May 2012

To the Reader:

I am pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 20th Annual Summary for calendar year 2010. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

vegetables, meat and poultry, grains, catfi sh, rice, specialty products, and water. 

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

residue data on foods that are highly consumed, particularly by infants and children. For the fi rst time, 

this year’s report contains some data on baby food, cabbage, hot peppers, and mangoes. The FQPA also 

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

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

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

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

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

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

2010, residues exceeding the tolerance were detected in 0.25 percent of the samples tested, and residues 

with no established tolerance were found in 4.3 percent of the samples. For baby food, the data showed that 

no residues were found that exceeded the tolerance levels, but residues with no established tolerance were 

found in 1.04 percent of the samples. The data reported by PDP corroborate that residues found in fruit and 

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

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

Thirteen states participated in the program during 2010: California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

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

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

Executive Summary

In 1991, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) was charged 

with designing and implementing the Pesticide Data 

Program (PDP) to collect data on pesticide residues 

in food. PDP provides high-quality data on residues 

in food, particularly foods most likely consumed 

by infants and children. This 20th Pesticide Data 

Program Summary presents results for samples 

collected in 2010.

This information is provided to the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). Before a company can 

sell or distribute any pesticide in the United States of 

America, EPA must review studies on the pesticide 

to determine that it will not pose unreasonable risks 

to human health or the environment. Once EPA has 

made that determination, it will license or register 

that pesticide for use in strict accordance with label 

directions. 

Before allowing a pesticide to be used on a food 

commodity, EPA sets limits on how much of a 

pesticide may be used on food during growing and 

processing, and how much can remain on the food 

that reaches the consumer. Government inspectors 

monitor food in interstate commerce to ensure that 

these limits are not exceeded. EPA also sets standards 

to protect workers from exposure to pesticides on 

the job. 

AMS, through its Monitoring Programs Office 

(MPO), is responsible for the administration, 

planning and coordination of day-to-day PDP 

operations. MPO meets regularly with EPA and 

other government agencies to establish program 

priorities and direction. Sampling and/or testing 

program operations are carried out with the 

support of 13 States: California, Colorado, Florida, 

Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New 

York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Washington, 

and Wisconsin. These States have a prominent role 

in program planning and policy setting, particularly 

policies relating to quality assurance. In addition to 

State laboratories, testing was conducted by USDA’s 

AMS National Science Laboratory, USDA’s Grain 

Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration 

Laboratory, and EPA’s Analytical Chemistry 

Laboratory. 

Drinking water sampling from public utilities was 

conducted by utility personnel while homeowners 

sampled their own well (ground) water. In 2010, 

a groundwater survey of schools and childcare 

facilities was performed in which school and 

childcare facility personnel sampled the well water 

serving the facility. 

PDP commodity sampling is based on a rigorous 

statistical design that ensures the data are reliable 

for use in exposure assessments and can be used 

to draw various conclusions about the Nation’s 

food supply. The pesticides and commodities to 

be included each year in the sampling are selected 

based on EPA data needs and take into account the 

types and amounts of food consumed by infants 

and children. The number of samples collected by 

the States is apportioned according to that State’s 

population. Samples are randomly chosen close to 

the time and point of consumption (i.e., distribution 

centers rather than at farm gate) and 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. 

Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables accounted 

for 85.0 percent of the total samples collected in 

2010. Other samples collected included water 

samples, 6.4 percent; catfish, 3.0 percent; eggs, 2.9 

percent; and oats, 2.3 percent. Fresh and processed 

fruit and vegetables tested during 2010 were: 

apples, asparagus, baby food (green beans, pears, 

sweet potatoes), cabbage, cantaloupe, canned 

beans, cilantro, cucumbers, grapes, hot peppers, 

lettuce, mangoes, oranges, orange juice, pears, 

canned and frozen spinach, sweet bell peppers, 

sweet corn (fresh on-the-cob/frozen), sweet 

potatoes and watermelon. Approximately 73.8 

percent of samples were from U.S. sources, 23.8 

percent were imports, 1.4 percent was of mixed 

origin and 1.0 percent was of unknown origin.

Because PDP data are mainly used for risk 

assessments, PDP laboratory methods are geared 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

x

to detect the smallest possible levels of pesticide 

residues, even when those levels are well below 

the tolerances established by EPA. Prior to testing, 

PDP analysts washed samples for 10 seconds with 

gently running cold water as a consumer would do; 

no chemicals, soap or any special wash was used. 

Results for more than 1.9 million analyses were 

reported by the laboratories in 2010, too numerous 

to be included in their entirety in this summary. The 

PDP database fi le for 2010, and annual summaries 

and database fi les for previous years, are available 

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

pdp or by contacting MPO.

PDP is a voluntary program and is not designed for 

enforcement of tolerances. However, PDP informs 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration if residues 

detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA 

tolerance established. In 2010, excluding water and 

catfi sh, residues exceeding the established tolerance 

were detected in 0.25 percent of the 11,644 samples 

tested, and residues with no established tolerance 

were found in 4.3 percent of the samples. Catfi sh 

and water are not included in these calculations 

because residue levels, if found, are mainly the 

result of environmental contamination or transfer, 

rather than from registered agricultural uses on 

the commodity. Appendices B through G provide 

a distribution of residues by pesticide for the 

commodities tested. More information on results 

is provided in the Sample Results and Discussion 

section of the summary.

PDP laboratories also test foods for low levels of 

environmental contaminants that are no longer 

used in the U.S., but due to their persistence in the 

environment, particularly in soil, can be taken up by 

plants. PDP tracks these contaminants and provides 

the data to the Codex Alimentarius Commission. 

Results for environmental contaminants in all 

commodities are listed in Appendix H. 

In 2010, 567 (treated and untreated) drinking water 

samples were collected at water treatment facilities 

in 9 States and a total of 250 groundwater samples 

were collected from private domestic wells and 

school/childcare facilities. Low levels of detectable 

residues, measured in parts per trillion, were 

detected in both drinking water and groundwater. 

The majority of pesticides, metabolites, and 

isomers included in the PDP testing profi les were 

not detected. Two of the fi nished drinking water 

samples exceeded the EPA Maximum Contaminant 

Level for atrazine, but not for suffi cient length 

of time to trigger regulatory action. Additional 

information is provided in the Sample Results and 

Discussion, Municipal Drinking Water section 

of this Annual Summary. None of the fi nished 

drinking water samples exceeded established EPA 

Health Advisory levels or established Freshwater 

Aquatic Organism criteria.

PDP continually strives to improve methods for 

collection, testing, and reporting data. These data 

are freely available to EPA and other Federal 

and State agencies charged with regulating and 

setting policies on the use of pesticides and to all 

stakeholders by hard copy, Internet, or custom 

reports generated by MPO. Additional copies of 

the PDP Annual Summary may be obtained by

Pesticide Data Program (PDP)

Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

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

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

I. Introduction

The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) was initiated in 

1991 to collect data on pesticide residues in food and 

now has an important role in the implementation of 

the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 

collect pesticide residue data on commodities most 

frequently consumed by infants and children. PDP 

data are used primarily by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) to assess dietary exposure 

during the review of the safety of existing pesticide 

tolerances (Maximum Residue Limits). 

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 contributors to PDP program 

policy development and planning operations. 

Primary contributors to these activities include 

the participating States, EPA, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) National Agricultural 

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

Figure 1(b) depicts PDP primary data users including 

EPA, 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. Other Federal, 

State, and foreign government agencies and industry 

have used PDP data to promote the export of U.S. 

commodities to international markets. Additionally, 

the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Pesticides 

Residues recognizes PDP methodologies as official 

and validated methods for the determination of 

pesticide residues in foods.

In 2010, sampling services were provided by 11 

States (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, 

Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin). Sampling 

services for drinking water were provided by 

participating facility personnel at 12 individual 

sites in 9 States [Alabama, Georgia, Illinois (2 

sites), Kansas, Louisiana (2 sites), Minnesota, 

North Carolina, Tennessee (2 sites), and Texas]. 

A voluntary groundwater survey was continued in 

2010 with homeowners at 27 sites in agricultural 

areas in California (10), Maryland (2), Michigan 

(9), Minnesota (1), and Virginia (5) collecting 

potable well samples for analysis. There were 

also 14 samples collected from municipal water 

facilities that draw from groundwater sources 

in Arizona, Illinois (2), Louisiana, Maine (2), 

Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina (2), New 

York, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas. In addition, a 

survey of school/childcare facilities was begun. 

In 2010, 209 school/childcare facilities from 18 

States (California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, 

Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, 

Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, 

North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, 

Washington, and Wisconsin) were sampled and 

analyzed.

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); 

the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 

Administration (GIPSA) Laboratory; and, the EPA 

Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (ACL). 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. Together, these 

States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s 

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

They also represent major U.S. producers of fruit 

and vegetables. AMS works closely with EPA to 

select commodities and pesticides for testing and 

in the selection of drinking water and groundwater 

sites. The selected commodities represent the 

highest U.S. consumption, with an emphasis 

on foods consumed by infants and children. 

Commodities are cycled through the program 

approximately every five years. Fresh fruit and 

vegetable commodities remain in the program for 

two years to capture two full growing seasons, 

thereby capturing any changes due to seasonality 

or year-to-year variations. Processed products, 

dairy, meat, fish and grains are tested for one full 

year. Appendix A provides a list of commodities 

tested by PDP from the beginning of the program 

in 1991 through 2011.

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, such as sprouting inhibitors) 

and takes into account residue degradation while 

food commodities are in storage. Participation as a

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

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

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

and processed grain products; and, the Federal EPA laboratory in Fort Meade, Maryland, performs specialty analyses for 

selected crops.

PDP sampling site is voluntary, which sets it apart 

from State and Federal enforcement programs. In 

2010, approximately 600 sites granted access and 

provided information, including site volume data, 

to sample collectors. Voluntary cooperation is 

important to PDP and makes it possible to adjust 

sampling protocols in response to fluctuations in 

food distribution and production.

Treated and untreated drinking water samples are 

collected onsite by trained personnel at selected 

water treatment facilities across the country. 

Groundwater samples are collected from private 

potable wells by homeowners and State/school/

Tribal and regional professional association 

officials. Sites are selected based on geographic 

locale and proximity to agricultural areas.

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with 

current registered uses and compounds for which 

toxicity data and preliminary estimates of dietary 

exposure indicate the need for more extensive 

residue data. PDP also monitors pesticides for 

which EPA has 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), oats (Appendix 

C), eggs (Appendix D), catfish (Appendix E), 

potable groundwater (Appendix F), and municipal 

drinking water (Appendix G). Environmental 

contaminants are consolidated into Appendix H, 

which summarizes findings for these chemicals 

across all commodities.

II. SAMPLING OPERATIONS

♦ Background

The goal of the PDP sampling program is to obtain a 

statistically defensible representation of the U.S. food 

supply. PDP data reflect actual pesticide residue 

exposure from food. Using a rigorous statistical 

design, PDP has developed extensive procedures 

that ensure samples are randomly selected from the 

national food distribution system and reflect what is 

typically available to the consumer.

In 2010, fruit, vegetables, oats, eggs, and 

catfish were randomly collected by trained State 

inspectors at terminal markets and large chain 

store distribution centers throughout the country. 

Surrogate or “proxy” sites (retail markets) are 

occasionally used to collect these samples when the 

commodity of interest is unavailable at a terminal 

market or distribution center. In these instances, 

the commodity is selected in the rear storage area 

of the retail facility so possible contamination by 

the consumer is eliminated and allows capture of 

sample information from product boxes. In 2010, 

15.9 percent of fruit, vegetable, catfish, egg, and 

oat samples were collected at proxy sites. The 

commodities most often collected at these facilities 

were baby foods (green beans, pears, and sweet 

potatoes), canned beans, canned/frozen spinach, 

catfish, eggs, oats, and orange juice. 

Treated and untreated drinking water samples were 

collected onsite by trained personnel at selected 

water treatment facilities across the country. 

Potable groundwater samples were collected from 

private domestic wells by homeowners and State/

school/Tribal and regional professional association 

officials. Participation in the groundwater survey is 

voluntary, with site selections based on agricultural 

chemical usage in the watershed and geographic 

location. 

At all sampling locations, information is usually 

available about the identity and origin of the 

sample. Sample information is captured at the time 

of collection for inclusion in the PDP database. 

PDP sample origin data identify the State or 

country where the commodity was produced. A 

comparison of PDP sample origin data to State 

production and import data by USDA’s NASS 

shows PDP sampling is representative of the U.S. 

food supply. PDP sampling operations are adjusted 

according to product availability. The number 

of fruit, vegetable, oat, egg, and catfish samples 

collected in each participating State is determined 

by State population. The number and location of 

groundwater samples are determined based on 

geographic region, location in an agricultural area, 

and the willingness of the well owners to participate 

in the program. The quarterly collection schedule 

for all 2010 commodities is shown in Table 1. 

The number and location of drinking water samples 

from water treatment facilities are determined by

EPA pesticide registration information needs. Each 

local watershed has its own unique characteristics; 

therefore, sample collection for this commodity is 

not intended to reflect national trends; rather, PDP 

collects samples in areas where it is known that 

targeted pesticides are used. 

PDP State sample collectors are trained to 

adhere to detailed program Standard Operating 

Procedures (SOPs) that provide criteria for site 

selection and specific instructions for sample 

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

as a technical reference in conducting program 

sampling reviews to ensure program goals and 

objectives are met. SOPs for PDP sampling are 

available on the Internet at www.ams.usda.gov/

pdp. On a quarterly basis, sample collectors are 

provided with commodity Fact Sheets and Quick 

Reference Guides that list specific collection

Table 1. PDP Commodity Collection Schedule for 2010. Samples are most often collected for a 

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

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

the listed commodities. See Appendix A for the complete PDP commodity history (May 1991 through 

December 2011).

details for individual commodities that have been 

added to the program.

Temperature-sensitive samples are packed in 

heavy-duty, temperature-controlled containers. 

Holding temperatures are preserved throughout 

transit time with the inclusion of ample frozen cold 

packs and insulating materials. Non-temperaturesensitive samples do not require temperaturecontrolled containers; however, they are shipped 

in heavy-duty, well-cushioned containers. To 

preserve sample integrity, most samples are 

shipped the same day as collection by overnight 

delivery. Non-refrigerated processed commodities 

[canned beans, baby foods (green beans, pears, 

and sweet potatoes), oats, and canned spinach] are 

often shipped by ground transportation to reduce 

shipping costs. Catfish samples are collected in 

pesticide-free polyethylene bags, frozen overnight, 

and shipped by next-day delivery to the laboratory 

for analysis. Groundwater samples and raw intake 

and treated drinking water samples are collected in 

specially prepared bottles containing dechlorinating agents to halt potential compound degradation, 

packed with proper cushioning and cold packs, 

and shipped the same day as collection to their 

respective laboratory by overnight delivery. 

Electronic Sample Information Forms (e-SIFs) are 

used for chain-of-custody and to capture information 

needed to characterize the sample. Sample 

collectors use handheld or laptop computers in the 

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 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 electronically 

mailed the same day as sample collection or, at 

the latest, by the next morning after collection to 

ensure that sample information is received at each 

laboratory by the time samples arrive for analysis. 

Refer to Section IV on Database Management for 

more information on the e-SIF system. 

Participating State agencies compile and maintain 

lists of sampling sites. In 2010, approximately 

600 sites granted access and provided information, 

including site volume data, to sample collectors. The 

States, in turn, provide AMS and NASS with annual 

volume information for commodities distributed at 

each site. This information is used to weight the site 

to determine the probability for sample selection. 

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

that distributes 100,000 pounds of produce annually 

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

10,000 pounds. The probability-proportionateto-size method of site selection then results in the 

larger site being 10 times more likely to be selected 

for sampling than the smaller site. 

Participating States work with NASS to develop 

statistical procedures for site weighting and 

selection. States are also given the option to 

have NASS perform their quarterly site selection. 

The number of sampling sites and the volume of 

produce distributed by the sites vary greatly among 

States. Sampling plans that include sampling dates, 

sites (primary and alternate), targeted commodities, 

and testing laboratories are prepared by each State 

on a quarterly basis. Collection of commodities is 

randomly assigned to weeks of the month, prior to 

selection of 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, vegetable, and other specialty 

samples scheduled for collection each month. 

These population- and distribution-network-based 

numbers result in the following monthly collection 

assignments for each State: California, 13; Colorado, 

2; Florida, 7; Maryland, 4; Michigan, 6; New York, 

9; Ohio, 6; Texas, 9; Washington, 4; and Wisconsin, 

2. The schedule results in a monthly target of 

62 samples per commodity, or 744 samples per 

commodity per year. 

The total number of samples collected in each State 

for each commodity is listed in Table 2. Figure 2 

illustrates the participating collection States and 

the laboratories to which samples were shipped.

imported, or of unknown origin are shown in 

Figure 3. The origin of some fresh commodities 

can vary greatly throughout the year. Graphic 

examples of this variation can be found in Figure 

4 where differences in origin (domestic vs. import) 

are depicted by month for cucumbers, grapes, and 

sweet bell peppers. Fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetable, oat, egg, and catfish samples originated 

from 39 States, 1 U.S. territory, and 30 foreign 

countries (refer to Appendix I). Groundwater 

and drinking water samples are excluded from 

Appendix I because they rely on differential 

sampling frames. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2010, 

85 percent (10,974 of 12,845) were fruit and 

vegetables, including fresh and processed products. 

The fresh commodities collected for PDP were 

apples, asparagus, cabbage, cantaloupe, cilantro, 

cucumbers, grapes, hot peppers, lettuce, mangoes, 

oranges, pears, sweet bell peppers, sweet corn 

on-the-cob, sweet potatoes, and watermelon. The 

processed commodities included baby food (green 

beans, pears, and sweet potatoes), canned beans 

(black and garbanzo), orange juice (ready-to-serve 

and concentrate), spinach (canned and frozen), and 

frozen sweet corn. All fresh fruit and vegetable 

samples weighed either 3 or 5 pounds with the 

exception of cilantro and hot pepper samples that 

weighed 1 pound. Three pounds were collected 

for smaller, low-weight commodities such as 

asparagus and grapes and 5 pounds were collected 

for larger, high-weight commodities such as apples 

and oranges. For processed samples, canned bean 

samples weighed 28 ounces; orange juice samples 

were 1 quart or 32 ounces, canned spinach samples 

were 28 ounces, frozen spinach samples were 3 

pounds, and frozen sweet corn niblets weighed 3 

pounds.

♦ Baby Food

In 2010, PDP initiated testing of three types 

of baby food – green beans, pears, and sweet 

potatoes. Acceptable samples included pureed 

Stage 1 (First Food) or Stage 2 (Second Food); 

domestic or imported; organic or conventional 

products. Either glass or plastic containers were 

acceptable. The minimum weight was 16 ounces, 

generally necessitating the collection of multiple 

containers within the same lot for a given sample. 

One hundred ninety-two samples of infant food 

green beans were collected and analyzed while 

191 samples each of infant food pears and sweet 

potatoes were collected and tested.

♦ Eggs

In 2010, PDP collected and analyzed 371 egg 

samples. Samples were collected from routine PDP 

sampling sites, which included major distribution 

centers and terminal markets. A minimum of 

12 eggs were collected for each of the samples. 

Analysis was performed by the USDA NSL in 

Gastonia, NC. Results for eggs are shown in 

Appendix D.

♦ Oats 

In 2010, PDP collected 299 samples of oats. 

Samples were collected from routine PDP sampling 

sites, which included major distribution centers 

and terminal markets. One-pound oat samples 

included whole oats, rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and 

oat bran. Further processed oats, such as instant 

oats, quick oats, and oat flour were not included in 

the sampling scheme. Analysis was performed by 

the USDA GIPSA Laboratory in Kansas City, MO. 

Results for oats are shown in Appendix C. 

♦ Catfish

In 2010, PDP continued the catfish survey which 

began in 2008. Data were needed to examine 

levels of pesticides present in catfish, whether from 

environmental contaminants or from pesticides 

used in aquaculture. Current, comprehensive data 

on pesticide residues on fish available to the U.S. 

consumer is not as widely available as it is for 

fruits and vegetables. FDA does cover imported 

and domestic seafood in its pesticide program and 

FDA data are available at http://www.fda.gov/

Food/FoodSafety/FoodContaminantsAdulteration/

Pesticides/default.htm. 

PDP sampling for catfish was designed to capture 

domestic and imported products, including farmraised catfish. Catfish represents the largest sector

in the domestic aquaculture industry. The primary 

domestic production States in 2010 are, in order 

of production, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, 

and Louisiana. The primary export countries are 

China and Vietnam. PDP sampled catfish available 

at designated sampling locations regardless of 

country of origin, in order to capture results for 

catfish consumed by the American public.

PDP collected and analyzed 384 catfish samples in 

2010. Each sample consisted of 1 pound of fresh 

or frozen raw catfish. Proxy/retail sites provided 

53.4 percent of catfish samples, while distribution 

centers provided 32.3 percent of samples, terminal 

markets 4.4 percent, and wholesale or specialty 

fish markets 8.1 percent. Catfish fillets, nuggets, 

strips, or steaks were collected for testing rather 

than whole catfish. Both bones-in and no bones 

were acceptable sample types. To ensure catfish 

samples arrived at the laboratory in acceptable 

condition, samples were first frozen overnight 

and then shipped the following day by overnight 

air with ample frozen cold packs and insulating 

materials surrounding all sample units. Analysis 

was performed by the NSL in Gastonia, NC. 

Because naming conventions vary across States and 

regions of the United States and among countries, 

PDP sample collectors relied solely on the label for 

identification of catfish (fillets, nuggets, strips, and 

steaks) regardless of the family, genus, or species 

names that may or may not have been listed on 

the product. Farm-raised or wild, and domestic 

or imported catfish were collected on a random, 

as available basis. The majority of samples were 

labeled as farm-raised and of domestic origin. 

Approximately 71 percent of the samples were 

labeled as farm-raised, less than 1 percent as wildcaught, and the remainder of the samples had no 

available source information. Attribution of sample 

origin is based on label information or lack thereof. 

Approximately 75 percent of the samples originated 

in the United States, 23 percent were imported, 

1 percent were of mixed origin, and 1 percent 

were unknown. These collection percentages are 

consistent with the U.S. Department of Commerce 

and NASS data on domestic production figures for 

2010. Distribution of residues in catfish may be 

found in Appendix E.

♦ Drinking Water

Potable Groundwater

Approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population 

obtains its domestic water from private wells. 

Many of these wells are located in agricultural 

areas and may be susceptible to pesticide 

contamination, making it necessary to monitor 

these shallow groundwater wells to determine 

potential exposure to pesticides through water 

consumption for this segment of the population.

Some pesticides bind tightly to soils and therefore 

are unlikely to be found in groundwater; others, 

such as water-soluble pesticides, can move 

through soil to reach the water table. Movement of 

pesticides in soils and rock is much slower than in 

surface water – for example, pesticide movement 

in soils and rock is measured in centimeters per 

year while movement in surface water is measured 

in meters per year. Because of these differences in 

mobility, pesticide concentrations in groundwater 

are much less variable and samples do not need 

to be taken as frequently. Consequently, for these 

groundwater studies, a single annual sample was 

taken rather than the bimonthly samples taken for 

surface water.

A total of 250 samples were collected and 

tested for the 2010 groundwater program. These 

included 27 private residence wells in 5 States, 

14 municipal water facilities that draw from 

groundwater sources in 11 States, and 209 school/

childcare facilities in 18 States. For private 

residences, samples were collected at the kitchen 

faucet after a significant volume of water had been 

used (i.e., after morning showers) to ensure that 

water from the pressure tank or any storage tanks 

was depleted and that the water sampled was from 

the well and not stagnant. It is assumed that most 

households do not spray household pesticides 

around the kitchen faucet; therefore, the chance 

of contamination is minimal. Figure 5 shows the 

distribution of groundwater collection sites for the 

2010 PDP testing program.

Schools and childcare facilities are often located 

on town perimeters due to lower land costs. 

Bringing utilities to these remote locations can be 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

expensive; therefore, onsite wells are often used for 

water supplies. As children are most susceptible to 

pesticides during their growth and developmental 

years and spend a significant portion of their lives at 

these locations, it is critical to have adequate data to 

evaluate children’s potential exposure to pesticides 

through the consumption of water. The expense 

of testing for a large suite of pesticide residues at 

part-per-trillion levels is cost-prohibitive to most 

schools and homeowners, as well as to county and 

State governments. PDP collaborated with these 

groups on sample collection and provided them 

with their individual sample results.

When pesticides are detected in groundwater, 

the source is not always the immediate surface 

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

recharging, the aquifer, often miles away. Thus, 

if pesticides are being used in the recharge zone, 

they may be transported through the aquifer to 

the well. The transport times from recharge points 

(where surface water and precipitation enter the 

ground en route to the aquifer) to the wells can 

take a significant amount of time, from many days 

to years. During this time, microbial and chemical 

degradation of the pesticide can occur. One can 

observe from the data in this report that it is often 

the pesticide metabolites that are detected and not 

the parent pesticide compound. 

Municipal Drinking Water

In 2001, PDP began testing municipal waters 

drawing from surface water sources because surface

water is more vulnerable to pesticides than 

municipal waters that draw from groundwater 

sources. Most municipal systems that draw water 

from groundwater obtain water from fairly deep 

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

susceptible to pesticide contamination. 

The sample collection sites are community water 

systems that draw water from surface water 

sources. Site selection was made in collaboration 

with EPA’s 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.

Samples were collected bimonthly by trained 

water treatment facility personnel. Paired 

samples of the raw intake water (untreated) and 

disinfected and 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. Dechlorination and 

preservative chemicals were added to the samples 

at the time of collection. Samples were packed 

with frozen cold packs and shipped overnight to 

the testing laboratories. 

Figure 6 shows the distribution of drinking water 

sites for the 2010 PDP testing program. Untreated 

and finished drinking water samples were collected 

from community water systems from 12 sites in 

9 States - Alabama, Georgia, Illinois (2 sites), 

Kansas, Louisiana (2 sites), Minnesota, North 

Carolina, Tennessee (2 sites), and Texas. Each 

watershed reflects the local topography, watershed 

size, geomorphology, soil types, geology, land 

use, land management practices, crop production, 

pesticides applied, and application methods. Due 

to the complexities associated with water quality 

assessments, these data reflect only the unique 

characteristics of the watersheds from which the 

samples were obtained.

III. Laboratory Operations 

♦ Overview

Thirteen laboratories (10 State and 3 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 continually 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 Commodities

Fruit and vegetable samples were tested for 307 

parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or 

isomers, plus 18 environmental contaminants using 

Multiresidue Methods (MRMs). Upon arrival at 

the testing facility, samples of fresh commodities 

were visually examined for acceptability and 

discarded if determined to be inedible (decayed, 

extensively bruised, or spoiled). Except for 

cantaloupe and oranges, fresh produce samples 

were washed under gently running cold water, 

emulating the practices of the average consumer 

to more closely represent actual exposure to 

residues. Samples were not cooked, bleached, 

or washed with detergents. Additionally, any 

inedible or damaged portions were removed prior 

to further preparation. For example, apples were 

cored and stems removed; oranges were peeled; 

sweet corn was husked and kernels removed from 

the cob, etc. Processed commodities were not 

washed or cooked prior to homogenization and 

were homogenized with all liquid that was present 

in the sample package. Orange juice concentrate 

was reconstituted according to package directions 

while ready-to-serve orange juice was simply 

mixed prior to removal of a portion for analysis. 

Detailed information on sample preparation for 

each commodity is available in the Laboratory 

Operations (PDP-LABOP) SOP on the PDP Web 

site at www.ams.usda.gov/pdp. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

Laboratories are permitted to refrigerate, up to 72 

hours, incoming fresh fruit and vegetable samples 

of the same commodity to allow for different 

sample arrival times from collection sites. Frozen 

and canned commodities may be held in storage 

(freezer or shelf) until the entire sample set is ready 

for analysis.

Samples are homogenized using choppers and/

or blenders and separated into analytical portions 

(aliquots) for analysis. If testing cannot be 

performed immediately, the entire analytical set 

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

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) 

requirements. Surplus aliquots not used for the 

initial testing are retained frozen in the event 

that replication of analysis or verification testing is 

required.

For analysis of fruit and vegetables, residues are 

extracted using organic solvents followed by 

cleanup procedures such as Solid Phase Extraction 

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

Washington laboratories used various QuEChERSbased1 approaches. The Texas laboratory used 

a modification of the MRM developed by the 

California Department of Food and Agriculture 

(CDFA). 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. All MRMs are determined, prior 

to use and through appropriate method validation

procedures, to produce equivalent data for PDP 

analytical purposes.

PDP laboratories primarily use gas chromatography 

(GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) instrumentation, coupled with tandem mass spectrometry 

(MS) detection systems for the simultaneous 

identification/confirmation and quantitation of 

pesticides. The use of these GC-MS/MS and LCMS/MS systems allows the program to capture 

data for a broad spectrum of pesticides, including 

emerging product chemistries.

♦ Macrocyclic Lactones

In 2010, PDP conducted a special survey of 

macrocyclic lactone compounds on lettuce. 

Homogenates of 743 lettuce samples were shipped 

by the Washington laboratory to the Colorado 

laboratory for the analysis of 9 macrocyclic 

lactone compounds (i.e., avermectin, doramectin, 

emamectin, eprinomectin, ivermectin, milbemectin, 

moxidectin, spinetoram, and spinosad). Samples 

were extracted using a modification of the 

QuEChERS method and analyzed using LC-MS/

MS.

♦ Oats

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, MO, 

analyzed oat samples for 70 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus 6 

environmental contaminants. Upon arrival at the 

testing facility, samples were visually examined for 

acceptability and discarded if spoiled, or otherwise 

inedible. Oat samples were refrigerated at 4°C or 

lower until time of grinding, after which the samples 

are stored at -80°C until extraction. 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 oat samples was accomplished using 

an acetonitrile-water solvent extraction and SPE 

cleanup coupled with GC-MS and LC-MS/MS 

detection.

♦ Eggs

The AMS NSL in Gastonia, NC, tested egg samples 

for 90 parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, 

and/or isomers, plus 16 environmental contaminants. 

Upon arrival at the testing facility, samples were 

visually examined for acceptability and discarded 

if warm to the touch, spoiled, or cracked/leaking. 

Eggs comprising a sample (≥10 eggs) were cracked 

into a clean container (blender vessel) and shells 

were discarded. If not homogenized immediately 

after arrival, samples were stored at 2-4 °C until 

homogenized. Homogenization occurred within 

3 days of receiving the samples. Samples were 

homogenized using a blender at low speed for 

approximately 20 seconds, with the introduction 

of air to the sample avoided as much as possible. 

Sample homogenates were placed into sample 

cups (approximately 90 ml per cup) and stored at 

-70°C prior to analysis. An approximately 15 gram 

aliquot was weighed for each sample followed 

by organic solvent extraction, centrifugation, and 

column/dispersive SPE clean up. 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. 

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

MS.

♦ Catfish

The AMS NSL in Gastonia, NC, tested catfish 

samples for 176 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, plus 19 environmental 

contaminants. 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. Samples were homogenized by 

grinding with dry ice in a large, high-speed food 

processor. 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 sample followed by 

organic solvent extraction and sample cleanup using 

ultra-low refrigeration (-70°C), centrifugation, and 

dispersive SPE. 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. Samples were 

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

♦ Potable Groundwater from Domestic and 

School/Childcare Facility Wells

In 2010, PDP conducted three groundwater testing 

studies: one for municipal water facilities that 

draw from groundwater sources, one for private 

domestic wells, and one for school/childcare 

facilities. Onsite wells providing drinking water to 

school/childcare facilities are regulated by EPA’s 

Office of Water under the Safe Drinking Water 

Act (SDWA) as non-transient, non-community 

water systems. SDWA requires testing for the 

23 compounds that have established maximum 

contaminant levels (MCLs). These compounds 

include only parent compounds – no metabolites 

are tested. In both surface and groundwater, 

metabolites, rather than parent compounds are 

more often detected. Furthermore, metabolites are 

often more water soluble and stable than parent 

compounds and are usually detected at higher 

concentrations than the parent compounds. EPA 

does not have established MCL levels or testing 

requirements for these metabolites. 

Private residential wells supply drinking water to 

approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population. 

Private wells serving a single or a few families 

are not regulated under SDWA, or by other EPA 

statutes. These wells are typically fairly shallow 

and are often sourcing the closest, or most shallow, 

water source. Homes with wells tend to be located 

in more rural locations, often in agricultural areas. 

Due to the cost of analysis, data on pesticides and 

metabolites for these domestic wells is scarce.

The Minnesota laboratory analyzed groundwater 

samples for 117 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers. These compounds were 

determined to be of interest to EPA based on data 

needs for risk assessment as required under FQPA. 

Each sample consisted of three 1-liter amber glass 

bottles. Upon arrival at the testing laboratory, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

(no leakage). Samples were refrigerated until time 

of analysis, which began within five working days 

of collection. One liter of the sample was extracted 

for compounds amenable to GC-MS analysis and 

one liter was extracted for compounds amenable to 

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

case of breakage or laboratory accident. 

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

The Montana and New York laboratories 

analyzed drinking water for 213 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, plus 12 

environmental contaminants. These compounds 

were determined to be of interest to EPA based on 

data needs for risk assessment as required under 

FQPA. Each sample consisted of three 1-liter 

amber glass bottles collected at the water treatment 

facility. Upon arrival at the testing laboratory, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

and discarded if warm to the touch or leaking. 

Samples were refrigerated until time of analysis and 

extracted within 96 hours of collection. A 1-liter 

bottle was extracted for compounds amenable to 

GC-MS or GC-MS/MS analysis and another bottle 

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

in reserve or extracted for specialty compounds 

requiring separate extraction/analytical procedures 

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

methods used were initially based on SPE methods 

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

these methods were modified to capture specific 

analytes of interest and were independently 

validated by each testing laboratory.

♦ Quality Assurance Program

The primary objectives of the QA/QC program 

are to ensure the reliability of PDP data and the 

performance equivalency of the participating 

laboratories. Direction for the PDP QA program 

is provided through SOPs initially based on EPA 

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). The PDP 

SOPs provide uniform administrative and sampling 

procedures, as well as laboratory operations and data 

analyses guidelines. The program SOPs are revised 

annually to accommodate changes in the program 

and are aligned with International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO1) requirements. PDP State 

laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025.

 1 “ISO” is not an acronym because the initials would be different in various official languages. “ISO” 

is adopted from the Greek word “isos” meaning equal.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

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 Quality Assurance 

Unit (QAU) at each participating facility. The QAU 

operates independently from the laboratory staff and 

is responsible for reviewing all data generated for 

PDP and for performing quarterly, internal program 

audits. Preliminary data review procedures are 

performed onsite by each laboratory’s QAU. Final 

review procedures are performed by MPO staff that 

are responsible for collating and reviewing data for 

conformance with SOPs.

Method Performance Requirements: Laboratories 

are required to determine and verify the limits of 

detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) 

for each pesticide/commodity pair. LODs depend 

on matrix, analyte, and methods used (extraction 

and instrumental). LODs for each pesticide/

commodity pair are shown in the applicable crop 

results appendix. Additional method performance/

validation requirements include modules for 

consistent instrument response (linearity), method 

range, and precision and accuracy.

Identification/Confirmation: Identification and 

confirmation is performed primarily by MS 

technologies. 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, 

and cleanup. To maximize sample output and 

decrease the QC/sample ratio, samples are analyzed 

in analytical sets that include the test samples and the 

following components:

• Reagent Blank - For analysis of fruit and vegetables, 

oats, eggs, and catfish, 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. 

The first portion is used to determine background 

information on naturally occurring chemicals and 

the second to prepare a matrix spike.

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

of matrix blank is spiked with marker pesticides to 

determine the precision and accuracy of the analyst 

and instrument performance. Marker pesticides 

are compounds selected from different pesticide 

classes (e.g., organochlorines, organophosphates, 

carbamates, conazoles, imidazolinones, macrocyclic 

lactones, neonicotinyls, phenoxy acid herbicides, 

pyrethroids, strobilurins, sulfonyl urea herbicides, 

triazines, uracils), with physical and chemical 

characteristics representative of their corresponding 

pesticide class. Marker pesticides may be used to 

monitor recovery instead of spiking all pesticides. 

This use of marker pesticides optimizes the resources 

required to analyze the thousands of analyte/matrix 

combinations in the program while still allowing 

evaluation of daily recovery patterns. In addition, 

each laboratory must perform matrix spikes at 

least quarterly for each analyte/crop combination it 

reports. Some laboratories choose to rotate spikes 

of all compounds on a set-to-set basis or spike all 

compounds analyzed with each set, so that the 

amount of spike recovery data obtained actually 

exceeds the minimal requirements previously 

stated. During 2010, PDP laboratories quantitated 

a total of 65,986 matrix spikes, with an overall 

mean recovery of 95 percent and an overall percent 

coefficient of variation (% C.V.) of 26 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 2010, PDP laboratories quantitated 

a total of 40,460 process controls on 12,845 samples, 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

19

with an overall mean recovery of 98 percent and 

an overall % C.V. of 22 percent. Of these process 

controls, 71 (0.2%) were reruns due to initial failure 

to meet PDP recovery criteria. The rerun values are 

not included in these statistics.

Proficiency Testing: All facilities are required 

to participate in PDP’s Proficiency Testing 

(PT) program. In order to properly benchmark 

performance, PDP laboratories participate in 

two international PT programs: AOAC and the 

Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme 

(FAPAS) PT program, administered by the Food 

and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, 

York, UK. In 2010, PDP laboratories that routinely 

analyze fruit and vegetables via MRMs participated 

in one AOAC round for lettuce. Lettuce samples 

were spiked with 10 compounds. PDP fruit and 

vegetable laboratories participated in one FAPAS 

round of apples that contained five fortified 

analytes. For AOAC and FAPAS, laboratories 

were evaluated based on z-scores for reported 

compounds, as well as any reported false negatives 

or false positives. PDP laboratories typically 

obtained z-scores less than two, which is deemed 

satisfactory performance.

In addition, PDP laboratories participate in an 

internal PT program that is tailored to current 

PDP commodities and testing profiles, including 

commodities for products other than fruit and 

vegetables that are not typically available from an 

outside source. For this internal program, the CDFA 

QAU prepares and issues rounds designed by MPO. 

Spiking compounds are selected with specificity 

and levels for each commodity. Fortification levels 

of selected analytes are generally 1 to 10 times the 

program LOQ for that commodity/compound pair. 

For each multiresidue round, one compound per set 

is typically repeated within the round to provide 

an indicator of repeatability. The resulting data are 

used to determine performance equivalency among 

the testing laboratories and to evaluate individual 

laboratory performance. 

During 2010, PDP laboratories received:

- Four multiresidue fruit and vegetable PT rounds 

(asparagus, grapes, oranges, and sweet potatoes), 

each consisting of three test samples. Each round 

was fortified with a total of 12 compounds.

- One catfish set consisting of 2 samples that were 

fortified with a total of 17 compounds,

- One oat set consisting of 3 samples that were 

fortified with a total of 11 compounds,

- One formetanate round consisting of fortified 

apple, orange, and pear samples, and

- One macrocylic lactone round consisting of 

two lettuce samples fortified with a total of 8 

compounds.

For water, 1 proficiency sample set was analyzed 

during 2010, with 11 compounds fortified in that 

round. A custom-designed test solution, based on 

testing profiles and detection limits, was used for 

spiking, rather than distribution of spiked samples, 

due to stability concerns. The vendor supplied each 

laboratory’s QAU with the specified solution, which 

was diluted according to program protocols. This 

solution was then used to fortify replicate samples 

collected from PDP sampling sites whose samples 

historically contained multiple pesticides but not 

those included in the spike solution. The spiked 

samples then were presented to the staff members 

of each respective laboratory for analysis.

Onsite Reviews: MPO staff performs onsite 

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 

onsite reviews.

IV. Database Management

 

PDP maintains an electronic database at the MPO 

in Manassas, VA, that serves as a central data 

repository. The data captured and stored in the PDP 

database include sample collection and product 

information, residue 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 7.

♦ 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 Web-based RDE system.

The RDE data entry screens have extensive editing 

functions and cross-checks built into the software to 

ensure valid values are entered for all critical data 

elements. This task is made easier by the practice 

of capturing and storing standardized codes for all 

critical alphanumeric data elements rather than their 

complete names, meanings, or descriptions. This 

coding scheme allows for faster and more accurate 

data entry, saves disk storage space, and allows 

the user to perform ad-hoc queries (data searches) 

on the database easily. The data entry screens also 

perform automatic edits on numeric fields, dates, 

and other character fields to ensure entries are within 

prescribed boundaries. 

At PDP headquarters, the RDE system allows staff 

chemists to review the data on-line and then to mark 

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

database. A separate upload application converts 

and passes the data to the PDP database, which 

is maintained using Microsoft® Access and SQL 

Server database tools. Access to the central PDP 

database is limited to MPO personnel only and is 

controlled through password protection and user 

access rights.

♦ Data Reporting 

The MPO 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 delimited text files that contain a portion of 

the sampling data, all 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 using common database 

management software packages.

V. Sample Results and Discussion

♦ Overview

In 2010, PDP conducted surveys on a variety of 

foods including fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables, oats, eggs, catfish, groundwater, and 

treated and untreated drinking water. Of the 12,845 

samples collected and analyzed, 10,974 were fresh 

and processed fruit and vegetable commodities, 

299 were oat samples, 371 were egg samples, 

384 were catfish samples, 250 were groundwater 

samples, and 567 were drinking water samples. 

Appendix B tabulates the distribution of residues 

in fruit and vegetables for the complete 2010 

data set. Information included in this appendix 

are: number of samples analyzed for a particular 

compound; number and percent of samples with 

detections; range of concentrations detected; 

range of analytical LODs; and EPA tolerance 

levels. Appendices C, D, E, F and G provide the 

distribution of residues for oats, eggs, catfish, 

groundwater, and treated and untreated drinking 

water, respectively. Appendix H tabulates the 

results for environmental contaminants across all 

commodities. Environmental contaminants have 

been consolidated into a single appendix because 

they have no registered uses and are not applied 

to crops. These compounds are subject to FDA 

action levels, rather than tolerances. Because 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

22

environmental contaminants continue to persist in 

the environment, they are unavoidable and may be 

present in food commodities at generally low levels. 

All individual sample data can be downloaded from 

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

or obtained by contacting MPO.

For fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, eggs, 

catfish, and oats, 73.8 percent of all samples were 

produced in the United States, 23.8 percent were 

imports, 1.4 percent were of mixed origin, and 1.0 

percent were of unknown origin. Appendix I shows 

the distribution of sample origin by State or country. 

Of the domestic samples, approximately 35 percent 

(3,101 of 8,876) were grown, packed, and/or 

distributed in or from California. Groundwater and 

drinking water are excluded from Appendix I since 

the samples targeted rely on differential sampling 

frames and are not collected from routine PDP 

sample collection locations (i.e., terminal markets 

and large chain store distribution centers throughout 

the country). Groundwater samples are collected 

from private domestic wells and school/childcare 

facilities while treated and untreated drinking 

water samples are collected from community 

water treatment facilities. Appendix J includes a 

comparison of residues for selected commodities 

with a significant import component.

Food monitoring data, together with dietary 

consumption surveys, are used by EPA to estimate 

dietary exposure to pesticides to ensure the safety 

of existing pesticide uses. EPA uses all results 

reported by PDP, including sample results reported 

as below the LOD and those above the tolerance. 

PDP laboratories are required to establish LODs 

and report any instrumental response below 

the LOD as a non-detect. LODs are established 

experimentally for each pesticide/commodity pair 

and are reported with each data set. The number of 

non-detects can be used in conjunction with percent 

crop treated data to determine what proportion of 

these values may be counted as zero towards the 

dietary exposure.

♦ Baby Food 

Baby food samples were tested in the laboratory 

as processed products – contents of individual 

containers within a sample were mixed until 

homogeneous, and then an analytical portion was 

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

are shown in Appendices B, K, and M.

♦ Import vs. Domestic Residue Comparisons 

Information about the origin of each PDP sample 

is recorded when the sample is collected. Figure 

3 illustrates the portion of the domestic and import 

component for each of the PDP fruit and vegetable 

commodities in 2010. The data generated by PDP 

reflect pesticide residues in foods, both domestic and 

imported products, available to the U.S. consumer. 

Many commodities are almost entirely of domestic 

origin, such as cabbage (94.5%), lettuce (98.4%), 

and sweet potatoes (99.1%) with only minor import 

(4.4%, 1.5%, and 0.4%, respectively) and unknown 

origins (1.1%, 0.1%, and 0.5%, respectively). Other 

fresh commodities, such as cucumbers, grapes, and 

sweet bell peppers, are from domestic growers 

part of the year and imported during the remaining 

months, as illustrated in Figure 4.

Comparisons of selected residues detected in 

imported versus domestic grapes and sweet 

bell peppers can be found in Appendix J. These 

sample sets were selected to compare data where 

residues are present in greater than 10 percent of 

the commodity and allow for the comparison of 

individual residues. These data also show that the 

residue profiles for domestic and imported crops 

are significantly different. 

The grape data in Appendix J illustrate that in 2010 

fenhexamid, imidacloprid, iprodione, myclobutanil, 

quinoxyfen, and tebuconazole were detected more 

frequently in imported samples than in domestic 

samples. For example, fenhexamid was detected 

in 44.7 percent of the samples from Chile and 10.5 

percent of the U.S. samples. Iprodione was detected 

in 25.1 percent of the Chilean samples and in 2.9 

percent of the domestic samples. Methoxyfenozide, 

pyraclostrobin, and trifloxystrobin were detected 

more frequently in U.S. samples than in Chilean 

samples. Methoxyfenozide was detected in 29.7 

percent of U.S. samples and 2.8 percent of Chilean 

samples. Pyraclostrobin was found in 59.8 percent 

of U.S. samples and 41.1 percent of Chilean 

samples while trifoxystrobin was detected in 43.7

23

percent of domestic samples and 21.3 percent of 

samples from Chile. Boscalid, cyprodinil, and 

pyrimethanil were detected with relatively equal 

frequency in both the U.S. and Chilean grapes. 

For sweet bell peppers, the following residues 

were detected more often in imported samples: 

acetamiprid, boscalid, clothianidin, endosulfan 

I and sulfate, metalaxyl, myclobutanil, oxamyl 

oxime, cis and trans permethrin, prallethrin, 

and thiamethoxam. For example, boscalid was 

detected in 42.2 percent of Mexican peppers 

and in 2.6 percent of U.S. peppers. Endosulfan 

sulfate was detected in 43.4 percent of Mexican 

samples and in 4.7 percent of U.S. samples. 

Acephate, azoxystrobin, bifenthrin, imidacloprid, 

methamidophos, and pyraclostrobin were detected 

with relatively equal frequency in both the U.S. 

and Mexican sweet bell peppers.

All pesticides detected were registered in the U.S., 

however, the profiles of residue findings were 

markedly different in the U.S. samples versus 

samples from these exporting countries. The 

differences in residue detections between countries 

were likely due to the pesticides used in response 

to pest pressures based on differing environmental, 

climatic, and growing conditions.

♦ Postharvest Applications

Pesticides can be applied before and after harvest 

depending on the crop and approved label use. 

PDP data capture both preharvest and postharvest 

uses because samples are collected at points when 

all pesticide applications have already occurred. 

Pesticides applied postharvest are used primarily 

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

o-phenylphenol, and thiabendazole) and sprouting 

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

reported in Appendix B most likely reflect 

postharvest applications to the raw agricultural 

commodity.

♦ Results Discussion

There are many pesticides registered for use on the 

same crop; however, not all crops are sprayed and 

not all available pesticides are used at the same time 

or location. Pesticide use is primarily dictated by 

local pest pressures. These differences are captured 

by PDP data which reflect actual residues present 

in food grown in various regions of the U.S. and 

overseas. Thus, in evaluating consumer exposure 

to pesticides through the diet, EPA uses all available 

information provided by registrants, PDP, and others 

to verify that tolerances meet the safety standards 

set by FQPA. The reporting of residues present 

at levels below the established tolerance serves to 

ensure and verify the safety of the Nation’s food 

supply.

Food commodities with pesticides detected in 

at least 5 percent of samples tested are shown in 

Appendix K. The data shown include the range and 

mean of values detected and U.S. EPA tolerance 

references for each pair.

By virtue of the MRMs employed, PDP provides 

novel data that can be used by EPA to evaluate 

exposure to multiple residues from the same 

commodity. The data are crucial for assessments 

that consider cumulative exposure to pesticides 

determined to have common mechanisms of 

toxicity. The distribution of multiple pesticides 

occurring in samples tested during 2010 is presented 

in Appendix L. 

These data indicate that 41.0 percent of all samples 

tested, excluding groundwater and treated and 

untreated drinking water, contained no detectable 

pesticides, 18.5 percent contained 1 pesticide, and 

40.5 percent contained more than 1 pesticide. Parent 

compounds and their metabolites are combined to 

report the number of “pesticides” rather than the 

number of “residues”. Environmental contaminants, 

listed in Appendix H, have been excluded from this 

count of pesticides. 

Fifteen pesticides were detected in one grape 

sample. Most multiple residue detections result 

from the application of more than one pesticide 

on a crop during a growing season; however, a 

number of other factors could contribute to multiple 

detections. Unintentional spray drift in the field, 

planting of crops in fields previously treated with the 

pesticide, and/or transfer of residues of postharvest 

fungicides applied to other commodities stored in 

the same storage facilities could all contribute to 

residue detections.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

24

In most cases, samples analyzed by PDP are 

composites of 3 to 5 pounds of commodity from the 

same lot. Therefore, the estimated concentrations 

for multiple residue detections in these composite 

sample results may or may not reflect the number 

or levels of pesticides in a single serving item of a 

commodity.

♦ Special Projects

Macrocyclic Lactones: The Colorado laboratory 

conducted testing on 743 lettuce homogenate 

samples for 9 compounds in the macrocyclic 

lactone class of pesticides, which require specialty 

analysis. These compounds were: avermectin, 

doramectin, emamectin, eprinomectin, ivermectin, 

milbemectin, moxidectin, spinetoram, and spinosad. Appendix B shows that of the nine compounds 

tested, two different residues were detected at levels 

below EPA-established tolerances. Spinetoram 

was detected in 2.2 percent of the samples while 

spinosad was detected in 7.1 percent of the samples 

analyzed.

Oats: The USDA GIPSA laboratory conducted 

testing on 299 oat samples. Appendix C shows 

that six different residues (including metabolites), 

representing six pesticides, were detected in the 

oat samples. The most frequently detected residue 

was parathion methyl oxygen analog which 

was detected in seven samples (2.3%). MGK264 was detected in four samples (1.3%) and 

piperonyl butoxide was detected in three samples 

(1.0%). Malathion, methoprene, and phenothrin 

were each detected in one sample (0.3%). All 

residue detections were lower than the established 

tolerances for those compounds with established 

tolerances.

Eggs: The AMS NSL conducted testing for 

pesticide residues on 371 egg samples. Overall, 

six different residues (including metabolites), 

representing five pesticides, were detected in the 

egg samples. The most frequently detected residue 

was piperonyl butoxide which was detected in 

seven samples (1.9%). Fluvalinate was detected in 

three samples (0.8%) and 1-naphthol, a metabolite 

of carbaryl, was detected in two samples (0.5%). 

Carbaryl, tetrachlorvinphos, and trifloxystrobin 

were each detected in one sample (0.3%). All 

residue detections were lower than the established 

tolerances for those compounds with established 

tolerances.

Catfish: The AMS NSL conducted testing for 

pesticide residues on 384 catfish samples. Overall, 

23 different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 22 pesticides, were detected in the 

catfish samples. The following residues were 

detected in more than 5 percent of the samples: 

bifenthrin (33.9%), chlorpyrifos (9.6%), endosulfan 

sulfate (7.8%), diuron (6.2%), and diphenylamine 

(5.2%). 

Pesticides present in water as contaminants may 

be taken up by catfish, resulting in the detection of 

pesticides with no tolerance established. For these 

reasons, catfish residue results, along with results 

from groundwater and drinking water, are excluded 

when providing overall residue counts.

♦ Potable Groundwater

In 2010, 27 groundwater samples were collected from 

private domestic wells. Municipal water facilities 

that draw from groundwater sources provided 

14 samples. School/childcare facilities provided 

209 samples. Overall, PDP detected 24 different 

residues (including metabolites), representing 18 

pesticides, in the groundwater samples. Most of the 

detections were for herbicides or their metabolites. 

The samples with detectable residues came from 

63 different sites. Residue profiles are shown in 

Appendix F.

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

PDP analyzed 567 water samples (283 untreated 

samples and 284 finished samples) from community 

water systems. Appendix G shows the concentration 

of detected residues in treated and untreated water. 

Sixty-five different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 53 pesticides, were detected in the 

finished drinking water and 54 different residues 

(including metabolites), representing 43 pesticides, 

were detected in the untreated intake water. The 

majority of pesticides included in the PDP testing 

profiles were not detected; those compounds that 

were detected were primarily commonly used 

herbicides and their metabolites.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

Water treatment technologies vary widely and 

may be based on the local water chemistry, 

targeted contaminants needing removal, and cost. 

In most cases, treated samples had fewer residues 

and lower concentrations than their untreated 

counterpart. In these cases, the effectiveness of 

water treatment in removing/reducing pesticide 

levels is seen. In a few cases, treated samples 

contained a residue that was not detected in the 

untreated sample or contained a residue at a 

higher concentration than the paired untreated 

sample. The data acquired to date indicate that in 

these cases the water treatment process removed 

matrix interferences, allowing for a more efficient 

extraction or more sensitive measurement in the 

treated water; this is not the result of a pesticide 

being added during the treatment process, nor does 

it indicate pesticide use in the treatment facility. 

Depending on the treatment process employed, 

individual pesticides are entirely, partially, or not 

removed during the treatment process.

Appendix G also lists the MCL and/or Health 

Advisory (HA) values. In 2010, there were two 

sites where detected residues exceeded an MCL. 

Both of these exceedances were due to atrazine 

[3,686 parts per trillion (ppt) and 4,200 ppt]. 

The MCL for atrazine is 3,000 ppt; however, 

this is based on an annual average and is set 

conservatively for long-term exposure. Drinking 

water utilities average the results for samples 

collected over each quarter for the year. If the 

annual average exceeds 3,000 ppt, a regulatory 

action is triggered. For shorter intervals a value 

of 37,500 ppt is used for a 90-day average. For 

short-term exposure (i.e., single-event, one day 

occurrences), a value of 298,000 ppt is used 

(www.epa.gov/opp00001/reregistration/atrazine/

atrazine_update.htm). Figure 8 shows that for the 

2 sites where PDP detected concentrations above 

3,000 ppt, these elevated concentrations were 

short-term fluxes and that the annual averages (the 

average of PDP measured data) were only 308 

and 458 ppt, neither of which value would trigger 

regulatory action. In Figure 8, it is interesting to 

note that for the two events where there were high 

concentration of atrazine detected, the metabolite 

concentrations were only slightly elevated, 

indicating that these high atrazine concentrations 

were from large rain events; in these cases, a few 

days after application. Data such as the PDP data 

are useful to utilities in order to know the timing 

and duration of pesticide fluxes so that they can 

determine whether additional treatment is needed 

to remove these compounds. Treatment means 

extra cost. Minimizing the duration of additional 

or unnecessary treatment keeps consumer costs to 

a minimum.

The data in Figure 8 are from surface water 

sources. Pesticides in these water bodies typically 

result from rain events that wash pesticides into 

rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs, allowing 

comparatively little time for degradation. In 

groundwater, the concentrations of the metabolites 

are often much higher than the parent compounds 

as movement of groundwater is typically much 

slower than surface water and there has been more 

time for degradation. 

Besides the above mentioned atrazine findings, 

none of the other detections in the finished water 

samples exceeded established EPA MCL or HA 

levels; however, many of the compounds in the 

PDP testing profiles do not have established 

regulatory standards. The EPA MCL applies 

only to treated drinking water, not the ambient, 

untreated water. Therefore, 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 2010, no detections, in either 

treated or untreated water, exceeded established 

FAO levels. Additional information regarding 

EPA drinking water standards is available at: 

http://www.epa.gov/safewater/ standards/setting.

♦ Environmental Contaminants

Environmental contaminants are pesticides whose 

uses have been canceled in the United States, 

but their residues persist in the environment, 

particularly in soil, where they may be taken up by 

plants. PDP tracks environmental contaminants 

to monitor their presence in the environment and 

provides these data to Codex Alimentarius. These

values measure bi-monthly in 2010 for two sites, one each in Louisiana and Tennessee. Each site exhibited a 

single flux during April/May which resulted in the exceedence of the atrazine MCL of 3,000 ppt.

data are also used to facilitate international trade. 

Residue results for environmental contaminants 

may be found in Appendix H.

DDT, DDD, and DDE: PDP screened samples for 

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

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

DDE p,p’. Use of DDT has been prohibited in 

the United States since 1972; however, due to its 

persistence in the environment, low level residues 

of DDT and its DDD and DDE metabolites were 

detected in some commodities tested. DDE p,p’ 

was detected mainly in catfish (65.9%), cilantro 

(24.0%), and frozen spinach (11.0%). DDD p,p’ 

was detected in catfish (27.1%), DDT o,p’ was 

detected in cilantro (25.4%), and DDD o,p’ was 

detected in cilantro (11.0%). Except for cilantro, 

all residues detected were lower than established 

FDA Action Levels (ALs) – no ALs have been 

established for cilantro for any of the environmental 

contaminants screened. No DDT or any of its 

metabolites were detected in groundwater or 

drinking water samples (treated or untreated).

Other Extraneous Pesticides: PDP screened 

samples for other environmental contaminants 

including: aldrin; BHC; chlordane (cis/trans) 

and its metabolite oxychlordane; dieldrin; 

endrin; heptachlor and its epoxide metabolite; 

hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and nonachlor (cis/

trans). HCB was used as a seed protectant until 

1965 but, due to its persistence, remains in soil 

and grasses. In 1974, all aldrin and dieldrin uses 

were canceled in the United States and, in 1978, 

all heptachlor uses were canceled. In 1986, 

chlordane uses, except termiticide uses, were 

canceled. Despite these cancellations and because 

they persist in the environment, residues of BHC, 

chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor epoxide, 

HCB, and nonachlor were detected in some of the 

tested commodities. For example, chlordane (cis) 

was detected in 8.5 percent of cilantro samples 

and chlordane (trans) was detected in 7.6 percent 

of the cilantro samples, while 5.6 percent of the 

cucumber samples had detections of dieldrin. All 

other detections of environmental contaminant 

residues were at a frequency below 5 percent. For 

all cases, the detected levels were much lower 

than the FDA action levels, where applicable – no 

action levels have been established for cilantro for 

any of the environmental contaminants screened. 

None of the tested groundwater or drinking water 

samples (treated or untreated) had residues of 

aldrin, chlordane or its metabolite oxychlordane, 

dieldrin, endrin, or heptachlor epoxide. 

♦ 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. The FQPA 

of 1996 contains an amendment to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act 

that requires the EPA to review each pesticide 

registration every 15 years. Timely pesticide 

data provided by PDP enables the EPA to refine 

risk estimates used in the pesticide reregistration 

process. 

A tolerance violation occurs when a residue is 

found that exceeds the tolerance level or when a 

residue is found for which there is no established 

tolerance. With the exception of meat, poultry, and 

egg products, for which USDA is responsible, FDA 

enforces tolerances for all imported and domestic 

foods that move through interstate commerce. 

Unlike enforcement programs, PDP emphasizes 

determination of residues at the lowest detectable 

levels rather than quick turn-around times. When 

PDP identifies samples with residues exceeding 

the tolerance or with residues for which there is 

no established tolerance, these detections are 

reported to FDA regional and headquarters offices. 

This notification is made in accordance with a 

Memorandum of Understanding between USDA 

and FDA for the purpose of pinpointing areas where 

closer surveillance may be needed. FDA assesses 

PDP apparent violation data for appropriateness for 

follow-up under its regulatory pesticide program. 

Due to the time period required for completion 

of PDP analyses and data reporting, FDA followup will usually be at a subsequent harvest or 

commodity availability period. In instances where 

a PDP finding is extraordinary and may pose a 

safety risk, FDA is immediately notified.

Residues exceeding the established tolerance are 

noted with an “X” in Appendices B, C, D, and E. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2010

28

Similarly, residues for which a tolerance is not 

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

annotations are followed by a number indicating 

the number of samples reported to FDA. The EPA 

tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices 

apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There 

may be instances where tolerances may have been 

recently set or revoked that would have an effect 

on whether a residue is violative.

An established tolerance may apply to more than 

one residue because pesticides may break down 

into more than one metabolite or contain more 

than one isomer. For example, the tolerance for 

endosulfan combines residues of endosulfan 

I, endosulfan II, and endosulfan sulfate; and 

organophosphate tolerances may combine the 

parent compound and the sulfone and sulfoxide 

metabolites. Therefore, where applicable, the 

pesticide violations in Appendix M are combined 

residues of parent and any isomers and/or 

metabolites to count the total number of samples 

with tolerance violations.

Excluding water and catfi sh, a total of 559 

samples with 828 pesticides were reported to 

the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations. 

Pesticides exceeding the tolerance were detected 

in 29 (0.25%) of the 11,644 samples tested. 

The samples containing pesticides that exceed 

established tolerances include: one apple sample, 

two asparagus samples, two cilantro samples, 

three cucumber samples, two grape samples, 

one pear sample, four frozen spinach samples, 

four samples of sweet bell peppers, seven sweet 

potato samples, and three watermelon samples. Of 

those 29 samples, 17 were reported as imported 

produce. Twenty-eight samples contained one 

pesticide exceeding the established tolerance and 

one sample contained two pesticides exceeding the 

established tolerances.

Pesticides with no established tolerance were found 

in 497 (4.3%) of the 11,644 samples tested, which 

included 488 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 

3 egg samples, and 6 processed fruit/vegetable 

samples. The 6 processed fruit/vegetable samples 

were baby food green beans and baby food pears. 

There were 320 samples with 1 pesticide each, 112 

samples with 2 pesticides each, 47 samples with 

3 pesticides each, 14 samples with 4 pesticides 

each, and 4 samples with 5 pesticides each. Four 

samples with pesticides having no established 

tolerance also contained one pesticide each that 

exceeded an established tolerance. In most cases, 

these pesticides with no established tolerance were 

detected at very low levels. Some pesticide residues 

may have resulted from unintentional spray drift 

in the fi eld, planting of crops in fi elds previously 

treated with the pesticide, or transfer of pesticide 

residues of postharvest fungicides applied to other 

commodities stored in the same storage facilities. 

The pesticide levels and commodities are listed in 

Appendix M.

Appendix B

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Fruit and Vegetables

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

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

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

this summary and Appendices apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be

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

whether a residue is violative or not.

In 2010, 10,974 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 9,211 were fresh

product and 1,763 were processed product.

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

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

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

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

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

in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are

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

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including fruit and

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

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

NOTES

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

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

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

(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.

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

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

apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or

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

Appendix B. Page 77 of 77
Appendix C

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Oats

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

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

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

and Appendices apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be instances where

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

residue is violative or not.

In 2010, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 299 oat samples. PDP detected 6

different residues (including metabolites) in the oat samples. All residue detections were lower

than the established tolerances for those compounds with established tolerances.

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

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

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” column to the right of the

pesticide name and are annotated as “X” (if the residue exceeded the established tolerance) or

“V” (if the residue did not have a tolerance listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40,

Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are followed by a number indicating the number of

samples reported to FDA.

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

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

applied to crops (see Appendix H).

In 2010, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 371 egg samples. PDP detected 6

different residues (including metabolites), representing 5 pesticides. All residue detections were

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

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

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

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” column to the right of the

apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or

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

Appendix D. Page 3 of 3
Appendix E

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Catfish

Appendix E shows residue detections for all compounds tested in catfish, including

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

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

summary and Appendices apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be instances

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

a residue is violative or not.

In 2010, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 384 catfish samples. PDP

detected 23 different residues (including metabolites), representing 22 pesticides, in the catfish

samples. Pesticides present in water as contaminants may be taken up by catfish, resulting in

the detection of pesticides with no tolerance established. EPA is addressing these issues under

environmental effect assessments. For these reasons, catfish residue results, along with results

from groundwater and drinking water, are excluded when providing overall residue counts.

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

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

applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

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

NA = Findings in catfish are covered by tolerances established for fish, by tolerances set for pesticide uses in food

handling establishments, and by action levels set for persistent chemicals commonly found in the enviroment.

In addition, there are other findings that may arise from a number of attributable sources including runoff from

agricultural uses to water sources or ponds. For the latter group, where no specific tolerance has been

established, “NA” has been entered as the tolerance value.

Appendix F

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Groundwater

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

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

trillion (ppt).

In 2010, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 250 groundwater samples from

250 different collection sites, including 209 from school/daycare wells, 27 from private

residential wells, and 14 from municipal water facilities that draw from a groundwater source.

PDP detected 24 different residues (including metabolites), representing 18 pesticides, in the

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

residues came from 63 different sites.

Results for environmental contaminants across all commodities, including groundwater,

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

not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

Appendix G

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Drinking Water

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

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

Environmental 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 2010, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 567 drinking water samples,

including 284 finished drinking water samples and 283 untreated (raw intake) drinking water

samples. PDP detected 65 different residues (including metabolites), representing 53

pesticides, in finished drinking water and 54 different residues (including metabolites),

representing 43 pesticides, in the untreated intake water; most of the detections were

herbicides. Two of the finished drinking water samples exceeded the EPA MCL for Atrazine.

None of the finished drinking water samples exceeded EPA 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 non-carcinogenic 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/wqctable/index.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.

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

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

not applied to crops (see Appendix H).

NOTES

1

= EPA MCL, HA, 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.

2

= EPA Health Advisory values shown are for lifetime exposure.

3

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

^

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

Pesticide Types:

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

P = Plant Growth Regulator

Appendix G. Page 15 of 15
Appendix H

Distribution of Residues

for Environmental Contaminants

Appendix H shows residue detections across all commodities for 22 compounds

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

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

for each pair. Results for environmental contaminants have been consolidated in this appendix

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

The EPA tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices apply to 2010 and not to the

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

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

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

Level values established by FDA. Under the Food Quality protection Act, responsibility for

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

used.

NOTES

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

AL = Numbers shown are Action Levels established by FDA for some pesticides. Under the Food Quality Protection Act, responsibility

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

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

NA = Findings in catfish are covered by tolerances established for fish, by tolerances set for pesticide uses in food handling

establishments, and by action levels set for persistent chemicals commonly found in the enviroment. In addition, there are

other findings that may arise from a number of attributable sources including runoff from agricultural uses to water sources

or ponds. For the latter group, where no specific tolerance has been established, “NA” has been entered as the tolerance value.

(ppt) = Findings in water are expressed in parts-per-trillion (ppt). All other findings are expressed in parts-per-million (ppm).

Appendix H. Page 7 of 7
Appendix I

Sample Origin by State or Country

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor)

Appendix I gives the number of fruit and vegetable, oat, egg, and catfish 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 I, fruit and vegetable, oat, egg, and catfish samples originated

from 39 States, 1 U.S. territory, and 30 foreign countries. There were 170 samples from mixed

national origins (multiple countries). There were 552 domestic and 4 imported samples from

unknown States and countries, respectively. There were an additional 118 samples from

unknown origins. Overall, for all samples except groundwater and drinking water, 73.8 percent

were from U.S. sources, 23.8 percent were imports, 1.4 percent were of mixed national origin,

and 1.0 percent were of unknown origin.

Appendix J

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

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

from the United States are compared with data for samples originating in Chile for 2010.

Residue data for domestic sweet bell peppers are compared with data for samples originating in

Mexico for 2010. 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

likely due to the pesticides used in response to pest pressures based on differing

environmental, climatic, and growing conditions.

Appendix K shows 206 commodity/pesticide pairs (including metabolites, isomers, and

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

the range and mean of values detected and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

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

apply to 2010 and not to the current year. There may be instances where tolerances may have

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

NT No tolerance established.

NA Findings in catfish are covered by tolerances established for fish, by tolerances set for pesticide uses in food

handling establishments, and by action levels set for persistent chemicals commonly found in the enviroment.

In addition, there are other findings that may arise from a number of attributable sources including runoff from

agricultural uses to water sources or ponds. For the latter group, where no specific tolerance has been

established, “NA” has been entered as the tolerance value.

Appendix L

Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample

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

per sample, excluding groundwater and drinking water samples. The graph and data 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 12,028 samples analyzed, 41.0 percent

of the samples had no detectable pesticides, 18.5 percent had 1 pesticide, and 40.5 percent of

the samples had more than 1 pesticide.

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

compound and its metabolites are reported as a single pesticide.

Appendix M

Fruit and Vegetable Samples Reported to the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration as

Exceeding the Tolerance

or Without Established Tolerance

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

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

(FDA) as exceeding the tolerance or residues for which no established tolerance was listed under the 

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180. In 2010, a total of 522 samples with 791 pesticides 

were reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations.

 Catfi sh and water are not included in this appendix because residue levels, if found, are mainly 

the result of environmental contamination or transfer, rather than from registered agricultural uses on 

the commodity. Pesticides exceeding the tolerance were detected in 29 samples including 1 apple 

sample, 2 asparagus samples, 2 cilantro samples, 3 cucumber samples, 2 grape samples, 1 pear 

sample, 4 frozen spinach samples, 4 samples of sweet bell peppers, 7 sweet potato samples, and 3 

watermelon samples. Of those 29 samples, 17 were reported as imported produce.

 o 28 samples contained one pesticide exceeding the established tolerance.

 o 1 sample of asparagus, originating from Ecuador, contained two pesticides 

 exceeding the established tolerance – cyhalothrin and cypermethrin; no other 

 pesticides were detected in this sample.

 In addition, 497 samples were found to have pesticides for which no tolerance was 

established, including 488 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 6 processed fruit/vegetable samples, 

and 3 egg samples.

 o 320 samples contained 1 pesticide for which no tolerance was established.

 o 112 samples contained 2 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

 o 47 samples contained 3 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

 o 14 samples contained 4 pesticides for which no tolerance was established.

 o 4 samples of cilantro contained 5 pesticides for which no tolerance was 

 established.

 

 Four of the 497 samples also contained 1 pesticide each that exceeded an established 

tolerance. 

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

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

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

In instances where both parent and metabolite (or isomer) were detected, the Pesticide Data Program 

accounted for both as part of the same tolerance expression.

 A number of the fi ndings shown in this appendix are less than 0.01 ppm. Levels below 0.01 

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

NOTES

1

These results have been communicated to EPA and FDA. It should be noted that a number of these chemicals are

approved for use in parsley, a commodity similar in appearance to cilantro.

2 Carbofuran, cilantro: Three samples contained only the parent, carbofuran, and three samples contained the parent and its

3-hydroxy metabolite.

3 Diazinon, cilantro: Seventy-seven samples contained only the parent, diazinon, and one sample contained the parent and its

oxygen analog metabolite.

4 Dimethoate/omethoate, cilantro: Two samples contained only the omethoate metabolite and six samples contained the

omethoate metabolite and its parent, dimethoate. Dimethoate/omethoate, cucumbers: One sample contained only the parent,

dimethoate, and four samples contained the omethoate metabolite and its parent, dimethoate. Dimethoate/omethoate,

mangoes: One sample contained only the omethoate metabolite and two samples contained the omethoate metabolite and

its parent, dimethoate.

5 Endosulfan (mixture of Endosulfan I and II isomers), cilantro: Four samples contained only the endosulfan I isomer and two samples

contained the endosulfan I and endosulfan II isomers of the parent compound. Endosulfan, mangoes: One sample contained only

the endosulfan sulfate metabolite and one sample contained the endosulfan sulfate metabolite and the endosulfan I isomer of

the parent compound.

6 Permethrin (mixture of cis and trans isomers), cilantro: Two samples contained only the cis permethrin isomer and one sample

contained only the trans permethrin isomer. Nine samples contained both the cis and trans isomers of the parent compound.

Permethrin, hot peppers: Three samples contained only the trans permethrin isomer and one sample contained both the cis

and trans isomers of the parent compound.

7 Quintozene (PCNB), cilantro: Twenty-four samples contained only the pentachloroaniline (PCA) metabolite and three samples

contained the PCA metabolite and its parent, quintozene (PCNB). One additional sample contained the PCA, pentachlorobenzene

(PCB), and pentachlorophenyl methyl sulfide (PCPMS) metabolites and their parent, PCNB.

8

Fenamiphos, cucumbers: One sample contained only the sulfoxide metabolite and four samples contained the sulfoxide and

sulfone metabolites. Two additional samples contained the parent, fenamiphos, and its sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites.

9 Aldicarb, grapes: One sample contained both the sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites.

10 Parathion methyl, hot peppers: Three samples contained only the parent, parathion methyl, and one sample contained the

parent and its oxygen analog metabolite.

Note:

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

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