Pesticide Data Program— Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2000

Preface

In 1991, the United States Department of

Agriculture (USDA) was charged with

implementing a program to collect data on

pesticide residues in food. The USDA Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) was appointed to

undertake the creation and implementation of such 

a program, currently known as the Pesticide Data

Program (PDP). PDP has been in operation since

May 1991 and has published its findings annually

since 1991. 

PDP planning and policy are formulated with the

support of various USDA agencies and the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Agencies from USDA include: AMS, the National

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the 

Economic Research Service (ERS), the

Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and the

Office of Pest Management Policy (OPMP).

PDP’s data on pesticides in selected commodities

strengthen the Government's ability to respond to

food safety and marketing concerns, to protect

public health, and to provide EPA with data needed 

to implement the Food Quality Protection Act

(FQPA) enacted by the U.S. Congress in August

1996. Title III Sec. 301© of FQPA states: “The 

Secretary of Agriculture shall ensure that the

residue data collection activities conducted by the

Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the

Environmental Protection Agency and the

Department of Health and Human Services,

provide for the improved data collection of

pesticide residues, including guidelines for the use 

of comparable analytical and standardized

reporting methods and increased sampling of foods 

most likely consumed by infants and children.” 

PDP has been actively involved on behalf of the

Department in the implementation of FQPA and

has participated in various public forums sponsored 

by the Tolerance Reassessment Advisory

Committee (TRAC) and its successor, the

Committee to Advise on Reassessment and

Transition (CARAT). Information obtained at

these forums allowed for careful planning of

program activities and projection of future data

needs. 

In estimating the potential risks of pesticide

residues in food, EPA uses a step-wise approach

that ensures pesticides are examined as closely as

necessary to understand their risks, but minimizes

the Agency’s resource expenditures. As an initial

assessment, EPA assumes that all acres of all crops 

are treated with all pesticides for which there is an 

approved use. EPA also assumes that residues in

treated crops are present at the maximum allowed

level. While such an assessment is easy and quick 

to generate, risk estimates based on these worst

case assumptions may significantly exceed the

actual risk from pesticide residues in the food

supply. Therefore, if the initial (worst case)

assessment indicates potential risks that would be

of concern, EPA refines its assessment using

available, reliable data. These refinements may

include using data on the percent of a crop treated 

with a pesticide; studies of the effects of washing,

cooking, processing, and storage; and residue

monitoring data. This is when PDP data can be

pivotal. PDP’s sampling procedures were designed 

to capture actual residues in the food supply as

close as possible to the time of consumption. The

data generated by PDP are more realistic than the

assumptions used in EPA’s initial risk assessments 

and are useful in refining dietary risks.

PDP operations are guided by recommendations

presented to the U.S. Congress by the National

Academy of Sciences (NAS) in the “Pesticides in

the Diets of Infants and Children” (National 

Research Council, National Academy Press,

Washington, DC, 1993). In that report, the

Academy examined scientific and policy issues that 

government agencies need to address when

regulating pesticide residues in foods and

recommended a new approach for assessing

pesticide risks for infants and children. The

approach requires availability of better information 

on food consumption patterns of infants and

children, pesticide residue data on foods most

consumed by infants and children, and toxicity data 

that specifically address vulnerability of this

population group. PDP concentrates its efforts in 

providing better pesticide residue data on foods

most consumed by children. 

In 2000, PDP conducted a special study on single 

servings of peaches to supplement similar studies

in apples and pears conducted in 1999. The 2000 

data also covers more metabolites and degradates

Pesticide Data Program— Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2000

Executive Summary

The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) was

implemented by USDA in May 1991 to collect data 

on pesticide residues in foods. The data are 

released annually on a calendar year basis in the

form of summaries and through the Internet. This

publication summarizes PDP results for 2000. 

PDP data are used by EPA, FDA, ERS, the

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), and

various groups within the private sector. EPA uses 

PDP data to refine estimates of dietary exposure as 

part of the pesticide reregistration process under

FQPA. PDP data are also used by the government 

and agricultural community to examine residue

issues which may affect agricultural practices and

U.S. trade. Recent uses of PDP data include

targeting crops that need pesticide alternatives,

promoting export of U.S. commodities in a

competitive global market, and addressing food

safety concerns.

Program operations were carried out with the

support of 10 states: California, Florida, Michigan, 

New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington for

collection and analysis of samples, and Colorado,

Maryland, and Wisconsin for sample collection

only (samples are shipped to other State and

Federal laboratories for analysis). Federal

laboratories providing testing services include the

GIPSA Laboratory, the AMS Eastern Laboratory,

and the APHIS National Monitoring and Residue

Analysis Laboratory. The AMS Science and

Technology program is responsible for PDP dayto-day administrative, sampling, technical, and

database activities.

PDP sampling protocol standard operating 

procedures define the frequency, number of

samples, and criteria for selection of sampling sites. 

This sampling design makes PDP data valuable for 

dietary exposure assessments. Samples are taken

close to the time and point of consumption and

sample origin is captured when available. 

Pesticides and commodities are chosen based on

EPA's data needs and USDA's food consumption

surveys. 

 

Samples collected by each State are apportioned

according to the State’s population. The normal

monthly sampling rate is 62 samples per

commodity, except for highly seasonal

commodities. For seasonal commodities, sampling 

rates are adjusted to reflect market availability, and 

sample collection is limited to the season when the 

commodity is available. This adjusted sampling

rate ranges from half to triple the normal sampling 

rate. Samples are randomly chosen without regard 

for commodity origin and reflect what is typically

available to the consumer throughout the year. 

PDP's sampling site selection criteria takes into

account the different volumes of product

distributed annually from each sampling site. 

In 2000, in addition to routine operations, PDP

conducted a poultry survey and a peach single

serving survey. For the poultry survey, PDP

engaged the support of the USDA FSIS. More than 

1,100 poultry samples consisting of muscle,

adipose, and liver tissues were collected at major

production plants throughout the United States. 

For the peach survey, sample preparation and

testing were modified to provide data for acute

exposure assessment. Sample collection occurred

during the 9 months of the year when peaches are

available, which included domestic and imported 

products. PDP analyzed 534 individual peaches

and 536 composite samples. 

PDP tested fresh and processed fruit and

vegetables, peanut butter, poultry, and rice for

various insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and

growth regulators. Commodities sampled in 2000

were apples, cantaloupes, carrots, cherries,

cucumbers, grapes, green beans, lettuce, nectarines, 

oranges, peaches (single servings and composites), 

peanut butter, pears (canned), pineapples, potatoes, 

rice, strawberries, (fresh and frozen), sweet bell

peppers, tomatoes (canned), and poultry.

PDP collected and analyzed a total of 10,907

samples in 2000: 8,912 fruit and vegetables, 178

rice, 716 peanut butter, and 1,101 poultry tissues

(476 adipose, 480 liver, and 145 muscle) samples. 

Samples originated from 38 States and 21 foreign

countries. Approximately 80 percent of all samples 

were domestic, 19 percent were imported, and less 

than 1 percent of unknown origin. Cantaloupes,

cucumbers, grapes, green beans, peaches, and

sweet bell peppers accounted for most of the

imports. All cherries in the program were domestic

produce. Overall, approximately 42 percent of all

samples contained no detectable residues, 22

percent contained 1 residue, and 35 percent

contained more than 1 residue. Less residues were 

detected in poultry, processed products, and grains 

than in fresh commodities: 97 percent of poultry

tissues, 93 percent of canned pears, 89 percent of

canned tomatoes, 74 percent of peanut butter, and

67 percent of rice of samples were found to contain 

no detectable residues. Overall, the range of

concentrations detected on individual peaches was

similar to that of composite samples. Low levels of 

environmental contaminants were detected in

cantaloupes, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, and

poultry adipose tissues. However, the concentrations detected were below levels that trigger

regulatory actions.

Residues exceeding the pesticide tolerance were

detected in 0.2 percent of all composite samples 

testing during 2000. Residues with no tolerance

listed in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title

40, Part 180, were found in 1.2 percent of all

samples. These residues were detected at low

concentrations and may be due to spray drift, crop

rotations, or cross contamination at packing

facilities. PDP reports these findings to FDA as

soon as they are received. A tolerance is the

maximum quantity of a pesticide residue allowable 

on a raw agricultural commodity. Violative

residues are defined as residues exceeding the

tolerance or residues at levels of regulatory

significance for which no tolerance has been

established for that particular crop.

PDP laboratories maintain an ongoing verification

of limits of detection (LODs) for each compound

screened. These data are used by EPA to calculate 

exposure contributed by samples reported as “nondetects,” or not containing a residue above a stated 

LOD.

 

PDP continuously strives to improve methods for

the collection, testing, and reporting of data. PDP

data are available to EPA and other Federal and

State agencies charged with regulating and setting

policies on the use of pesticides. Copies of the

summary may be obtained by calling the

Monitoring Programs Office at (703) 330-2300 or

I. Introduction

This is the tenth annual summary of the USDA PDP 

results. The previous summaries of PDP data for 

calendar years 1991-1999 are posted at www.ams.

usda.gov/science/pdp (1993-1999) or are available as 

hard copies (1991-1999) on request. 

 

PDP pools the expertise available in AMS, NASS, 

ERS, and ARS to achieve its goals and objectives. 

NASS provides statistically reliable data on chemical 

usage at the State level and collects economic input 

data that link chemical usage with economic 

characteristics. ERS analyzes AMS and NASS data 

to understand producer behavior and to determine the 

impact various production practices, policies, and 

regulations might have on the Nation's agricultural 

production, food supply, and consumers. ARS 

conducts nationwide surveys of food intake by 

individuals and translates data on foods as consumed 

into portions of raw agricultural commodities that 

can be linked with pesticide residue data. AMS, 

through its Science and Technology program, 

oversees PDP’s policies and planning. 

The program’s three major components--sample 

collection, laboratory analysis, and database 

management--are shown in Figure 1, Overview of 

PDP Management and Operations. Except for 

poultry, all 2000 samples were collected by 10 States 

(California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, 

New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and 

Wisconsin) through cooperative agreements with 

their respective agencies. Poultry samples were 

collected through the USDA’s Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS). Laboratory services were 

provided by seven States (California, Florida, 

Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington) 

and three Federal laboratories (AMS Eastern 

Laboratory, GIPSA Technical Services Division, and 

APHIS National Monitoring and Residue Analysis 

Laboratory). Sampling, testing, and database daily 

operations are managed by PDP staff in Manassas, 

Virginia. 

The ten States participating in the program and 

neighboring States (Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, 

Hawaii, Idaho, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, 

New Mexico, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming) in 

their direct distribution network are shown in Figure 

2. Collectively these States represent about 50 percent of the Nation's population and all four census 

regions of the United States; they also represent the 

major producers of fruit and vegetables. The origin 

of commodities--domestic, imports, and unknown--is 

shown in Figure 3. The states with major poultry 

processing plants where samples were collected by 

FSIS from 167 sites are shown in Figure 4. These 

sites represent approximately 96 percent of the 

United States production of young chickens. 

AMS works closely with EPA to select the 

commodities and pesticides to be placed in PDP. 

Commodities chosen for inclusion are those most 

often consumed by the American public, with 

emphasis on those consumed by infants and children. 

During 2000, 21 commodities (apples, cantaloupe, 

carrots, cherries, cucumbers, grapes, green beans, 

lettuce, nectarines, oranges, peaches, canned pears, 

pineapples, potatoes, fresh strawberries, frozen 

strawberries, sweet bell peppers, canned tomatoes, 

peanut butter, poultry, and rice) were sampled and 

analyzed. Pesticides screened by PDP include 

compounds for which toxicity data and preliminary 

estimates of dietary exposure indicate the need for 

more refined exposure estimates. In 2000, PDP also 

monitored pesticides for which mitigation measures 

(e.g., reduced application rates) have been put in 

place by the EPA. PDP revises its analytes and 

commodities periodically to address EPA’s data 

needs. 

PDP has an important role in the implementation of 

FQPA. This law, enacted by the United States Congress in 1996, directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 

collect pesticide residue data on commodities highly 

consumed by infants and children. PDP data are used 

by EPA to review the safety of existing tolerances 

(maximum residue limits) that were in effect when

FQPA was passed. Other government agencies and 

industry have used PDP data to promote the export of 

United States commodities to international markets. 

Customized queries of the PDP database were 

requested from various sources to support risk 

assessment and pesticide information priorities. For 

example, PDP had generated customized datasets and 

reports for EPA, other Federal and State agencies, 

grower groups, chemical manufacturers, and 

universities to provide residue findings for specific 

commodity/compound pairs sorted by such data 

elements as sample origin, product type, and date of 

collection. 

 

PDP has also provided information to the Codex 

Alimentarius Commission, European Union 

members, and the World Health Organization on

methods of analysis, and the PDP Proficiency 

Evaluation Sample program. 

Fruit and vegetable samples are collected at sites as 

close to the time and point of consumption as 

possible. These sites include terminal markets and 

large chain store distribution centers from which food 

commodities are released 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 degradation of 

these chemicals 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 2000, 633 sampling sites 

(including poultry slaughter plants) granted access 

and provided information to sample collectors. Their

cooperation made it possible to adjust sampling 

protocols in response to fluctuations in food 

distribution and production. 

Because PDP’s main objective is to collect data for 

risk assessment evaluations, program operations 

differ markedly from those followed by regulatory 

monitoring programs for tolerance enforcement. 

PDP samples are collected close to the point of 

consumption and are prepared emulating consumer 

practices. Sampling is based on EPA data needs and 

does not interfere with commodity distribution. 

Laboratory operations are geared towards achieving 

the lowest detectable levels rather than quick sample 

turn around, and pesticides tested are mainly those 

with registered uses in the commodity(ies) rather 

than screening for all potential illegal residues. A 

chronological history of the commodities in PDP 

from program inception through 2002 is shown in 

Appendix A. 

II. Sampling Operations

i Background

The goal of the PDP fruit and vegetable sampling 

program is to randomly select samples from the 

national food distribution system to represent 

pesticide residues in the United States food supply. 

To accomplish this goal, PDP uses sampling 

protocols that are statistically reliable and adheres to 

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to safeguard 

sample integrity. Samples are collected by trained 

inspectors as close to the point of consumption as 

possible at sites where sample identity is still 

available. Samples at these locations will reflect any 

pesticide degradation that occurs during transit and 

storage. These samples will also have been treated 

with any postharvest applications of fungicides and 

growth regulators at this point in the food distribution 

system. In this manner, these samples will result in 

data that reflect the consumer’s actual pesticide 

residue exposure. 

PDP sampling operations are adjusted according to 

product availability. For food commodities, the 

number of samples collected is determined by State 

population (fruit and vegetables) or commodity 

production figures (grains). For seasonal commodities, this number is adjusted to one-half, single, 

double, or triple rates. This adjustment reflects 

market availability and ensures collection of a 

significant number of samples during the short 

periods the commodity is available. In addition to 

seasonal availability, some commodities were 

sampled only part of the calendar year because the 

commodity had been sampled for the standard time in 

the program (generally 2 years). For 2000, the 

commodity sampling schedule was as follows: fresh 

cantaloupe, canned pears, canned tomatoes collected 

January-June; fresh peaches and strawberries 

collected January-September; fresh cherries collected 

May 15-August 18; nectarines collected JulySeptember; fresh potatoes and pineapples collected 

July-December; apples, carrots, and rice collected 

October-December. Sample sizes for all fresh fruit 

and vegetables are from 3-pounds to 7-pounds. 

Processed commodities (canned and frozen) are 3-

pounds. Rice and peanut butter samples are 1-pound. 

SOPs provide criteria for site selection and specific 

instructions for sample selection, shipping and 

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

updated as needed and serve as a technical reference 

in conducting program sampling reviews to ensure 

that program goals and objectives are met. 

Sample Information Forms are used to document 

information required for chain-of-custody of PDP 

samples. Sample collectors record information such 

as the: (1) State of sample collection; (2) collection 

date; (3) sampling site (four-digit code); (4) commodity code; and (5) testing laboratory code. These five 

pieces of information are combined to form a unique 

sample identification number, which is used for 

recording in the PDP database. Any additional 

pertinent information related to sampling can also be 

recorded, such as whether the sample is domestic or 

imported (including the country of origin). The 

forms are also used to keep track of any samples that 

are not collected, lost in transit, or damaged and 

unsuitable for analysis when received at the 

laboratory. 

Statistical support for all sampling operations is 

provided by USDA NASS. Close correlations are 

found between PDP sample origin data and independent estimates of commodity production figures by 

the States. This correlation is also found in a 

comparison of PDP import data with that from 

independent sources. Consequently, data collected 

under this sampling approach can be considered 

representative of actual pesticide residues in the 

United States food supply.

In 2000, PDP modified its program operations to have 

laboratories specialize in a few commodities rather 

than analyze all of the PDP commodities from their 

region. Therefore, with the exception of California, 

all samples of a commodity collected for PDP 

throughout the nation are sent to a single laboratory. 

This arrangement created larger sample sets, increased 

laboratory productivity and efficiency, reduced 

quality control costs, and reduced loss of samples. 

i Fresh/Processed Fruit and Vegetables 

Fruit and vegetables, including fresh and processed 

products, comprised about 80 percent of all samples 

collected. Fresh commodities collected in 2000 were 

apples, cantaloupes, carrots, cherries, cucumbers, 

grapes, green beans, lettuce, nectarines, oranges, 

peaches, pineapples, potatoes, strawberries, and sweet 

bell peppers. Processed commodities were canned 

pears, frozen strawberries, peanut butter, rice, and 

canned tomatoes. Samples were collected at either 

terminal markets or large chain store distribution 

centers. Participating State agencies were responsible 

for compiling and maintaining lists of sampling sites. 

After establishing their site lists, States were required 

to provide AMS and NASS with annual volume 

information for each site (quantity of commodity 

distributed in 1 year). This information is used to 

weight the site to determine the probability for 

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 may be given to a site that 

distributes 10,000 pounds of produce. The 

probability-proportionate-to-size method of site 

selection then results in the larger site (distributing 

100,000 pounds) being 10 times more likely to be 

selected for sampling than the smaller site 

(distributing 10,000 pounds). Participating States are 

required to work with NASS to develop their 

statistical procedures for site weighting and selection. 

States are also given the option of having NASS 

perform their quarterly site selection for them. The 

number of sampling sites and the volume of produce 

distributed by the sites vary greatly between States. 

Sampling plans that included sampling dates, sites 

(primary and alternate), targeted commodities, and 

testing laboratories were prepared by States on a 

quarterly basis (3-month period). Collection of 

commodities was randomly assigned to weeks of the 

month, prior to selecting specific sampling dates 

within the week. Because sampling sites were 

selected for the entire quarter, States were allowed to 

assign the sites to particular months based on 

geographic location. 

State population figures were used to assign the 

number of fruit and vegetable samples scheduled for 

collection each month. These population-based 

numbers were as follows: 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 of each 

commodity per year). In addition to routine collection targets, an adjusted sample collection framework (weighted sampling scheme) was used to 

compensate for the seasonality of selected commodities. Under this weighted scheme, cantaloupe 

samples were collected at one-half, single, and double 

the routine monthly rate to reflect market availability. 

A similar approach was used for processed 

commodities, where the ratio of fresh/frozen and juice 

concentrate/ready-to-serve samples was adjusted to 

reflect consumption figures. The resulting data are 

expected to more accurately mirror changes in United 

States consumption patterns based on commodity 

availability. 

A total of 8,912 fresh and frozen fruit and vegetable 

samples were collected and analyzed during 2000 (see 

Table 1 for the number of samples collected per 

State). Figure 3 shows the total number of samples 

per commodity and the percentage of each that were 

either domestic, imported, mixed national, or of 

unknown origin. Appendix B provides a more 

detailed breakdown of sample origin by State or 

country. Fruit and vegetable samples originated from 

38 States and 21 foreign countries. 

i Peach Single Serving Survey

Samples for the survey on single servings of peaches 

were collected using the fruit and vegetable sampling 

frame and followed routine collection procedures. 

Five-pound samples were collected from randomly 

selected pallets at the sites, bagged, and sent to the 

laboratory for analysis. On receipt, one peach from 

each 5-pound sample was chosen for the single 

serving analysis. The remaining sample was tested as 

a composite. Data from this survey can be used in 

probabilistic analysis to estimate acute (short-term) 

risk to pesticides resulting from a single eating 

occasion. A total of 534 single serving peach samples 

were analyzed for 100 pesticides plus 38 

corresponding metabolite, degradates, and isomers.

informed decisions on dietary risk exposures to 

pesticide residues resulting from the consumption of 

poultry products. Residues may result from 

pesticides applied directly to livestock, to crops or 

crop parts used for feed, or when livestock premises 

are treated. 

Sample collection activities are performed by USDA 

FSIS personnel located in Federally inspected 

slaughter facilities throughout the United States. 

FSIS shipped the samples to the AMS Eastern 

Laboratory, Gastonia, North Carolina, for 

multiresidue analysis. Each sample consisted of 

adipose, liver, and muscle tissues. A minimum of 1-

pound per tissue was required. 

FSIS provided AMS with a list of sites and 

production volume data. As with the PDP fresh fruit 

and vegetable site selection protocol, the annual 

volume data was used to weight the site to determine 

the probability of selection. Consequently, larger 

producing sites were sampled more frequently 

throughout the duration of the survey. 

In total, 476 adipose tissues, 480 liver tissues, and 

145 muscle tissues were collected and analyzed. 

FSIS collected samples from 167 Federally inspected 

poultry slaughter facilities. Figure 4 shows the origin 

of the 480 liver tissue samples. 

i Peanut Butter

PDP collected and analyzed 716 peanut butter 

samples. Samples were collected from routine PDP 

sampling sites, which include major distribution 

centers and terminal markets. Analysis was 

performed by the GIPSA Technical Services Division 

laboratory located in Kansas City, Missouri. Only 

“creamy style” peanut butter samples containing no 

less than 90 percent peanuts were collected. Styles 

such as chunky, old fashioned, and jelly mixes were 

excluded. 

i Rice

PDP collected 178 rice samples (enriched milled 

rice). Samples were collected from routine PDP 

sampling sites, which include major distribution 

centers and terminal markets. Analysis was 

performed by the GIPSA Technical Services Division 

laboratory located in Kansas City, Missouri. Results 

are shown in Appendix H.

III. Laboratory Operations

i Overview 

Eleven laboratories (8 State and 3 Federal) performed 

analyses for PDP during 2000. These laboratories 

are equipped with instrumentation capable of 

detecting residues at very low levels. The laboratory 

staff 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. 

i Fresh/Processed Fruit and Vegetables

PDP laboratories monitored 134 pesticides plus 48 

metabolites, degradates, and isomers in fruit and 

vegetables using multiresidue methods (MRMs) and 

2 pesticides by single or selective residue methods 

(SRMs). On 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 then 

prepared emulating the practices of the average 

consumer to more closely represent actual exposure 

to residues. Fresh samples are prepared as follows: 

(1) apples are washed with stems and cores removed; 

(2) cantaloupes are cut in half and seeds and rinds 

removed; (3) carrots are washed with stem cap 

portions removed; (4) cucumbers, lettuce, and 

potatoes are washed with inedibles removed; (5) 

grapes, green beans, and strawberries are washed 

with stems and leaves removed; (6) cherries, 

nectarines, and peaches are washed, stems and leaves 

removed, and pitted; (7) oranges are peeled; (8) 

pineapples are washed with tops, cores, and shells 

removed; and (9) sweet bell peppers are washed with 

stems, cores, and seeds removed. For processed fruit 

and vegetables, canned and frozen products are 

homogenized with their entire contents, including 

any liquid present. Laboratories are permitted to 

refrigerate fresh incoming 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 can

procedures and analysis for identified compounds was 

performed utilizing tandem mass spectrometry, 

selective detectors, or post-column derivatization, highperformance liquid chromatography detection systems. 

Verification was accomplished by various forms of 

mass spectrometry or by alternate detection systems, 

depending on the concentration reported. 

i Peanut Butter

The USDA Kansas City, Missouri, GIPSA laboratory 

monitored peanut butter samples for 43 pesticides with 

established tolerances in peanuts plus 13 metabolites 

and isomers. On arrival at the testing facility, samples 

were visually examined for acceptability and discarded 

if leaking, spoiled, or otherwise inedible. Peanut butter 

samples were refrigerated at 10oC, 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 supercritical fluid extraction (a 

solventless system) coupled with mass spectrometry 

detection or post-column derivatization, highperformance liquid chromatography detection systems. 

i Rice

The USDA Kansas City, Missouri, GIPSA laboratory 

monitored rice samples for 32 pesticides with 

established tolerances in rice plus 7 metabolites and 

isomers. On arrival at the testing facility, samples were 

visually examined for acceptability and discarded if 

spoiled or otherwise inedible. Rice samples were 

refrigerated at 10oC, or lower, until homogenization; 

they were then ground and analyzed. 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 rice 

samples was accomplished using supercritical fluid 

extraction coupled with mass spectrometry detection or 

post-column derivatization, high-performance liquid 

chromatography detection systems. 

i Poultry

The USDA AMS Eastern Laboratory, Gastonia, North 

Carolina, monitored poultry adipose, liver, and muscle 

tissues for 72 pesticides plus 25 metabolites, 

degradates, and isomers. On arrival at the testing 

facility, samples were visually examined for acceptability and discarded if warm to the touch, spoiled, or 

leaking. Poultry tissues were frozen at 0o C, or lower, 

be held in storage (freezer or shelf) until the entire 

sample set is ready for analysis. 

Samples are homogenized using choppers and/or 

blenders and separated into analytical portions 

(aliquots) for analysis. If testing cannot be performed 

immediately, the entire analytical set is frozen at -40oC, 

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, variations and 

combinations of the FDA Luke I (Section 302 of PAM 

I) and Luke II (FDA’s Laboratory Information Bulletin 

3896) extraction procedures are used by PDP 

laboratories in Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Texas. 

California, Florida, and Washington use modifications 

of the MRM developed by the California Department 

of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). All MRMs were 

determined, through method validation procedures, to 

produce equivalent data for PDP analytical purposes. 

Residues are extracted from samples with the use of 

organic solvents followed by various cleanup 

procedures. SRMs, when used for detecting benomyl 

and formetanate, were independently validated by the 

laboratory performing the analysis. 

Various types of chromatography are used for the 

initial identification and quantitation of pesticides. All 

residues initially identified must be verified. Verification is accomplished by various forms of mass 

spectrometry or alternate detection systems, depending 

on the concentration reported. LODs for various 

selective detectors are generally lower than those 

achieved by mass spectrometry. Verification is deemed 

necessary due to the complexity of commodity matrices 

and the low concentration levels of detected residues. 

The verification process provides an extra measure of 

confidence in the identification of both the pesticide 

residue and its concentration. 

i Peach Single Serving Survey 

The New York State laboratory analyzed single serving 

and composite peach samples for 100 pesticides plus 38 

corresponding metabolites, degradates, and isomers. 

On receipt of composite peach samples for multiresidue 

analysis, an individual peach was randomly selected 

from each 5-pound sample, prepared, and analyzed 

according to PDP procedures. Single serving samples 

were extracted using established multiresidue

i Electronic Data Life-Cycle

 

In 1994, PDP implemented the Remote Data Entry 

(RDE) system, which is a customized software 

application. RDE provides interactive data entry 

screens to participating State and Federal laboratories. 

The residue monitoring data are then electronically 

transmitted to PDP headquarters via modem and 

standard telephone lines. Before the implementation 

of RDE, all data collected from PDP laboratories 

arrived in paper format, requiring an exhausting data 

entry process by PDP headquarters staff. 

The RDE data entry screens have extensive edits and 

cross-checks built in to ensure that valid values are 

entered for all critical data element fields. 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 makes it easy to perform ad-hoc queries 

(data searches) on the database. The data entry 

screens also perform edits on numeric fields, dates, 

and other character fields to ensure that entries are 

within prescribed boundaries. 

Several methods of control are employed by the RDE 

system to protect the security and integrity of the data. 

At the laboratory, the system includes a check to 

ensure that a set of data (for 1 commodity for 1 

month) has been reviewed and approved for release by 

a responsible reviewing officer. This greatly reduces 

the chance of receiving incomplete or invalid data. 

After one or more data sets are selected for electronic 

transfer to PDP headquarters, the data for those sets 

are written to separate files and those files are 

encrypted (scrambled) as a security measure. Also 

prior to electronic transfer, a digital signature file is 

created to accompany each of the data files. The 

digital signature file captures a “picture” of the data 

along with a private key code unique to the 

participating laboratory. After the digital data files are 

received at PDP headquarters and are moved to a 

secure network drive, the files are decrypted 

(unscrambled). The validation of the digital signature 

attached to the data files ensures that the sender is an 

authorized participating laboratory and that the data 

files have not been altered or corrupted, intentionally 

or otherwise. 

until homogenization. Tissues were ground with dry 

ice, extracted, and cleaned up utilizing gel permeation 

chromatography. Surplus sample aliquots, not used 

for the initial testing, were retained frozen in the event 

that replication of analysis or verification testing was 

required. Samples were analyzed using mass 

spectrometry detection, selective detectors, or postcolumn derivatization, high-performance liquid 

chromatography detection systems.

i Quality Assurance Program 

The main objectives of the quality assurance/quality 

control (QA/QC) program are to ensure the reliability 

of PDP data and the performance equivalency of the 

participating laboratories. Direction for PDP's QA 

program is provided through SOPs based on EPA's 

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). A QA Committee, comprised of program Quality Assurance Officers 

(QAOs), is responsible for annually reviewing 

program SOPs and addressing QA issues. For day-today quality assurance oversight, PDP relies on the 

Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) at each participating 

facility. As required under EPA GLPs, the QAU 

operates independently from the laboratory staff. 

Preliminary QA/QC review procedures are performed 

on-site by each laboratory's QAU. Final review procedures are performed by PDP staff who are responsible 

for collating and reviewing data for conformance with 

SOPs. Additionally, PDP staff also monitor the 

participants' performance through proficiency 

evaluation samples, QAU quarterly internal reviews, 

and on-site visits. Additional information on the PDP 

QA program is provided in Appendix C. 

IV. Database Management

PDP maintains an electronic database which serves as 

a central repository for its residue monitoring data. 

The central database resides at PDP, Monitoring 

Programs Office, Manassas, Virginia. The data 

captured and stored in the PDP database include 

product information, residue findings, and process 

control recoveries for each sample collected and 

analyzed along with QA/QC recoveries for each group 

or set of samples. Each calendar year survey is stored 

in a separate database structure, allowing for easier 

administration and reporting of data. The PDP data 

life-cycle is depicted in Figure 5.

At PDP headquarters, the RDE system allows the staff 

chemists to review the data on-screen and then to 

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

database. The upload routine launched from the RDE 

system converts and passes the data to the PDP 

database. The database is presently maintained using 

Microsoft Access in a Windows 2000/NT 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 back-ups are done each night and back-up 

tapes are sent to off-site storage once a week. 

i Data Reporting 

The PDP staff receives and responds to requests for 

data from government agencies and interested outside 

parties. Ad-hoc queries and custom reports are 

generated to fill such data 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 

most database management software package. 

V. Sample Results and Discussion

i Sample Results

In 2000, PDP conducted surveys on various foods 

including fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, 

peanut butter, rice, and poultry tissues. Of the 10,907 

samples collected and analyzed, 8,912 were fruit and 

vegetable commodities, 716 were peanut butter, 178 

were enriched milled rice, and 1,101 were poultry 

tissues. Approximately 67 percent of the fruit and 

vegetable samples (domestic and imports) had 

detectable pesticide residues. Pesticide residues were 

also detected in 33 percent of the rice samples, 26 

percent peanut butter samples, and 3 percent in poultry 

tissues. Approximately 80 percent of all samples were 

domestic and 19 percent were imports (less than 1% 

were of unknown origin). Imports were fruit and 

vegetable commodities. A comparison of residues for 

selected commodities with a significant import 

component is provided in Appendix D. 

Appendix E shows residue findings for fruit and 

vegetables including tolerance violations, minimum 

and maximum concentrations detected, LODs, EPA 

tolerances, and, when applicable, Codex Alimentarius 

maximum residue limits (MRLs) and extraneous 

maximum residue limits (EMRLs). Appendix F shows 

results of the peach single serving survey, including 

concentrations detected in composite samples and the 

corresponding single servings for selected samples 

and pesticides. Appendices G, H, and I depict similar 

information as Appendix E for peanut butter, rice, and 

poultry respectively. Table 2 gives an overview of the 

number of residue detections per commodity class. 

The PDP data, as well as other monitoring data, are 

used to refine estimates of dietary exposure to 

pesticides. EPA uses all data reported by PDP, 

including sample results reported as below the LOD. 

PDP laboratories are required to establish LODs and 

to report any instrumental response below the LOD 

as a non-detect. LODs are established experimentally for each pesticide/commodity pair and are 

reported with each data set. Non-detects can be used 

in conjunction with percent crop treated data to 

determine what proportion of these values may be 

zeroes. Overall, 43 percent of the samples were 

reported as below the LOD (non-detects) and for 

samples with residues, most detections were below 

established tolerances. 

 

i National Estimates

 

As discussed in Section II, the PDP sampling frame 

incorporates population figures in participating States 

(representing approximately 50 percent of the 

Nation’s population). There are little or no significant 

differences in residue estimates across these States 

and, it can be inferred, across all States. Potentially 

more critical are differences in the residue content of 

fresh commodities across months and differences 

across types of processed commodities (e.g., frozen 

vs. canned tomatoes). When available, data on the 

amount of produce moving through wholesale food 

distributors are used to compute nearly unbiased 

estimates of pesticide residues in PDP commodities at 

the National level. 

National estimates for selected pesticide/commodity 

pairs (including metabolites, degradates, and isomers

product preparation. A comparison of residues for 

fresh and processed products is shown in Table 3. 

Data used for this table are the most recent data 

collected by PDP for the processed product and 

2000 data for the corresponding fresh product. 

Captan was detected in 28 percent of fresh grapes in 

concentrations ranging from 0.013-0.75 parts per 

million (ppm), whereas no residues were detected in 

any of the grape juice samples. Similarly, myclobutanil was reported in fresh grapes at 20 percent, 

but was not detected in grape juice. In contrast, 

carbaryl was reported in 41 percent of grape juice 

samples, a much higher detection rate than the 4 

percent detected in fresh grapes. For fresh green 

beans, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, and endosulfan 

sulfate were detected at 19, 13, and 27 percent of the 

samples respectively, whereas no detections were 

reported in any of the canned or frozen green beans 

tested. Detection rates for imazalil and thiabendazole in fresh oranges were also significantly 

higher than in orange juice. 

i Postharvest Applications

Pesticides can be applied before and after harvest 

depending on the crop and approved label use. PDP 

data captures both pre- and postharvest uses because 

samples are collected at points where all pesticide 

applications have already taken place. Pesticides 

with postharvest uses are fungicides and selected 

herbicides (plant growth regulators). According to 

USDA NASS and ERS surveys (Agricultural 

Chemical Usage 1999 Field Crops Summary, May 

2000; Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Field 

Crops Summary, May 2001; Agricultural Chemical 

Usage 1998 Vegetable Summary, July 1999; 

Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Vegetable 

Summary, July 2001; and Agricultural Chemical 

Usage 1999 Fruit and Nut Summary, July 2000), use 

of fungicides comprised about 32 percent of total 

United States pesticide usage on PDP fruit and 

vegetable crops. However, about 37 percent of PDP 

detections in fruit and vegetables (fresh and 

processed) were for residues of fungicides. The 

inconsistency between usage and residue data may 

be due largely to fungicides applied after harvest to 

preserve crops during long term storage. These 

postharvest applications may result in higher 

detection rates because environmental factors (such 

as rainfall, sunlight, temperature, and wind) that 

promote residue dissipation are not applicable to 

crops that are in storage. Detections reported by 

of pesticides) with detectable residues in at least 10 

percent of the samples tested are shown in Appendix 

J. A range of values for the sample mean (average) 

residue concentration for each pair is provided. The 

lower value for the range was determined by treating a 

sample without detectable residues as if it had a 

residue concentration equal to zero. The upper value 

for the range was 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 pairs are shown. The ratio 

of the 90th percentile to the tolerance, as a normalization factor, is also provided. These ratios show 

that, in most cases, the levels of detected residues are 

a small fraction of the tolerances for the listed 

pesticide/commodity pairs. Percent detections and 

percentiles for fresh apples, cantaloupe, carrots, 

cherries, cucumbers, grapes, green beans, lettuce, 

nectarines, oranges, peaches, potatoes, strawberries, 

and sweet bell peppers were weighted to reflect 1998 

marketing data. No weighting adjustments were made 

for peanut butter and rice because marketing data were 

not available. 

 

The estimated distributions of eight representative 

pesticide/commodity pairs is displayed in Appendix 

K. 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. These pesticide/commodity pairs are carbaryl/

cherries, myclobutanil/cherries, endosulfan sulfate/

cucumbers, iprodione/grapes, methamidophos/green 

beans, imazalil/oranges, phosmet/peaches, and captan/

strawberries (fresh). In some cases, there is 

convergence of the upper and lower bound into a 

single line, because the use of zero or the LOD for 

non-detected values becomes insignificant. These 

graphs visually demonstrate that the overwhelming 

majority of pesticide testing results and the respective 

means (average values) are at low concentrations. 

 

i Fresh vs. Processed

 

The 2000 data show that residue profiles for fresh 

products are significantly different than for processed 

products. Various factors may explain these 

differences in residue profiles. Raw agricultural 

commodities, if specifically grown for processing, are 

likely to receive different chemical treatments than 

fresh market products. Another factor affecting 

residue concentration or reduction may be a direct 

result of processing effects such as heat, time, and

PDP in Appendix E that were most likely generated by 

postharvest applications in the raw agricultural 

commodity include residues of the fungicides dicloran 

(nectarines and peaches), imazalil (oranges), iprodione 

(carrots, cherries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, and 

strawberries), and thiabendazole (apples and oranges). 

The postharvest use of chlorpropham as a growth 

regulator (sprout inhibitor) on potatoes accounts for 

the 65 percent detection rate obtained by PDP. 

 

i Environmental Contaminants

DDT, DDD, and DDE

A total of 8,907 fruit and vegetables, 716 peanut 

butter, 178 rice, and 476 poultry samples were 

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

DDT metabolites tested include DDE o,p’, DDD o,p’, 

and DDD p,p’. Use of DDT has been prohibited in the 

United States since 1972. However, due to the 

persistence of this chemical in the environment, 

residues of the DDE p,p’ metabolite were detected in 

0.8 percent of the 10,277 samples tested. Residues of 

DDE p,p’ were found primarily in carrots (22.3 

percent), potatoes (2.4 percent), and poultry adipose 

(2.1 percent) samples. No residues of DDT or its 

metabolites were detected in any of the rice samples 

tested. All detections of DDT metabolites were below 

the established action levels. 

OTHER EXTRANEOUS PESTICIDES

All aldrin, dieldrin (also a metabolite of aldrin), 

heptachlor, and chlordane uses (except termiticide 

uses) were canceled for use in the United States in 

1974, 1978, and 1986, respectively. However, 

residues of chlordane, dieldrin, and heptachlor 

epoxide (metabolite of heptachlor) were detected in 

cucumber and winter squash samples. Dieldrin was 

found in 16.3 percent of cucumbers, 4.4 percent of 

cantaloupe, 2.7 percent of carrots, and less than 1 

percent of potato samples. Heptachlor epoxide was 

detected in 1.1 percent of cucumbers and less than 1 

percent of carrots. Chlordane cis and trans were also 

detected in carrots, both at 2.3 percent (Appendix E). 

All detections were below the established action 

levels. 

i Single/Selective Residue Analyses

BENOMYL

 A total of 1,650 samples (410 cantaloupe, 367 

cucumbers, 513 fresh/frozen strawberries, and 360 

sweet bell peppers) were tested for benomyl, as the 

carbendazim metabolite. Carbendazim residues were 

detected in 18 percent of the strawberries, in 1.4 

percent of sweet bell peppers, 0.3 percent of 

cucumbers, and 0.2 percent of cantaloupe. There was 

one detection in sweet bell peppers that exceeded the 

established tolerance. All other detections were at 

levels below the established tolerances. 

FORMETANATE

A total of 1,032 samples (173 apples, 333 nectarines, 

and 526 oranges) were tested for formetanate. 

Formetanate residues were detected in 15.6 percent of 

the nectarines and 0.2 percent of the oranges. There 

were no detections in apples. All detections were at 

levels well below the established tolerances. 

i Multiple Residue Detections

The PDP database provides information that can be 

used by EPA in evaluating the incidence of multiple 

residue detections. Multiple residue detections may 

derive from various sources such as applications of 

more than one pesticide on a crop during a growing 

season, spray drift, transfer through crop rotation, 

cross contamination at packing facilities, or persistent 

environmental residues. The multiple residue information is particularly useful in responding to the NAS 

report Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children

(National Research Council, National Academy Press, 

Washington, DC, 1993), which recommended that 

coordinated recording of multiple residue scans would 

make possible more accurate evaluation of exposure 

distributions for multiple chemicals. 

 

PDP data will be useful in assessing the cumulative 

effects of pesticides with similar mechanisms of action 

such as cholinesterase inhibitors and endocrine 

disruptors. The distribution of multiple residues in the 

PDP database is given in Appendix L. These data 

indicate that more than one pesticide residue was 

detected in 35 percent of all samples tested. No 

correlation exists between the incidence of multiple 

residues and tolerance violations. 

i Import vs. Domestic Residue Comparisons

The data generated by PDP reflect pesticide residues 

in foods available to the United States consumer, 

including both domestic and imported products. 

Most commodities are almost entirely of domestic 

origin with only a minor import component. Other 

crops, such as cantaloupe, cucumbers, grapes, 
Pesticide Data Program — Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2000 

18

For cantaloupe, imports from Costa Rica, Guatemala, 

Honduras, and Nicaragua were combined to compare 

them with domestic product. This approach was 

taken because of the regional similarities shared by 

these Central American countries and to attain a 

larger number of samples to make a valid comparison to domestic commodities. Domestic cantaloupe 

had less residues of endosulfan sulfate, methamidophos, methomyl, and thiabendazole than the 

Mexican and Central American imports. 

 

i 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 and is applicable to 

processed foods. EPA is in the process of reassessing 

tolerances to ensure that they meet the standards 

required by FQPA. Under FQPA, the safety standard 

for a pesticide tolerance is defined as "a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result from aggregate 

exposure to the chemical residue, including all 

anticipated dietary exposures for which there is 

reliable information." 

A tolerance violation occurs when a residue is found 

that exceeds the tolerance level or when a residue is 

found for which there is no tolerance for that 

particular crop. With the exception of meat, poultry, 

and egg products, for which USDA is responsible, 

tolerances for all other foods (imported and domestic 

foods moved through interstate commerce) are 

enforced by FDA at the National level and by the 

States at the local level. When agencies with 

regulatory enforcement authority collect samples for 

tolerance enforcement purposes, they must adhere to 

a quick turnaround time and chain-of-custody 

protocols which allow them to detain the sampled lot 

until test results are available. PDP is not an 

enforcement program. Consequently, sample 

analysis does not have to be completed quickly 

(emphasis is placed on searching for residues at the 

lowest detectable levels--not on quick turn-around 

time) and sample collection does not interfere with 

commodity distribution. Samples with residues 

exceeding the tolerance or samples with residues for 

which there was no tolerance listed under the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Part 180 were 

reported to FDA regional and headquarters offices. 

This is done in accordance with a Memorandum of 

peaches, pineapples, and sweet bell peppers, are 

domestic during warm weather months and imported 

during winter months. Appendix D shows a 

comparison of selected residues detected in fresh 

cucumbers and sweet bell peppers grown in the United 

States and Mexico, residues detected in grapes and 

peaches grown in the United States and Chile, and 

residues detected in cantaloupe in the United States, 

Mexico, and Central American countries (Costa Rica, 

Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua). The data 

indicate that for cucumbers, a much higher percent of 

Mexican cucumbers had detectable residues and 

residue profiles are different from those of the United 

States and the Central American countries. Seven 

percent of the Mexican samples had dieldrin residues, 

compared to 22 percent of the United States samples. 

Conversely, Mexican cucumbers were found to 

contain residues of endosulfan I, endosulfan II, and 

endosulfan sulfate at 65, 53, and 81 percent, 

respectively, compared with 26, 23, and 35 percent 

detected in the United States product. 

For sweet bell peppers, 94 percent of Mexican product 

had residues, compared to 65 percent of United States 

samples. The percent of Mexican sweet bell peppers 

containing residues of chlorpyrifos, endosulfans, 

methamidophos, omethoate, and oxamyl was higher 

than those for sweet bell peppers grown in the United 

States. Detection rates for acephate, dicofol, metalaxyl, and methomyl were higher for the United States 

grown product. 

For grapes, 90 percent of Chilean product had 

residues, compared to 56 percent of United States 

samples. The percent of Chilean grapes containing 

residues of captan, dimethoate, ipriodione, and omethoate was higher than those for grapes grown in the 

United States. The detection rate for myclobutanil 

was higher for the United States grown product. 

For peaches, 97 percent of Chilean product had 

residues, compared to 91 percent of United States 

samples. The percent of Chilean peaches containing 

residues of azinphos methyl, chlorpyrifos, fenvalerate, 

and iprodione was higher than those for peaches 

grown in the United States. Detection rates for 

dicloran and phosmet were higher for the United 

States grown product. The detection rate for carbaryl 

was about the same for the Chilean and United States 

products. 
Pesticide Data Program — Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2000 

19

Understanding between USDA and FDA for the 

purpose of pinpointing areas where closer 

surveillance may be needed. FDA enforcement 

action on PDP samples generally is not a viable 

option due to the time lag from sample collection to 

data reporting. 

Residues exceeding the established tolerance are 

noted as “X” in Appendices E, G, H, and I. 

Similarly, residues for which a tolerance could not be 

found in the 40 CFR, Part 180 are listed as “V.” A 

tolerance expression may apply to more than one 

residue because pesticides may breakdown into one 

or more metabolites or contain more than one isomer. 

For example, the tolerance for endosulfans combines 

residues of endosulfan I, endosulfan II, and endosulfan sulfate; organophosphate tolerances may 

combine the parent compound and the sulfone and 

sulfoxide metabolites. Therefore, where applicable 

(i.e., if residues of metabolites were detected in the 

same sample), PDP combined residues of parent and 

metabolites of endosulfan, ethion, fenamiphos, and 

quintozene and isomers of lambda cyhalothrin and 

iprodione to count the total number of samples with 

tolerance violations. The “X” and “V” annotations 

are followed by a number indicating the number of 

samples reported to FDA. 

Residues exceeding the tolerance were detected in 

0.2 percent of all composite samples tested in 2000 

(19 samples with 1 residue each). Residues with no 

tolerance listed in 40 CFR, Part 180 were found in 

1.2 percent of the samples (123 samples with 1 

residue, 9 samples with 2 residues each, and 2 

samples with 3 residues each). In most cases, these 

residues were detected at very low levels and may be 

due to spray drift or crop rotations. These residue 

findings are listed in Appendix M. 

i Synopsis

In 2000, a total of 8,912 fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetable samples, 716 peanut butter samples, 178 

rice samples, and 1,101 poultry samples were 

analyzed for various pesticides including insecticides, 

herbicides, and fungicides. Samples were analyzed 

using MRMs capable of detecting various 

organochlorines, organophosphates, organosulfurs, 

organonitrogens, and N-methyl carbamates. SRMs 

were used for benomyl in cantaloupe, cucumbers, 

strawberries, and sweet bell peppers and formetanate 

in apples, nectarines, and oranges. In addition, 534 

single servings of peaches were collected and 

analyzed. 

Approximately 80 percent of all samples tested were 

domestic, 19 percent were imported, and less than 1 

percent were of unknown origin. Of all samples 

tested, 0.2 percent were reported as containing 

residues exceeding the tolerance and 1.2 percent as 

without tolerances listed in 40 CFR, Part 180. 

Overall, 43 percent of all samples had no detectable 

residues, 22 percent contained one residue, and 35 

percent contained more than one residue. Most of the 

residues were detected in fruit and vegetable 

commodities. Data for single servings of peaches 

were not significantly different from composite data. 

Environmental contaminants were detected mainly in 

carrots and cucumbers. Postharvest applications 

contributed significantly to the number of residues 

detected in apples, cherries, nectarines, oranges, 

peaches, and potatoes. Overall, levels of residues 

detected were below tolerances.

Quality Assurance Program Elements

PDP?s Quality Assurance (QA) program covers all aspects of data gathering, from 

sample collection to data reporting. QA protocols for sampling are designed to protect 

sample integrity from the time of collection to the time of delivery at the testing facilit ies. 

QA protocols for testing comprise all laboratory operations from the time of sample receipt 

to the time data are reported to PDP ?s central database. PDP laboratories guarantee 

reported results by adherence to strict QA requirements. As described in this appendix, 

the QA program has five elements: 1) Standard Operating Procedures; 2) On -site Reviews; 

3) Proficiency Check Samples; 4) Quality Control Procedures; and 5) Method Performance 

and Verification Procedures.
Appendix C. Page 1 of 2

APPENDIX C. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM ELEMENTS

1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - Written SOPs are in place to provide uniform

administrative, sampling, and laboratory procedures. SOPs are revised annually to accommodate

changes in the progr am. Before submission, data are reviewed by each Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) 

for completeness and adherence to PDP requirements.

2. On-site Reviews - On-site reviews are performed to determine compliance with PDP SOPs. 

Improvements in sampling, chai n-of-custody, recordkeeping, laboratory, and electronic data

transmission procedures are made as a result of on -site reviews.

3. Proficiency Check Samples - All facilities are required to participate in PDP's Check Sample

program. Check samples are is sued to laboratories performing analysis with multiresidue methods 

and/or single/selective residue methods. Periodically, one to three prepared commodities, containing 

pesticide(s) of known quantities, are sent to the participating laboratories and tested 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 2000, PDP 

laboratories received 3 proficiency sample sets consisting of 30 fruit and vegetable samples for

multiresidue screening, 4 sets consisting of 12 fruit and vegetable samples for single/selective residue 

screening, 2 poultry multiresidue sets consisting of 7 samples, and 1 peanut butter multiresidue set 

consisting of 3 samples. For fruit and vegetable multiresidue screening, a total of 110 samples covering 

10 commodities were fortified with 68 compounds, with 9 repeated once, 9 repeated twice, 1 repeated 3 

times, and 1 repeated 4 times, at levels ge nerally 1-10 times the limit of quantitation (LOQ). Results 

yield an overall mean recovery of 92 percent with a percent coefficient of variation (%C.V.) of 24

percent. Seventeen incurred residues were present in these sets in 7 commodities, with 2 residu es 

occurring twice and 1 occurring 3 times, at levels ranging from 0.006 – 0.7 ppm.

4. Quality Control Procedures - PDP operating procedures for quality control (QC) are intended to 

assess method and analyst performance during sample preparation, clean -up, extraction, and, where 

applicable, derivatization. To maximize sample output and decrease the QC/sample ratio, samples are 

analyzed in analytical sets, not to exceed 20 samples per set, which include the sample set and the 

following components.

a. Reagent Blank: For analysis of fruit and vegetables and poultry, an amount of distilled water, 

equivalent to the natural moisture content of the commodity, is run through the entire analytical 

process to determine glassware cleanliness and system integrity. For rice and peanut butter 

analysis, performed by supercritical fluid extraction, an empty extraction cell is run through the 

analytical procedure to demonstrate system integrity.

b. Matrix Blank: A previously analyzed sample of the same commodity, whi ch contains either 

very low concentrations of known residues or no detectable residues, is divided into two

portions. The first portion is used to give background information on naturally occurring

chemicals, and the second is used to prepare a matrix spi ke.

c. Matrix Spike(s): Prior to extraction, a portion(s) of matrix blank is spiked with marker

pesticides to determine the accuracy of the analyst and instrument performance. Marker

pesticides are compounds selected from different pesticide classes ( organochlorines, 

organophosphates, carbamates), which have physical and chemical characteristics similar to 

those in the class they represent. The use of marker pesticides to monitor recoveries is a 

modification of PDP?s previous requirements that called for spiking with all pesticides. Because 

of the large number of pesticides in the program, spiking with all compounds required multiple 
Appendix C. Page 2 of 2

spike mixtures to avert coelution problems, which, in turn, resulted in lengthy run times. During 

2000, PDP laboratori es quantitated a total of 23,284 matrix spikes, with an overall mean

recovery of 91 percent, overall standard deviation of 26 percent, and overall %C.V. of 28

percent.

d. Process Control Spike: A compound of physical and chemical characteristics, simila r to 

those of the pesticides being tested, is used to evaluate the analytical process on a sample -bysample basis. Each of the analytical set components, except the reagent and matrix blanks, is 

spiked with process controls. During 2000, PDP laboratories quantitated a total of 47,386

process controls on 10,907 samples, with an overall mean recovery of 93 percent, overall

standard deviation of 18 percent, and overall %C.V. of 20 percent. Of these process controls, 

547 (1.2%) were rerun due to initial fail ure to meet PDP recovery criteria. These rerun values 

are not included in these statistics for illustrative purposes; however, reported data are those 

obtained from sample reanalysis.

5. Method Performance and Verification Procedures - Laboratories ar e required to determine and verify 

the limits of detection (LODs) and LOQs for each pesticide/commodity pair. LODs depend on matrix, 

analyte, and detector used, and range from 0.0004 to 0.20 ppm, with the exception of fenvalerate,

reported by one laborato ry as total combined fenvalerate, or fenvalerate plus the esfenvalerate isomer. 

(Information on specific LODs and LOQs is available upon request.) Verification by mass spectrometry 

or a suitable alternate detection system, is required for all initial det erminations. Verified residue amounts 

above LOD and below LOQ are reported as below quantifiable level and assigned values at ? LOQ at 

the request of EPA for use in dietary risk assessment. If a detected residue exceeds the established 

tolerance, the sample is reanalyzed from the frozen homogenate, along with the appropriate blanks and 

a spike of the residue at the suspected lev el. 
Appendix D

Import vs. Domestic Pesticide Residue Comparisons

PDP was 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 State s 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 D compares residue data reported for samples originating in the United 

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

cucumbers and sweet bell peppers from the United States are compared with data for

samples originating in Mexico for 1999 and 2000. Residue data for domestic grapes and 

peaches are compared with data for samples originating in Chile for 2000. For cantaloupe, 

1998-2000 data from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua were combined and 

compared with d ata from Mexico and the United States. Only residues detected in more 

than 10 percent of all samples are included in the detail section of 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 National differences in residue findings were due to the pesticides 

used to sustain crop protection based on the environment, climate, and growi ng conditions.

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Fruit and Vegetables 

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

pairs tested, including range of values detected, range of Limits of Detec tion (LODs), and 

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

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

In 2000, 8,912 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 8,378 were 

composite samples and 534 were single serving samples (peaches).

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. 

Codex MRLs in commodities represent toxicological pesticide residue levels, based 

on Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) permi tted by the Joint (Food and Agriculture/World 

Health Organization -FAO/WHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR). The JMPR is an 

independently appointed panel of expert scientists. Similarly, EMRLs represent

acceptable levels of persistent pesticides in t he environment which are no longer

registered for use in agriculture.

MRLs/EMRLs used in this appendix are values of pesticides and their metabolites, 

for the commodities either individually or part of a commodity group, as they appear in the

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

pesticides. Under FQPA, responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to EPA. In the

interim, action levels are used.

EX Exempt from tolerance application.

(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.

For those pesticide/commodity pairs where the minimum detected value is less than the limit of quantitation (3 times the

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

Appendix F 

Distribution of Residues for Peach Single Serving Survey

A special survey to address acute dietary risk assessment needs was conducted in 

2000. Composite and corresponding single serving peach samples were analyzed for 100 

pesticides plus 39 metabolites, degradates, and isomers. Upon receipt of composite

peach samples for multiresidue analysis, an individual peach was randomly selected from 

each 5-pound sample, prepared, and analyzed according to PDP procedures.

Composite and corresp onding single serving residue results are used by EPA and 

private contractors to develop and evaluate sample decompositing models. When

validated, these models may be used to translate composite to single serving data for use 

in acute dietary risk assessm ents.

Appendix F shows the distribution of residues for all peach composite and single 

serving samples analyzed for 8 pesticides that had residue detections in at least 10

percent of the samples. This appendix also lists residue findings for those 8 pest icides for 

the top 25 samples with the highest number of multiple residue detections. 

Refer to the Appendix E cover page for a definition of Codex MRLs/EMRLs.

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Peanut Butter 

Appendix G shows r esidue 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) toleran ce references for each pair. 

In 2000, PDP analyzed 716 peanut butter samples. A total of 186 samples (26%) 

were reported with residue detections. None of the residue detections exceeded the

established tolerances.

Codex MRLs represent toxicological p esticide residue levels, based on Acceptable 

Daily Intakes (ADIs) permitted by the Joint (Food and Agriculture/World Health

Organization -FAO/WHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR). The JMPR is an

independently appointed panel of expert scientists. Sim ilarly, EMRLs represent

acceptable levels of persistent pesticides in the environment which are no longer

registered for use in agriculture.

MRLs/EMRLs used in this appendix are values of pesticides and their metabolites, 

for the commodities either indivi dually or part of a commodity group as they appear in the 

second addition of Volume B of the Codex Alimentarius Publication.

In 2000, poultry tissue samples were analyzed which included 476 adipose

samples, 480 li ver samples, and 145 muscle samples. Of the 476 adipose samples

analyzed, a total of 29 samples (6%) were reported with residue detections. One sample 

contained residue that exceeded the established EPA tolerance and 3 samples contained 

residues for whic h no EPA tolerance was established. A total of four samples (less than 

1%) of the 480 liver samples analyzed were reported with residue detections. All 4

samples contained residue for which no EPA tolerance was established. Of the 145

muscle samples ana lyzed, a total of 2 samples (1%) were reported with residue detections. 

 One sample contained residue for which no EPA tolerance was established.

^ = 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 pesticides. Under FQPA, responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of action

 levels has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, action levels are used.

X = Residue was found which exceeds EPA tolerance or FDA actional level. Following "X" are the number

 of occurrences.

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

Appendix I. Page 8 of 8
Appendix J

National Estimates for 

Concentration Percentiles vs. Tolerance

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

Appendix I shows 84 pesticide/commodity pairs (includi ng 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 e ach pesticide/commodity pair.

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

the azinphos methyl/cherries, the 50th percentile, or median, is estimated to be 0.014 ppm. 

This means that PDP estimates that at least 50 perc ent of cherries available to U.S.

consumers had azinphos methyl 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 0.037 ppm, which means that at least 75 percent of cherries 

had residues of 0.037 ppm or less, while at least 25 percent had residues of 0.037 ppm or 

more. Finally, the 90th percentile (or the last decile) is estimated to be 0.080 ppm,

meaning that at least 90 perc ent of all cherries had azinphos methyl residues of 0.080 ppm 

or less, while at least 10 percent had residues of 0.080 ppm or more.

Percent detections and percentiles for apples, cantaloupe, carrots, cherries,

cucumbers, grapes, green beans, lettuce, nect arines, oranges, peaches, potatoes,

strawberries, and sweet bell peppers were weighted to reflect 1998 Agricultural Marketing 

Service marketing data.

Appendix J. Page 3 of 3
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 eight

pesticide/commodity pairs:

Carbaryl / Cherries

Myclobutanil / Cherries

Endosulfan sulfate / Cucumb ers

Ipriodione / Grapes

Methamidophos / Green Beans

Imazalil / Oranges

Phosmet / Peaches

Captan / Strawberries (Fresh)

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

same curved shape. The highest percentile graphed in the appendix is the 99th, which in 

each case 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 concent rations 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 oranges available to U.S. consumers in 2000 had 

imazalil residue concentrations of 0.015 ppm or less. The solid lines, tailing the large dots, 

depict percentage values. The lowest value of these solid lines indicates the estimated 

percentage o f the commodity available to U.S. consumers with no detectable residues. For 

imazalil in oranges, this is 37 percent. The shaded bar denotes the range of values

estimated for the mean. For imazalil/oranges, the mean range is approximately 0.042 -

0.048 ppm, corresponding to the 76th percentile.

Appendix L

Number of Residues Detected per Sample

(Fresh and Processed Products)

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

detected per sample. Page 1 shows the overall number of samples and percentages (of 

total number of samples analyzed) for each detection group across all commodities. Page 

2 shows the number of residues detected by individual commodity. For the 10,907

samples tested, 43.0 percent of the samples had no detect able residues, 21.6 percent had 

one residue, and 35.4 percent of the samples had more than one residue.

Appendix M

Fruit and Vegetable Samples Reported to FDA 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 2000, a total of 153 samples with 1 66 residues were reported 

to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations.

 A total of 18 fruit and vegetable samples and 1 poultry sample were found to have 

residues at levels exceeding the established tolerance. Samples containing a residue 

exceeding an establish tolerance included;

? 8 green bean samples 

? 4 strawberry samples 

? 3 peach samples

? 2 cucumber samples

? 1 sweet bell pepper sample

? 1 poultry adipose sample

 In addition, 126 fruit and vegetable samples and 8 poultry samples were found to 

have 147 re sidues for which no tolerance was established. 

? 123 samples contained 1 residue for which no tolerance was established

? 9 samples contained 2 residues for which no tolerance was established 

? 2 samples contained 3 residues for which no tolerance was estab lished 

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.

KEY

 ^ The same concentration was reported for all detections or LODs.

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

1 Five detections within the same samples as Dimethoate.

Note:

For those pesticide/commodity pairs where the minimum detected value is less than the limit of quantitation (3 times the

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