herbicides and their metabolites. Appendix F provides a distribution of 

residues detected in bottled water. 

Table 5 shows the residues which were detected 

in the bottled water sampled by PDP in 2006. 

The bulk of the residue detections occurred in 

spring waters while only 3.5 percent of the 

samples purified from municipal sources 

contained any detectable residues. Most samples with detectable residues contained only a 

single pesticide or metabolite. A few of the 

samples contained multiple residues with a 

maximum of four detectable pesticides within a 

given sample. All detections were well below 

established FDA SOQs. 

♦ Drinking Water Results 

Figure 7 shows the distribution of drinking 

water sites for the 2006 PDP testing program. 

Untreated and finished drinking water samples 

were collected from community water systems 

in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, 

Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, 

Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and the District of 

Columbia. Each watershed reflects the local 

topography, watershed size, geomorphology, 

soil types, geology, land use, land management 

practices, crop varieties, pesticides applied, and 

application methods. Due to the complexities 

associated with water quality assessments, 

these data reflect only the unique characteristics 

of the watersheds from which the samples were 

obtained. 

PDP analyzed 737 water samples from 

community water systems using MRMs to test 

for more than 240 pesticides and metabolites. 

Treatment plants participating in the 2006 

survey draw from surface water for primary 

source waters. The data presented here are for 

the untreated water collected at treatment plant 

intakes and treated water (post-disinfection) 

collected just prior to distribution to customers. 

Forty-eight different residues were detected in 

the untreated intake water and 39 in the 

finished water. Most of the detections were of 

commonly used herbicides and their metabolites. The majority of pesticides included in the 

PDP testing profiles were not detected and none 

of the detections in the finished water samples 

exceeded EPA MCL or Health Advisory (HA) 

levels.

residues. All of the detections were of commonly used herbicides and their metabolites.

analyzing the sample (6 parts per trillion) in the treated water. In the second graph, the treatment by the 

municipal water system shows no effect upon the atrazine concentration. Removal of a pesticide is a function 

of its physical properties and the type of treatment being used by the water system.

Appendix G lists the MCL and/or HA values; 

however, many of the compounds in the PDP 

testing profiles do not have established regulatory standards. For comparative purposes, EPA 

Fresh Aquatic Organism (FAO) criteria, which 

are much lower than human-based MCLs or 

HA levels, also are given. These criteria 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 2006, no detections exceeded 

established FAO levels. Additional information regarding EPA drinking water standards is 

available at: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/

standard/setting.html. 

Water treatment technologies vary widely and 

may be based on the local water chemistry, 

targeted contaminants needing removal, and 

cost. Appendix G shows the concentration of 

detected residues in treated and untreated 

water. In most cases, there were more 

detections in the untreated water than the 

treated water. In a few cases, residues detected 

in the treated water were not detected in the 

untreated water. The data acquired to date 

indicate that the water treatment process 

removed matrix interferences, allowing for a 

more sensitive measurement in the treated water. 

Depending on the treatment process employed, 

individual pesticides are entirely, partially, or 

not removed during the treatment process. 

Figure 9 shows concentrations of the herbicides 

2,4-D and atrazine in both the untreated water 

and the treated (finished) water for the site in the 

District of Columbia. The figure shows that 2,4-

D is effectively removed from the water during 

the treatment process at this treatment facility. 

At the same treatment facility, however, no 

difference in the concentration of atrazine is 

observed between the untreated water and the 

treated water. Due to the vast diversity in 

pesticide properties, no single water treatment 

method can remove all pesticides. Monitoring 

data provided to municipal systems can aid 

facilities in determining the most effective and 

cost-saving treatment method for their facilities.

Appendix A. Page 6 of 6
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), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerances, and Codex 

Maximum Residue Limit/Extraneous Maximum Residue Limit (MRL/EMRL) references 

for each pair. 

In 2006, 9,818 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 6,433 were 

fresh product and 3,385 were processed product. 

PDP reports tolerance violations to the 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 (CFR), Title 40, Part 180]. In both 

cases, these annotations are followed by a number indicating the number of samples 

reported to FDA. 

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

Action Level values established by FDA and/or Extraneous Maximum Residue Levels 

(EMRLs) established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Under FQPA, 

responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to 

EPA. In the interim, action levels are used. 

Data to establish Codex MRLs are evaluated by the Food and Agriculture and 

World Health Organization-sponsored Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) 

based on toxicology, residue occurrence in crops determined by supervised field trials, 

and dietary exposure. The Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) meets 

annually to discuss proposed MRLs and recommends approval to the Codex 

Alimentarius Commission. This means that Codex MRLs represent levels that are 

considered safe to humans. MRLs/EMRLs shown in this appendix are from the Codex 

Alimentarius: Proc. of Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues, 39th Session, May 7-

12, 2007, Beijing, China. Only Codex MRLs (CXLs) are listed. 

The information herein is only intended to be an initial reference. Readers are 

reminded that international regulations and MRLs can change and that it is important 

that information obtained from this table be verified with knowledgeable parties in the 

market of interest prior to sale or shipment of exports.

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.

AL = Numbers shown are Action Levels established by FDA and Codex Extraneous Maximum Residue Levels (EMRLs) for some

interim, action levels are used.

SU Safe use in spot and/or crack and crevice treatments.

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

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

** = Previously reported as lambda cyhalothrin total, which included lambda cyhalothrin (a 1:1 mixture of the cis-(1R,3R),S-enantiomer

Appendix C 

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Peanut Butter 

Appendix C shows residue detections for all peanut butter compounds tested, 

including range of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Codex Maximum Residue Limit/

Extraneous Maximum Residue Limit (MRL/EMRL) tolerance references for each pair. 

In 2006, PDP analyzed 739 peanut butter samples. A total of 223 samples (30 

percent) were reported with residue detections. All residue detections were much 

lower than the established tolerances. 

See Appendix B for definition of ALs and MRLs. 

MRLs/EMRLs shown in this appendix are from the Codex Alimentarius: Proc. of 

Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues, 39th Session, May 7-12, 2007, Beijing, 

China. Only Codex MRLs (CXLs) are listed. 

EPA tolerances as published in 40 CFR Part 180 are expressed in parts per 

million (ppm). Because peanut butter residues are expressed in parts per billion (ppb), 

EPA Tolerances and Codex MRLs have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 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 and Codex. 

The information herein is only intended to be an initial reference. Readers are 

reminded that international regulations and MRLs can change and that it is important 

that information obtained from this table be verified with knowledgeable parties in the 

market of interest prior to sale or shipment of exports.

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

 in Bottled Water 

Appendix F shows residue detections for all bottled water compounds tested, 

including range of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs) for each 

pair. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Standards of Quality (SOQ) values for 

bottled water are also shown.

In 2006, PDP analyzed 367 bottled water samples. A total of 70 samples (19%) 

were reported with residue detections. Twelve different residues from six different 

pesticides were detected. Most samples with detectable residues contained only a 

single pesticide or metabolite. A few of the samples contained multiple residues with a 

maximum of four detectable pesticides within a given sample. All detections were 

well below established FDA SOQs. 

Bottled water is regulated by the FDA and State regulatory agencies for the 

same list of pesticides currently regulated in public drinking water by EPA. The Safe 

Drinking Water Act amendments of 1996 require that FDA consider applicability of all 

EPA MCLs and monitoring for bottled water. FDA has adopted EPA’s MCLs for 

municipal water systems as its SOQs for bottled water. The SOQ values can be 

referenced in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, Part 165.110. 

FDA SOQ values are expressed in parts per million (ppm). Because bottled 

water residues are expressed in parts per trillion (ppt), the FDA SOQ 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 FDA.

Appendix G 

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Drinking Water 

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

including range of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs). The 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Primary Drinking Water Regulation 

(NPDWR) Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for drinking water, Health Advisory 

(HA) values for drinking water, and Freshwater Aquatic Organism (FAOs) Criteria for 

ambient water are also shown. Units for LODs, MCLs, HAs, and FAOs are shown in 

parts per trillion (ppt). 

In 2006, PDP analyzed 737 drinking water samples, including 368 finished 

drinking water samples and 369 untreated (raw intake) drinking water samples. PDP 

detected 39 different pesticide residues in finished drinking water and 48 residues in 

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

finished drinking water samples exceeded EPA MCLs or HAs 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://www.epa.gov/safewater/

mcl.html. 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 noncarcinogenic effects for a lifetime of exposure. The HA values 

can be referenced at http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/drinking. 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://www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/

wqcriteria.html. Health Advisories and FAO criteria are not legally enforceable Federal 

standards, but serve as technical guidance to assist Federal, State, and local officials. 

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

Because drinking water residues are expressed in parts per trillion (ppt), EPA MCL, 

HA, and FAO 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.

Appendix H

Sample Origin by State or Country 

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor)

Appendix H gives the number of fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, and bottled 

water 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, peanut butter, and bottled water 

samples originated from 41 States and 27 foreign countries. There were 404 domestic 

and 39 imported samples from unknown States and countries, respectively. There 

were an additional 67 samples from unknown countries of origin. Poultry and wheat 

samples were all of domestic origin. Overall, for all samples except drinking water, 80 

percent were from U.S. sources, 18 percent were imports, 1 percent were of mixed 

origin, and approximately 1 percent were of unknown origin.

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. Residue 

data for domestic winter squash are compared with data for samples originating in 

Mexico for 2005 and 2006. Residue data for fresh plums from the United States are 

compared with data for samples originating in Chile for 2005 and 2006. 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 profiles of 

residue findings were markedly different in the United States samples versus samples 

from these exporting countries. The differences in residue detections between 

countries were due likely to the pesticides used in response to pest pressures based 

on differing environmental, climatic, and growing conditions.

National Estimates for 

Concentration Percentiles vs. Tolerance

(Pairs With Residue Detections in at Least 10 Percent of Samples)

Appendix J shows 51 pesticide/commodity pairs (including metabolites, isomers, 

and degradates) with detections in at least 10 percent of the samples tested. 

Concentrations detected are arranged in percentiles. The 90th percentile is compared 

to the Environmental Protection Agency tolerance established for each pesticide/

commodity pair. 

The meaning of a percentile can be most easily explained through an example. 

For the bananas/thiabendazole pair, the 50th percentile, or median, is estimated to be 

0.014 ppm. This means that PDP estimates that at least 50 percent of bananas 

available to U.S. consumers had thiabendazole residues of 0.014 ppm or less, while at 

least 50 percent had residues of 0.014 ppm or more. Similarly, the 75th percentile (or 

the upper quartile) for this pair is estimated to be 0.036 ppm, which means that at least 

75 percent of bananas had thiabendazole residues of 0.036 ppm or less, while at least 

25 percent had residues of 0.036 ppm or more. Finally, the 90th percentile is 

estimated to be 0.066 ppm, meaning that at least 90 percent of all bananas had 

thiabendazole residues of 0.066 ppm or less, while at least 10 percent had residues of 

0.066 ppm or more. 

Percent detections and percentiles for bananas, carrots, cauliflower, 

cranberries, eggplant, orange juice, plums, spinach, and winter squash were weighted 

based on marketing data.

NOTES

1 Includes some pairs with detections in more than 10 percent of the samples, but with estimated detections in less than 

10 percent of the population. Excludes pairs with less than 100 sample observations, with observations from less than

three States, or with observations from less than six months of the year (except for fresh cranberries, which are

available almost exclusively in the winter).

2 The mean is estimated with a range of values. The lower bound is calculated with non-detections valued at zero. 

The upper bound is calculated using the LOD.

* The percentile value is estimated to be below the Limit of Detection (LOD)

(W) Weighted for utilization. The Percent of Samples with Detections was recalculated to reflect national estimates.

Appendix J. Page 2 of 2
Appendix K

Cumulative Distributions of Residues for Selected Pesticide/

Commodity Pairs

In Appendix K, the concentrations detected (in parts per million, except where 

otherwise noted) are plotted versus the calculated percentiles for the following 12 

pesticide/commodity pairs: 

Acetamiprid / Applesauce 

Imazalil / Bananas 

Pyraclostrobin / Carrots 

Trifluralin / Carrots 

Imidacloprid / Cauliflower 

Azoxystrobin / Cranberries 

Fludioxonil / Plums 

Chlorpropham / Frozen Potatoes 

Imidacloprid / Frozen Potatoes 

Boscalid / Raisins 

Dimethoate / Frozen Sweet Peas 

Chlorpyrifos methyl / Wheat 

The distribution of residues for all of the PDP pesticide/commodity pairs has the 

same curved shape. For each pesticide/commodity pair, the highest percentile 

graphed in the appendix (99th) is lower than the highest concentration detected in the 

sample (refer to the value shown in each graph’s legend). Inclusion of the highest 

concentration would cause graph distortion, which would obscure concentrations in the 

low ranges. The tolerance for the pesticide/commodity pair is also indicated in the 

legend of each graph. The large dots show the percentage of the commodity at or 

below a given level of residue concentration. For example, an estimated 50 percent of 

carrots available to U.S. consumers in 2006 had trifluralin residue concentrations of 

0.003 ppm or less. The solid lines, tailing the large dots, depict percentage values. 

The lowest value of these solid lines indicates the estimated percentage of the 

commodity available to U.S. consumers with no detectable residues. For trifluralin in 

carrots, this is 43 percent. The shaded bar denotes the range of values estimated for 

the mean. In some cases, there is convergence of the mean upper and lower bound 

into a single line due to the insignificant differences between them. For trifluralin in 

carrots, the mean range is approximately 0.021 – 0.025 ppm, corresponding to the

66th percentile.

Appendix K. Page 6 of 6 
Appendix L

Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample

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

detected per sample, excluding 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 12,921 samples 

analyzed, 46.1 percent of the samples had no detectable pesticides, 27.7 percent had 

1 pesticide, and 26.2 percent of the samples had more than 1 pesticide. 

This appendix reports the number of distinct pesticides rather than residues, as 

was reported in summaries prior to 2003. A parent compound and its metabolites are 

reported as a single pesticide. For example, a single application of the pesticide 

endosulfan may result in residues of the parent compound endosulfan I, its endosulfan 

II isomer, and its endosulfan sulfate metabolite. Thus, three residue detections could 

result from the use of a single pesticide. In the 2002 and previous summaries, the 

corresponding appendix would have counted these results as three distinct residues, 

while this appendix counts the findings as just one distinct pesticide.

NOTES

1

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

 as was reported in summaries prior to 2003. For example, a sample with positive detections for Endosulfan I, II, and sulfate

 would have been counted as three residues detected in the 2002 Appendix L. That same sample would be counted as just 

 one pesticide detected in this appendix.

Appendix M

Fruit and Vegetable Samples Reported to the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration as

Exceeding the Tolerance

or Without Established Tolerance

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

Appendix M shows residues reported to FDA as exceeding the tolerance or

residues for which no established tolerance was listed under the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Part 180. In 2006, a total of 412 samples with 442

residues were reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations.

A total of 30 fruit and vegetable samples and 1 wheat sample were found to

have residues at levels exceeding the established tolerance. Fruit and vegetable

samples containing a residue exceeding an established tolerance included 1 cranberry

sample, 3 eggplant samples, 1 collard green sample, 1 kale sample, 2 plum samples, 7

spinach samples, 13 watermelon samples, and 1 winter squash sample. Of those 31

samples, 12 were reported as imported produce.

In addition, 387 samples were found to have residues for which no tolerance

was established, including 304 fruit and vegetable samples, 13 poultry breast samples,

14 poultry thigh samples, and 56 wheat samples.

 367 samples contained 1 residue for which no tolerance was established.

 17 samples contained 2 residues for which no tolerance was established.

 2 samples contained 3 residues for which no tolerance was established.

 1 sample contained 4 residues for which no tolerance was established.

Six of the 387 samples also contained 1 residue each that exceeded an

established tolerance.

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

that were of domestic, import, or unknown origin for each pesticide/commodity pair

listed.

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

same sample. In instances where both parent and metabolite (or isomer) were

detected, PDP accounted for both as part of the same tolerance expression.
