Dear Reader: 

We are pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 28th Annual Summary for 

calendar year 2018. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) conducts this program each year to collect data on pesticide residues in food. 

This report shows that when pesticide residues are found on foods, they are nearly always at 

levels below the tolerance, or maximum amount of a pesticide allowed to remain in or on a 

food, that is set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

PDP provides high-quality, nationally representative data to help ensure consumer confidence in 

the foods they provide to their families. Over 99 percent of the products sampled through PDP 

had residues below the EPA tolerances. Ultimately, if EPA determines a pesticide is not safe for 

human consumption, it is removed from the market. 

The PDP tests a wide variety of domestic and imported foods, with a strong focus on foods 

that are consumed by infants and children. EPA relies on PDP data to conduct dietary risk 

assessments and to ensure that any pesticide residues in foods remain at safe levels. USDA

uses the data to better understand the relationship of pesticide residues to agricultural practices 

and to enhance USDA’s Integrated Pest Management objectives. USDA also works with U.S. 

growers to improve agricultural practices. 

The PDP is not designed for enforcement of EPA pesticide residue tolerances. Rather, the 

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for enforcing EPA tolerances. PDP

provides FDA and EPA with monthly reports of pesticide residue testing and informs the FDA if 

residues detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. 

The PDP works with State agencies representing all census regions of the country and 

approximately half of the U.S. population. In 2018, samples were collected and analyzed in 

California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, 

and Washington.

Executive Summary 

In 1991, the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

was charged with designing and implementing the 

Pesticide Data Program (PDP) to collect data on 

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

most likely consumed by infants and children. This 

28th Pesticide Data Program summary presents 

results for samples collected in 2018. 

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, EPA reviews studies on the pesticide 

to ensure that it will not pose unreasonable risks to 

human health or the environment. Once EPA has 

made that determination, it will license or register 

that pesticide for use in strict accordance with label 

directions. 

Before allowing a pesticide to be used on a food 

commodity, EPA sets limits on how much of a 

pesticide may be used on food during growing, 

processing, and storage, and how much can remain 

on the food that reaches the consumer. In setting 

the tolerance, EPA makes a safety finding that the 

pesticide can be used with a reasonable certainty of 

no harm by considering the toxicity of the pesticide, 

how much of the pesticide is applied and how often, 

how much of the pesticide remains in or on food 

by the time it is marketed and prepared, and all 

possible routes of exposure including use on crops, 

exposure from drinking water, and residential 

exposure. 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’s Monitoring Programs Division (MPD) is 

responsible for the administration, planning, and 

coordination of day-to-day PDP operations. MPD 

meets regularly with EPA and other Government 

agencies to establish program priorities and 

direction. In 2018, sampling and/or testing program 

operations were carried out with the support of 10 

States: California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

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

and Washington. These States had a prominent role 

in program planning and policy setting, particularly 

policies relating to quality assurance. 

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 consider 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 

the farm gate) and reflect what is typically available 

to the consumer throughout the year. Samples are 

selected without regard to country of origin, variety, 

growing season, or organic labeling. 

Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables accounted 

for 87.8 percent of the total 10,545 samples collected 

in 2018. Other samples collected included rice 

(1.8 percent), wheat flour (7.2 percent), and heavy 

cream (3.2 percent). Fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables tested during 2018 were: asparagus, 

cabbage, cilantro, cranberries (canned and frozen), 

garbanzo beans (canned), green onions, kale, kiwi 

fruit, mangoes, olives (canned), peaches (canned), 

plums (dried/prunes), raisins, snap peas, spinach 

(frozen), strawberries (frozen), sweet peas (frozen), 

and sweet potatoes. Domestic samples accounted for 

66.2 percent of the samples, while 32.1 percent were 

imports, 1.3 percent were of mixed national origin, 

and 0.4 percent were of unknown origin. 

Because PDP data are mainly used for risk 

assessments, PDP laboratory methods are geared 

to detect the lowest possible levels of pesticide 

residues, even when those levels are well below 

the tolerances established by EPA. Prior to testing, 

PDP analysts washed samples for 15 to 20 seconds 

with gently running cold water as a consumer would 

do; no chemicals, soap, or any special wash was 

used. Results for more than 2 million analyses 

were reported by the laboratories in 2018 and are 

too numerous to be included in their entirety in this 

summary. The PDP database file for 2018, along 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

ix
with annual summaries and database files for 

previous years, are available on the PDP website 

at http://www.ams.usda.gov/pdp or by contacting 

MPD. 

In 2018, over 99 percent of the samples tested had 

residues well below the tolerances established by 

the EPA with 47.8 percent having no detectable 

pesticide residue. Appendixes B through F provide 

a distribution of residues by pesticide for the 

commodities tested. In 2018, residues exceeding 

the tolerance were detected in 0.78 percent (82 

samples) of the total samples tested (10,545 

samples). Of these 82 samples, 43 were domestic 

(52.4 percent) and 39 were imported (47.6 percent). 

Residues with no established tolerance were found 

in 6.1 percent (642 samples) of the total samples 

tested (10,545 samples). Of these 642 samples, 374 

were domestic (58.3 percent), 266 were imported 

(41.4 percent), and 2 were of unknown origin (0.3 

percent). 

PDP is a voluntary program and is not designed for 

enforcement of tolerances. However, PDP informs 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and EPA if 

detected residues exceed the EPA tolerance or have 

no EPA tolerance established. 

PDP laboratories also test foods for low levels of 

environmental contaminants that are no longer used 

in the United States, but due to their persistence in 

the environment, particularly in soil, can be taken up 

by plants. Results for environmental contaminants 

in all commodities are listed in Appendix F. More 

information on results is provided in the Sample 

Results and Discussion section of this summary. 

PDP continually strives to improve methods for 

collecting, 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 the 

public by hard copy, internet, or custom reports 

generated by MPD. Additional copies of the PDP 

Annual Summary may be obtained by mailing the

Pesticide Data Program (PDP)

Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

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 U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) initiated the 

Pesticide Data Program (PDP) in 1991 to collect 

data on pesticide residues in food, and the program 

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). 

EPA establishes the tolerances after developing 

a risk assessment that considers the following: 

the pesticide exposure through diet and drinking 

water and from uses in and around the home; the 

cumulative exposure to two or more pesticides 

that cause a common toxic effect; the possibility 

of increased susceptibility to infants and children 

or other sensitive populations from exposure to 

the pesticide; and the possibility that the pesticide 

produces an effect in people similar to an effect 

produced by a naturally occurring estrogen or 

produces other endocrine disruptions. PDP data also 

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

(FDA) to assist in planning commodity surveys for 

pesticide residues for its enforcement and regulatory 

programs. 

Because PDP collects data on food commodities 

primarily for consumer exposure assessment, 

program operations differ markedly from those 

followed by regulatory monitoring programs for 

tolerance enforcement. Commodities chosen for 

inclusion in the program are based on EPA data 

needs. PDP samples are collected closer to the 

point of consumption and are prepared emulating 

consumer practices. PDP sampling does not impede 

commodity distribution. Laboratory operations 

are designed to achieve the lowest detectable 

levels rather than quick sample turnaround. As 

a dietary risk assessment support program, PDP 

tests for registered uses for the commodities in the 

program, as well as for pesticides that may not have 

U.S. tolerances but are used in other countries on 

commodities exported to the United States. 

Figure 1(a) illustrates contributors to PDP 

policy development and planning operations. 

Primary contributors to these activities include 

the participating States, EPA, FDA, USDA’s 

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), 

and additional stakeholders including industry and 

grower groups. Figure 1(b) depicts PDP primary 

data users including EPA, FDA, USDA’s Economic 

Research Service and Foreign Agricultural Service, 

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 industries have used PDP data to promote the 

export of U.S. commodities to international markets. 

Additionally, the Codex Alimentarius Committee on 

Pesticide Residues recognizes PDP methodologies as 

official and validated methods for the determination 

of pesticide residues in foods. 

In 2018, sampling services were provided by 10 

States (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

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

and Washington). Laboratory services were provided 

by the States of California, Florida, Michigan, New 

York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington, along with the 

AMS National Science Laboratories (NSL). The 

AMS Monitoring Programs Division (MPD) is 

responsible for overall management of PDP. 

Figure 2 shows the States that participate in 

program sampling and/or testing. Together, these 

States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s 

population and all four census regions of the United 

States. They also represent major U.S. producers 

of fruit and vegetables. MPD works closely with 

EPA and FDA to select commodities and pesticides 

for testing. The selected commodities represent the 

highest U.S. consumption, with an emphasis on

Figure 2. Program Participants. During 2018, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service established cooperative agreements 

with 10 States to sample and/or test Pesticide Data Program commodities. Together, these States represent about 50 percent 

of the Nation’s population and all four census regions of the United States. These States are the major U.S. producers of fruit 

and vegetables. State laboratories were responsible for analyzing fresh and processed fruit and vegetable samples. The USDA 

National Science Laboratory analyzed the heavy cream samples. 

foods consumed by infants and children. Commodities 

are cycled through the program approximately every 

5 years. High-consumption fresh fruit and vegetable 

commodities remain in the program for 2 years to 

capture two full growing seasons, thereby capturing any 

changes due to seasonality or year-to-year variations. 

Processed products, as well as dairy, fish, and grains, 

are tested for 1 full year. Appendix A provides a list of 

commodities tested by PDP from the beginning of the 

program in 1991 through 2019.1 

Fruit and vegetable samples are collected at terminal 

markets2

 and large chain store distribution centers 

from which food commodities are supplied to 

supermarkets and grocery stores. Sampling at 

these locations allows for residue measurements 

that include pesticides applied during crop 

production and those applied after harvest (such 

as fungicides, growth regulators, and sprouting 

inhibitors) and considers residue degradation while 

food commodities are in storage. Participation as a

Inspection Service (FSIS) monitors pesticide residues for meat, poultry, and egg products. 

2 Terminal markets are facilities where wholesalers receive large quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables by rail, truck, and air 

from around the world for sale to grocers, restaurants, institutions, and other businesses. Terminal markets are often located 

in metropolitan areas at or near major transportation hubs.

PDP sampling site is voluntary, which sets it apart 

from State and Federal enforcement programs. In 

2018, over 560 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. 

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with current 

registered uses for the commodity being tested 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 EPAhas modified use directions 

(i.e., reduced application rates or frequency) as part 

of risk management activities. In addition, PDP 

tests for selected pesticides that may not have U.S. 

tolerances but are used in other countries that export 

commodities to the United States. The following 

appendixes list the specific pesticides tested in the 

program: fruit and vegetables (Appendix B), rice 

(Appendix C), wheat flour (Appendix D), and heavy 

cream (Appendix E). Environmental contaminants, 

or pesticides whose uses have been canceled in 

the United States, but their residues persist in the 

environment, are consolidated into Appendix F, 

which summarizes findings for these chemicals 

across all commodities. 

II. Sampling Operations 

♦ Conceptual Framework

The goal of the PDP sampling program is to obtain 

a statistically valid 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. 

Ten States currently participate in PDP – California, 

Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, New York, 

North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Washington. The 

initial participating States in 1991 (California, Florida, 

Michigan, New York, Texas, and Washington) were 

selected based on agricultural production, analytical 

capabilities, population, and regional/geographic 

distribution – all four U.S. Census Regions (West, 

South, Midwest, and Northeast) were represented. 

Later in 1993, Colorado joined to represent the 

Mountain Division of the Western Region and Ohio 

to further represent the densely populated East North 

Central Division of the Midwest Region. In 1993, 

North Carolina was included to better represent the 

South Atlantic Division of the Southern Region. 

Maryland was added in 1997 to represent the South 

Atlantic Division of the Southern Region. Today, 

these States together represent about 50 percent of 

the Nation’s population and all four census regions 

of the United States. 

Commodities chosen for inclusion in the program 

are based on EPA data needs. Foods selected for 

testing are high-consumption items with a strong 

focus on foods that are highly consumed by infants 

and children. Each fresh commodity is sampled and 

tested for 2 years in order to capture annual and 

seasonal variability. High-consumption items are 

rotated in and out of the program every 5 years – for 

example, apples, lettuce, and oranges are retested 

and the data refreshed every 5 years. 

PDP collects a minimum of 600 samples per 

commodity per year in order to provide an accurate 

statistical representation for a given commodity. 

PDP collects additional samples to allow 

apportionment among the participating States over 

a 12-month period and to allow for a small sample 

overage for any missed, damaged, or unusable 

samples. Participating State population figures are 

used to apportion the number of samples scheduled 

for collection each month. PDP sampling operations 

may be adjusted according to product availability. 

For example, cherries, nectarines, and peaches 

may be oversampled during the summer months to 

make up for low availability during winter months. 

In some cases, frozen product is allowed as an 

alternative to fresh (e.g., cranberries). 

PDP samples are collected at terminal markets and 

warehouse distribution centers, close to the point of 

consumption. Participating State agencies compile 

and maintain lists of these sampling sites. In 2018, 

over 560 sites granted access to sample collectors. 

The States provide AMS and NASS with annual 

volume information for commodities distributed 

at these sites. Based on this information, sites are 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

4
assigned volume indicators compared to other sites 

in the same State. This volume indicator is used to 

ensure larger sites are selected more frequently than 

smaller sites. This information is used to weight 

the site to determine the probability for sample 

selection. For example, a weight of 10 may be 

given to a site that distributes 100,000 pounds of 

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

that distributes 10,000 pounds. This site selection 

method, termed probability-proportionate-to-size 

(PPS), then results in the larger site being 10 times 

more likely to be selected for sampling than the 

smaller site. 

Each participating State works 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. 

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. 

♦ Sampling Procedures

While obtaining PDP samples, collectors randomly 

select the scheduled commodities. Collectors 

use established procedures to prevent crosscontamination and maintain chain-of-custody. 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-of-custody. SOPs 

are updated as needed and serve as a technical 

reference in conducting program sampling reviews 

to ensure program goals and objectives are met. PDP 

sampling SOPs are available on the website: www. 

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

collectors are provided with Commodity Fact Sheets 

that list specific collection details for the individual 

commodities in the program. 

Temperature-sensitive samples are packed in heavyduty, temperature-controlled containers. Holding 

temperatures are preserved throughout transit time 

with the inclusion of ample frozen cold packs and 

insulating materials. Non-temperature-sensitive 

samples do not require temperature-controlled 

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

well-cushioned containers. To preserve sample 

integrity, most samples are shipped the same day 

by overnight delivery. Non-refrigerated processed 

commodities such as canned olives are often shipped 

by ground transportation to reduce shipping costs. 

Electronic Sample Information Forms (e-SIFs) 

are used for chain-of-custody and to capture 

information needed to characterize the sample. 

Sample collectors use tablets 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; expiration date; and grower, packer, 

and/or distributor locations. The e-SIFs are sent 

electronically 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. 

Because most PDP samples are collected at 

distribution centers, terminal markets, and other 

wholesalers, entire cases must be obtained while a 

significantly smaller portion is sent to the laboratory 

for testing. For example, if a 20-pound case of apples 

is collected and a 5-pound sample is sent for testing, 

the remaining 15 pounds are donated. In most cases, 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

5
the excess samples are donated to organizations 

such as local food banks, shelters, senior assisted 

living centers, churches, and other charities. PDP 

often provides the only fresh commodity donations 

available to these organizations. As a specific 

example, the State of Michigan donated over 14,000 

pounds of produce to the Greater Lansing Food Bank 

during 2018. 

♦ 2018 Sampling Operations

The number of fruit, vegetable, rice, wheat flour, and 

heavy cream samples collected in each participating 

State is determined by State population. The monthly 

collection schedule for all 2018 commodities is shown 

in Table 1. 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. 

Table 3 lists the acceptable product types for each 

collected commodity as seen on Commodity Fact 

Sheets provided to sample collectors. For all 

commodities, domestic or imported and organically 

grown or conventionally grown products are 

acceptable. In 2018, 6.7 percent of the tested 

samples were organic (710 of 10,545); summaries 

of findings by claim may be found by using the PDP

web app: https://apps.ams.usda.gov/pdp. 

State population figures are used to assign the number 

of fruit, vegetable, and other specialty samples 

scheduled for collection each month. During 2018, 

the monthly number of samples assigned for each 

State included: California, 13; Colorado, 2; Florida, 

7; Maryland, 4; Michigan, 6; New York, 9; Ohio, 

6; Texas, 8; and Washington, 4. This schedule 

resulted in a monthly target of 59 samples per 

commodity or 708 samples per commodity per year.

Table 3. Acceptable Products for Collected Commodities. This table lists the acceptable products for 

each collected commodity as seen on the Commodity Fact Sheets provided to sample collectors. For all 

commodities, domestic or imported and organically grown or conventionally grown products are acceptable. 

Additionally, North Carolina collected 4 samples 

per month for selected commodities – canned 

and frozen cranberries, canned garbanzo beans, 

heavy cream, canned olives, canned peaches, 

dried plums (prunes), raisins, rice, frozen spinach, 

frozen strawberries, frozen sweet peas, and wheat 

flour, which resulted in a total of 63 samples per 

commodity per month for these products. 

In 2018, fruit, vegetable, rice, wheat flour, and heavy 

cream samples were randomly collected by trained 

State inspectors at terminal markets and large chain 

store distribution centers throughout the country. 

Surrogate or “proxy” sites (retail markets) are used to 

collect these samples when the commodity of interest 

is unavailable at a terminal market or distribution 

center. In these instances, the commodity is selected

in the rear storage area of the retail facility so possible 

contamination by the consumer is eliminated and to 

allow capture of sample information from product 

boxes. In 2018, 46.7 percent of fruit, vegetable, rice, 

wheat flour, and heavy cream samples were collected 

at proxy sites. This percentage is higher than average 

in 2018 due to the relatively large number of processed 

commodities included this year. The commodities 

most often collected at these facilities were canned 

and frozen cranberries, canned garbanzo beans, 

heavy cream, canned olives, canned peaches, dried 

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

strawberries, frozen sweet peas, and wheat flour.

The total number of samples per commodity and 

the percentage of each that were either domestic, 

imported, or of unknown origin are shown in Figure 

3. The origin of some fresh commodities can vary 

greatly throughout the year. A graphic example 

of this variation can be found in Figure 4, where 

differences in origin (domestic versus import) are 

depicted by month for snap pea and asparagus 

samples. Fresh and processed fruit, vegetable, rice, 

wheat flour, and heavy cream samples originated 

from 41 States, 1 U.S. territory, and 32 foreign 

countries (refer to Appendix G).

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2018, 87.8 

percent (9,257 of 10,545) were fruit and vegetables, 

including fresh and processed products. The fresh 

commodities collected for PDP were asparagus, 

cabbage, cilantro, green onions, kale, kiwi fruit, 

mangoes, snap peas, and sweet potatoes. The 

processed commodities included canned and frozen 

cranberries, canned garbanzo beans, canned olives, 

canned peaches, dried plums (prunes), raisins, 

frozen spinach, frozen strawberries, and frozen 

sweet peas. Fresh and frozen fruit and vegetable 

samples weighed either 3 or 5 pounds, except for 

cilantro, cranberries, and snap peas where the sample 

sizes were 1 pound. Three pounds were collected for 

smaller, low-weight commodities such as asparagus 

and kale, and 5 pounds were collected for larger, 

high-weight commodities such as cabbage and sweet 

potatoes. 

♦ Rice 

PDP collected and analyzed 189 rice samples in 2018. 

Three-pound samples were collected from routine 

PDP sampling sites that included major chain-store 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

11
 

distribution centers, terminal markets, and proxy 

retail sites. About 69 percent of the samples were 

collected from proxy sites. Regular milled white rice, 

brown rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, and polished 

rice were collected. Red rice, black rice, wild rice, 

rice blends, pre-cooked rice, instant rice, orzo, parboiled rice, flavor-added rice, and rice crackers were 

excluded. Distribution of residues in rice may be 

found in Appendix C. Pesticide residue analysis was 

performed by the California Department of Food and 

Agriculture laboratory located in Sacramento, CA. 

♦ Wheat Flour

PDP collected and analyzed 758 wheat flour samples 

in 2018. Five-pound samples were collected from 

routine PDP sampling sites that included major chainstores distribution centers, terminal markets, and 

proxy retail sites. About 74 percent of the samples 

were collected from proxy sites. All-purpose, 

enriched, white wheat flour was collected. Whole 

wheat flour, whole grain flour, flours other than 

wheat (such as rice or spelt), and any type other than 

all-purpose (such as self-rising or bread flour) were 

excluded. Distribution of residues in wheat flour may 

be found in Appendix D. Pesticide residue analysis 

was performed by the California Department of Food 

and Agriculture laboratory located in Sacramento, 

CA. 

♦ Heavy Cream

PDP collected and analyzed 341 heavy cream 

samples in 2018. Samples, comprised of half pint (8 

ounce) containers of at least 36 percent fat content, 

were collected from routine PDP sampling sites 

that included major chain-store distribution centers, 

terminal markets, and proxy retail sites. All heavy 

cream samples were domestic. About 78 percent 

of the samples were collected from proxy sites. 

Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream samples 

were collected. Whipped cream (aerosolized), light 

whipping cream, half and half cream, powdered 

cream, flavored or sweetened cream, evaporated 

milk, buttermilk, sour cream, coffee cream or other 

similar products were excluded. Distribution of 

residues in heavy cream may be found in Appendix 

E. Pesticide residue analysis was performed by the 

USDA’s NSL located in Gastonia, NC. 

♦ Sampling Limitations

Ten States from all four census regions of the United 

States participate in PDP. The States that participate 

account for about 50 percent of the U.S. population 

and the major agricultural production areas of the 

country, making them representative of the United 

States as a whole. 

PDP collects samples from over 560 distribution 

centers and terminal markets within the participating 

States. The total number of distribution centers and 

terminal markets within the participating States is 

difficult to establish since existing sites may go out 

of business or merge and new sites may open during 

the course of the year. However, sites within the 

States that participate do not differ significantly from 

those that do not participate. Since these sites are 

similar throughout the State, they are representative 

of all sites in the State. 

Sometimes it is necessary to replace the site that 

was originally selected using PPS. In those cases, 

an alternate site is selected by the State personnel 

to replace the original site. Whenever possible, a 

site of similar size in the same region as the original 

site is chosen as the replacement. Additionally, the 

availability of a specific commodity may necessitate 

a change in site selection. For example, lettuce may 

be collected from an alternate site if the primary site 

is out of stock. 

III. Laboratory Operations 

♦ Overview

Seven State laboratories and one USDA laboratory 

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. Laboratory scientists continually test new 

technologies and develop new techniques to 

improve the levels of detection. Any major change 

in methodology and/or instrumentation is evaluated 

and its soundness demonstrated and documented by 

means of method validation modules in accordance 

with PDP SOPs. 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

12
 

 

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities

A total of 9,257 fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetable samples were tested for 518 parent 

pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers, 

plus 21 environmental contaminants using MultiResidue Methods (MRMs). Pesticides screened by 

PDP include those with current registered uses for the 

commodity being tested and compounds for which 

toxicity data and preliminary estimates of dietary 

exposure indicate the need for more extensive residue 

data. 

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). Laboratories are 

permitted to refrigerate incoming fresh fruit and 

vegetable samples of the same commodity up to 72 

hours to allow for different sample arrival times from 

collection sites. Frozen and canned commodities may 

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

sample set is ready for analysis. 

Each sample is prepared according to the procedures 

detailed in Table 4, which lists the steps for preparing 

each commodity for analysis as defined in the 

Laboratory Sample Processing and Analysis SOP. 

For all commodities, the sample is chopped, mixed, 

or blended until a visually homogeneous mixture is 

attained. 

Samples are separated into analytical portions 

(aliquots) for analysis. If testing cannot be performed 

immediately, the entire analytical set is frozen at -40°C 

or lower, according to PDP’s Quality Assurance/ 

Quality Control (QA/QC) requirements. Surplus 

aliquots not used for the initial testing are retained 

frozen in the event that replication of analysis or 

verification testing is required.

For analysis of fruit and vegetable samples, testing 

laboratories use various Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, 

Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS)-based approaches.3 

All MRMs are determined, prior to use and through 

appropriate method validation procedures, to produce 

equivalent data for PDP analytical purposes. 

PDP laboratories 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. 

♦ Rice 

The California Department of Food and 

Agriculture laboratory tested 189 samples of 

rice. A total of 444 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates and/or isomers, plus 19 environmental 

contaminants were screened in rice samples. 

Samples were prepared according to the 

procedures detailed in Table 4. Samples were 

extracted using modifications of the QuEChERS 

method, and analyses were performed using GCMS/MS, and LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Wheat Flour

The California Department of Food and 

Agriculture laboratory tested 758 samples of 

wheat flour. A total of 422 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates and/or isomers, plus 18 

environmental contaminants were screened in 

wheat flour samples. Upon arrival at the testing 

facility, wheat flour samples were visually 

examined for acceptability and discarded if 

determined to be damaged. Samples were held 

at room temperature until the entire sample set 

was ready for analysis. Samples were prepared 

according to the procedures detailed in Table 

4. Samples were extracted using modifications 

of the QuEChERS method, and analyses were 

performed using GC-MS/MS, and LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Heavy Cream 

USDA’s NSL tested 341 samples of heavy cream. 

A total of 154 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates and/or isomers, plus 8 environmental 

contaminants were screened in heavy cream 

samples. Samples were prepared according to

the procedures detailed in Table 4. Samples were 

extracted using a modification of the QuEChERS 

method and analyses were performed using GCMS-NCI (Negative Chemical Ionization), GC-MS/ 

MS and LC-MS/MS. 

♦ Quality Assurance Program

The primary objectives of the QA/QC program 

are to ensure the reliability of PDP data and the 

performance equivalency of the participating 

laboratories. Direction for the PDP QA program 

is provided through SOPs based on EPA Good 

Laboratory Practices, along with program-specific 

QA/QC requirements. The PDP SOPs provide 

uniform administrative and sampling procedures, 

as well as guidelines for laboratory operations 

and data analyses. The SOPs are revised annually 

to accommodate changes in the program and 

are aligned with International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO)4 requirements. PDP laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025 by the American 

Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), 

an internationally recognized accrediting body. 

A Technical Advisory Group, comprised of 

laboratory Technical Program Managers and 

Quality Assurance Officers, 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. MPD 

staff conduct a final review of 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/confirmation is performed using 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 used 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, rice, wheat flour, and heavy cream, 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 

the 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

Greek word “isos” meaning equal.

Commodity Sample Preparation Steps 

Asparagus Remove an inch or two of the woody stem, if inedible. Wash and drain. 

Cabbage Visually examine the head, and remove wrapper, damaged, or wilted leaves, and the core. 

Rinse, turn the head top side down to drain. 

Canned Products: Cranberries, Garbanzo Beans, 

Olives, Peaches 

If the lid of the can has visible dirt or dust, rinse the lid under cold running tap water for 5 to 10 

seconds. Dry the lid with a paper towel. Open each can and pour the entire contents of each 

can including the liquid into a blender/homogenizer. 

Cilantro Trim the ends. Remove the discolored or damaged leaves. Wash and drain. 

Dried Products: Plums 

(Prunes), Raisins 

Open all of the dried fruit package(s) into a container and mix or shake to obtain a representative 

analtyical portion. Add enough water to cover the analytical portion and soak with water until rehydrated. Prepare for extraction. 

Frozen Products: Cranberries, Spinach, Strawberries, Sweet Peas The samples may be chopped while frozen, or to prevent damage to the chopper/homogenizer 

blades, the sample may be thawed in a refrigerator or in a room temperature water bath. Open 

the containers and pour the entire contents into the chopper/homogenizer. 

Green Onions Wash and drain. Using a clean, dry knife, trim the bulb end of any roots/inedible material and 

trim the tops if damaged or wilted. 

Heavy Cream If the sample is comprised of a single container, simply weigh appropriate analytical portion. If 

the sample is comprised of multiple containers, combine and mix enough containers to achieve 

the specified sampling size (1/2 pint) and weigh appropriate analytical portion.

Kale Visually examine the sample and remove only the damaged or wilted leaves and any woody 

stems. Wash and drain. Note: Bagged pre-washed kale do not require washing.

Kiwi Fruit Wash and drain. Do not peel. 

Mangoes People with sensitive skin should handle mangoes with gloves. Wash and drain. Do not remove 

peel. Remove stem if present. Cut the mango around the pit to remove it, being careful to remove as little of the meat as possible. 

Rice Grind the entire sample using an appropriate device to obtain a homogeneous mixture. If 

a significantly large sample is received, a subsample can be homogenized at the target weight.

Snap Peas Wash and drain. Remove inedible portion(s). Note: Bagged pre-washed, ready-to-eat, and 

steam in a bag snap peas do not require washing. 

Sweet Potatoes Hold each sweet potato under cold running tap water and gently scrub the entire surface with a 

clean vegetable brush to remove any loose soil and grit (remove any woody stems if present). 

Wash and drain. 

Wheat Flour If the sample is comprised of a single container, simply weigh appropriate analytical portion. If 

the sample is comprised of multiple containers, combine and mix enough containers to achieve 

the commodity’s specified sampling size (5 pounds) and weigh appropriate analytical portion.

Table 4. Sample Preparation Steps for Analysis. This table lists the steps for preparing each collected commodity 

for analysis as defined in the Laboratory Standard Operating Procedure. The wash and drain steps refer to a wash 

under cold running water for approximately 15-20 seconds to assure that all surfaces are rinsed, then a drain for 

at least 2 minutes. For all commodities, the sample is chopped, mixed, or blended until a visually homogeneous 

mixture is attained. 

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-toset 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 2018, 

PDP laboratories quantitated a total of 82,842 

matrix spikes, with an overall mean recovery of 

95.3 percent and an overall 24 percent coefficient 

of variation (% C.V.). The % C.V. is calculated as 

the standard deviation divided by the mean. 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018

• 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 sampleby-sample basis. Each of the analytical set 

components, except the reagent and matrix blanks, 

is spiked with process controls. During 2018, PDP 

laboratories quantitated a total of 23,321 process 

controls on 10,545 samples, with an overall 

mean recovery of 97.2 percent and an overall 18 

percent C.V. Of these process controls, 2 (<0.01 

percent) 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 

the international Food Analysis Performance 

Assessment Scheme (FAPAS), administered by 

the Food and Environment Research Agency, 

Sand Hutton, York, United Kingdom. In 2018, 

PDP laboratories that routinely analyze fruit and 

vegetable samples via MRMs participated in one 

FAPAS round for potato purée that contained 10 

fortified analytes. Laboratories were evaluated 

based on z-scores for reported compounds, as well 

as any reported false negatives or false positives. 

PDP laboratories typically obtained z-scores 

less than two, which is deemed satisfactory 

performance. 

In addition, PDP laboratories participate in an 

internal PT program that is tailored to current 

PDP commodities and testing profiles. For this 

internal program, the California Department of 

Food and Agriculture QAU prepares and issues 

rounds designed by MPD. 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 2018, PDP laboratories received two 

multi-residue fruit and vegetable PT rounds 

(mangoes and frozen peas), each consisting of 

three test samples. The mango samples were 

fortified with a total of 12 different compounds 

with trifluralin spiked on 2 different samples. The 

frozen pea samples were fortified with a total of 

13 different compounds with metalaxyl spiked on 

2 different samples at the same level to evaluate 

within and between laboratory variability. 

Onsite Reviews: In addition to the onsite 

assessments performed by A2LA that are required 

to maintain ISO 17025 accreditation, MPD staff

chemists perform onsite reviews of laboratory 

operations to determine compliance with PDP 

SOPs and provide a report of findings identifying 

potential areas of improvement. 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 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 calendaryear survey is stored in a separate database 

structure, which allows easier administration 

and data reporting. The PDP data pathway is 

illustrated in Figure 5. 

♦ 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 distributed 

with all user interface software and database 

files residing on laboratory computers. The 

laboratory users need only Microsoft® Office 

tools 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 file encryption to secure 

all data stored in and transmitted from the RDE 

system. 

A separate Windows®-based system allows 

sample collectors to capture the standardized 

Sample Information Form (SIF) electronically 

on laptop or tablet computers. The e-SIF system 

generates formatted text files containing sample 

information that are e-mailed to MPD staff for 

central processing and distribution to the analyzing 

laboratories for import into the 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 checks on numeric 

fields, dates, and other character fields to ensure 

entries are within established boundaries. 

MPD staff chemists review the data online and then 

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

PDP database. A separate upload application 

converts and passes the data to the PDP database, 

which is maintained using Microsoft® Access and 

SQL Server database tools. Access to the central 

PDP database is limited to MPD personnel and is 

controlled through password protection and user 

access rights. 

♦ Data Reporting 

The MPD staff frequently receives requests for 

data from government agencies and interested 

outside parties. Ad-hoc queries and custom reports 

are generated to fill such requests. An electronic 

library of data queries is maintained to generate 

standardized data summaries, including the data 

tables, charts, and appendixes in this annual 

summary. Subsets of the PDP calendar-year 

databases are made available for download from 

the PDP website. The data files on the website 

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. 

♦ Online Database Search Tool 

An online PDP Database search tool is available 

for public use. The search tool allows anyone with 

internet access to search for PDP pesticide residue 

findings on commodities tested across all published 

years. Search criteria are selected from lists of 

all reported commodities, pesticides, and survey 

years. One of five output preferences is selected 

to show individual residue findings or summary 

data. The generated dataset can be exported to a 

comma-separated values (CSV) file. The search 

tool can be reached from any PDP website page or 

directly at https://apps.ams.usda.gov/pdp. 

V. Sample Results and Discussion 

♦ Overview

In 2018, PDP conducted surveys on a variety of 

foods including fresh and processed fruit and 

vegetables, rice, wheat flour and heavy cream. Of 

the 10,545 samples analyzed, 9,257 were fresh and 

processed fruit and vegetable samples, 189 were 

rice, 758 were wheat flour samples, and 341 were 

heavy cream, respectively. PDP testing methods 

are designed to detect the lowest possible levels of 

pesticide residues. In 2018, over 99 percent of the 

samples tested had residues below the tolerances 

established by the EPA with 47.8 percent having 

no detectable pesticide residue. The data reported 

by PDP illustrate that residues found in agricultural 

products sampled are at levels that do not pose risk 

to consumers’ health and are safe according to EPA 

and FDA. 

Appendix B tabulates the distribution of residue 

results for fruit and vegetables. Information 

included in this appendix are: number of samples 

analyzed for each compound, number and percent 

of samples with detections, range of concentrations 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

18
detected, range of analytical LODs, and EPA 

tolerance levels. Appendixes C, D and E provides 

the distribution of residues for rice, wheat flour, 

and heavy cream, respectively. 

PDP laboratories tested foods for low levels of 

environmental contaminants that are no longer 

used in the United States, but due to their 

persistence in the environment, particularly 

in soil, these contaminants can be taken up 

by plants. Appendix F tabulates the results 

for environmental contaminants across all 

commodities. Environmental contaminants are 

consolidated into a single appendix because they 

have no registered uses and are not applied to 

crops in the United States. These compounds are 

subject to FDA Action Levels (ALs), rather than 

tolerances. Because environmental contaminants 

continue to persist in the environment, they may 

be present in food commodities at generally low 

levels. 

Most of the collected and analyzed samples (66.2 

percent) were produced in the United States, 32.1 

percent were imports, 1.3 percent were of mixed 

national origin, and 0.4 percent were of unknown 

origin. Appendix G shows the distribution of 

sample origin by State or country. Of all samples 

collected and analyzed, approximately 25.6 

percent (2,700 of 10,545) were grown, packed, 

and/or distributed in or from California. Appendix 

H includes a comparison of residues for a select 

commodity with a significant domestic and import 

components. 

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. All 

individual sample data can be downloaded from 

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

or obtained by contacting MPD. 

♦ Import Versus 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 2018. The data generated by 

PDP reflect pesticide residues in foods, both 

domestic and imported products, available to 

the U.S. consumer. Many fresh and processed 

commodities are almost entirely of domestic 

origin, such as kale (92.5 percent); sweet potatoes 

(100 percent); canned cranberries (99.5 percent); 

and canned peaches (93.8 percent) with only 

minor import (7.2 percent, 0 percent, 0 percent, 

and 6.2 percent, respectively) and unknown 

origins (0.3 percent, 0 percent, 0.5 percent, and 0 

percent, respectively). Other fresh commodities, 

such as snap peas, are available from domestic 

growers part of the year and imported during the 

remaining months, as illustrated in Figure 4. 

Comparison of selected residues detected in 

imported versus domestic snap peas can be found 

in Appendix H. This sample set was selected to 

compare data where residues are present in greater 

than 5 percent of the commodity samples and 

allows for the comparison of individual residues. 

These data also show that the residue profiles for 

domestic and imported crops are significantly 

different. 

The data in Appendix H illustrate that some 

residues were detected more frequently in imported 

samples, some were detected more frequently in 

domestic samples, and some were detected with 

relative equal frequency in domestic and imported 

samples. For example, the insecticide cyhalothrin 

(lambda) was detected in 37.1 percent of the snap 

pea samples from Guatemala, 4.0 percent from 

Mexico, and 8.2 percent of the U.S. samples. In 

contrast, the insecticide chlorantraniliprole was 

detected in 25.3 percent of the snap pea samples 

from the United States and 18.4 percent of the 

samples from Mexico. No chlorantraniliprole was 

detected in Guatemalan samples. The insecticide 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

19
cypermethrin was detected in 12.0 percent of 

the snap pea samples from the United States, 

15.2 percent of the samples from Mexico, and 

9.2 percent of the Guatemalan samples showing 

nearly equal detection rates between domestic and 

imported samples. 

All pesticides detected were registered in the United 

States; however, the profiles of residue findings 

were markedly different in the U.S. samples versus 

imported samples. The differences in residue 

detections between countries were likely due to the 

pesticides used in response to pest pressures based 

on differing environmental and climatic conditions 

as well as crop production and protection practices. 

♦ Postharvest Applications

Pesticides can be applied before and after harvest 

depending on the crop and approved label use. 

PDP data capture both preharvest and postharvest 

uses because samples are collected at points when 

all pesticide applications have already occurred. 

Pesticides applied postharvest are used primarily 

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

o-phenylphenol, and thiabendazole) and growth 

regulators/sprouting inhibitors (e.g., chlorpropham). 

Some detections reported in Appendix B most 

likely reflect postharvest applications to the raw 

agricultural commodity. 

♦ Discussion of Results

There are many pesticides registered for use on the 

same crop; however, not all registered pesticides 

are used at the same time or location. In 2018, 47.8 

percent of the samples tested had no detectable 

pesticide residue, and over 99 percent of the 

samples tested had residues below the tolerances 

established by the EPA. Pesticide use is primarily 

dictated by local pest pressures and environmental 

conditions conducive to growth of pest populations, 

as well as the planting of susceptible varieties. 

These differences are captured by PDP data, which 

reflect actual residues present in food grown in 

various regions of the United States and foreign 

countries. 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 presence of residues 

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 I. The data shown include the range 

and mean of values detected and EPA tolerance 

references for each commodity/pesticide pair. 

By virtue of the MRMs employed, PDP provides 

critical 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 2018 is 

presented in Appendix J. These data indicate 

that 47.8 percent of all samples tested contained 

no detectable pesticides, 21.0 percent contained 

1 pesticide, and 31.2 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 

F, have been excluded from this count of 

pesticides. 

One sample of raisins contained residues of 26 

pesticides. None of the residues found on the 

raisin sample exceeded the established tolerances. 

Multiple residue detections can result from the 

application of more than one pesticide on a crop 

during a growing season; in addition, several other 

factors can contribute to multiple detections. For 

example, unintentional spray drift in the field, 

planting of crops in fields previously treated 

with the pesticide, and/or transfer of residues 

of postharvest fungicides or growth regulators 

applied to other commodities stored in the same 

storage facilities could all contribute to residue 

detections. 

In most cases, samples analyzed by PDP are 

composites of 3 to 5 pounds of commodity 

from the same lot. Therefore, the estimated 

concentrations for multiple residue detections 

in these composite sample results may or may

not reflect the number or levels of pesticides in a 

single-serving item of a commodity. 

♦ Special Projects

Rice: The California laboratory conducted testing 

for pesticide residues on 189 rice samples. Thirtyeight residues (including metabolites and isomers) 

representing 37 pesticides were detected in rice 

(Appendix C). The most frequently detected 

residue was propiconazole, which was detected in 

82 samples (43.4 percent). Piperonyl butoxide was 

detected in 47 samples (24.9 percent), azoxystrobin 

in 32 samples (16.9 percent), MGK-264 in 30 

samples (15.9 percent), and deltamethrin in 22 

samples (11.6 percent). One residue detection for 

thiamethoxam exceeded the established tolerance, 

while all other residue detections were lower than 

the established tolerances, where tolerances were 

established. 

Wheat Flour: The California laboratory conducted 

testing for pesticide residues on 758 wheat flour 

samples. Twenty-one residues representing 18 

pesticides were detected in wheat flour (Appendix 

D). The most frequently detected residue was 

deltamethrin, which was detected in 400 samples 

(52.8 percent). Piperonyl butoxide was detected 

in 231 samples (30.5 percent), malathion in 186 

samples (24.5 percent), and chlorpyrifos methyl in 

166 samples (21.9 percent). All residue detections 

were lower than the established tolerances, where 

tolerances were established. 

Heavy Cream: The NSL laboratory conducted 

testing on 341 heavy cream samples. Appendix 

E shows six residues representing six pesticides 

were detected in heavy cream. The most 

frequently detected residue was clopyralid, which 

was detected in 198 samples (58.1 percent). 

Cyhalothrin (lambda) was detected in 188 samples 

(55.1 percent), novaluron in 17 samples (5.0 

percent), fenpyroximate in 1 sample (0.3 percent), 

indoxacarb in 1 sample (0.3 percent), and propargite 

in 1 sample (0.3 percent). Nine residue detections 

for clopyralid exceeded the established tolerance, 

while all other residue detections were lower than 

the established tolerances, where tolerances were 

established. 

♦ Environmental Contaminants

Environmental contaminants include pesticides 

whose uses have been canceled in the United 

States, but their residues persist in the 

environment, particularly in soil, where they may 

be taken up by plants. These data are also used 

to facilitate international trade. Residue results 

for environmental contaminants may be found in 

Appendix F. 

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 in cilantro (46.3 percent), kale (39 

percent), frozen spinach (17 percent), snap peas 

(0.4 percent), sweet potatoes (0.6 percent), and 

raisins (0.1 percent). DDT p,p’ was detected in 

cilantro (11.3 percent), kale (6.4 percent), frozen 

spinach (2.0 percent), and wheat flour (0.1 percent). 

DDT o,p’ was detected in cilantro (14.7 percent) 

and kale (6.6 percent). DDD o,p’ was detected in 

cilantro (0.6 percent). DDD p,p’ was detected in 

cilantro (2.3 percent). No residues of DDE o,p’ 

were detected in any samples. All residues detected 

were lower than established FDA ALs. 

Other Extraneous Pesticides: PDP screened samples 

for other environmental contaminants including: 

aldrin, which readily metabolizes to dieldrin; BHC 

(alpha/beta/delta); chlordane (total, cis, trans) 

and its metabolite oxychlordane; dieldrin; endrin; 

heptachlor and its epoxide metabolite (total, cis); 

hexachlorobenzene (HCB); lindane (BHC gamma); 

and mirex. HCB was used as a seed protectant until 

1965 and, due to its persistence, remains in soil 

and grasses. In 1974, all aldrin and dieldrin uses 

were canceled in the United States and, in 1978, 

all heptachlor and mirex uses were canceled. In 

1986, chlordane uses, except termiticide uses, were 

canceled. Despite these cancellations and because 

they persist in the environment, trace residues of 

chlordane (cis and trans) and dieldrin were detected 

in some of the tested commodities. 

Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2018 

21
 

Dieldrin was detected in 11.5 percent of kale 

samples, 7.9 percent of cilantro samples, and 0.5 

percent of frozen spinach samples. Chlordane (cis) 

was detected in 1.7 percent of cilantro samples and 

1.4 percent of kale green samples, while chlordane 

(trans) was detected in 2.3 percent of cilantro 

samples and 0.6 percent of kale green samples. 

No residues of aldrin, BHC (alpha/beta/delta), 

endrin, heptachlor (parent), heptachlor epoxide 

(total, cis), HCB, lindane (BHC gamma), mirex, or 

oxychlordane were detected in any samples. 

♦ 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 amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide 

and Rodenticide Act to require EPA to periodically 

review each pesticide registration using the most 

currently available data. Timely pesticide data 

provided by PDP enable the EPA to 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 certain residue is found for which there is no 

established tolerance. Apart from meat, poultry, 

and egg products, for which USDA’s Food 

Safety and Inspection Service is responsible, 

FDA enforces tolerances for all imported foods 

and domestic foods that move through interstate 

commerce. Unlike enforcement programs, PDP 

emphasizes determination of residues at the 

lowest detectable levels rather than quick turnaround 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’s headquarters 

office. This notification is made in accordance with 

a Memorandum of Understanding between USDA 

and FDA for the purpose of identifying areas where 

closer surveillance may be needed. FDA assesses 

PDP apparent violation data for appropriateness for 

follow up under its regulatory pesticide program. 

Due to the time period required for completion 

of PDP analyses and data reporting, FDA follow 

up will usually be at a subsequent harvest or 

commodity availability period. 

Residues exceeding the established tolerance or 

ALs are noted with an “X” in Appendixes B, C, 

and E. Similarly, residues for which a tolerance is 

not established are noted with a “V” in Appendixes 

B, C, and D. 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 appendixes apply to 

2018 and not to the current year. There may be 

instances where tolerances may have been recently 

changed that would influence 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 K are combined residues of parent and 

any isomers and/or metabolites to count the total 

number of samples with tolerance violations. 

A total of 704 samples with 909 pesticides was 

reported to FDA as Presumptive Tolerance 

Violations. Pesticides exceeding the tolerance 

were detected in 0.78 percent (82 samples) of the 

total samples tested (10,545 samples). Of these 

82 samples, 43 were domestic (52.4 percent) and 

39 were imported (47.6 percent), representing 

0.6 percent and 1.2 percent of the total domestic 

and imported samples, respectively. The samples 

containing pesticides that exceeded established 

tolerances included: seven samples of asparagus, 

one sample of cabbage, eight samples of cilantro, 

nine samples of heavy cream, 19 samples of 

kale, one sample of kiwi fruit, three samples of 

mangoes, three samples of raisins, one sample of 

rice, four samples of frozen spinach, 23 samples of 

snap peas, one sample of sweet potatoes, and two 

samples of frozen strawberries. 

Residues with no established tolerance were found 

in 6.1 percent (642 samples) of the total samples

tested (10,545 samples). Of these 642 samples, 374 

were domestic (58.3 percent), 266 were imported 

(41.4 percent), and 2 samples were of unknown 

origin (0.3 percent). These samples included 444 

fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 151 processed 

fruit/vegetable samples, 30 rice samples, and 17 

wheat flour samples. The 151 processed fruit/

vegetable samples were canned cranberries, 

canned olives, dried plums/prunes, raisins, frozen 

spinach, and frozen strawberries. There were 508 

samples that contained 1 pesticide for which no 

tolerance was established; 106 samples with 2 

pesticides for which no tolerance was established; 

13 samples with 3 pesticides for which no 

tolerance was established; 13 samples with 4 

pesticides for which no tolerance was established; 

and 2 samples that contained 7 pesticides for 

which no tolerance was established. Twenty of the 

642 samples also contained 1 pesticide each that 

exceeded an established tolerance. The pesticide 

residue levels and commodities are listed in 

Appendix K. 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 field, 

planting of crops in fields previously treated with 

the pesticide; transfer of pesticide residues, postharvest fungicides, or other growth regulators 

applied to other commodities kept in the same 

storage facilities; or exposure to pesticides during 

transportation through the distribution chain. 

♦ Look Ahead

At the time this report was drafted, 2019 PDP 

sampling and testing was underway. Commodities 

included in the 2019 survey are: bananas, basil, 

cantaloupe, cilantro, dried garbanzo beans, hot 

peppers, mustard greens, oats, radishes, rice, 

spinach (canned/frozen), strawberries (frozen), 

sweet bell peppers, and sweet peas (canned/frozen). 

It is anticipated that the 2019 PDP data will be 

published in an annual summary approximately 1 

year after the date of this report.

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 appendixes apply to 2018 and not to the current year. There 

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

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

In 2018, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 9,257 fruit and vegetable samples, 

of which 4,949 were fresh products and 4,308 were processed products. 

PDP reports tolerance violations to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of an 

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

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Tolerance Violation” column 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 F).

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 2018 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. 

NOTES 

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

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

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

EX2 = Exempt from the requirement of a tolerance when applied to growing crops, in accordance with good agricultural practice. 

1 Emamectin benzoate is the salt form of the active, Emamectin. 

2 Halosulfuron methyl is the salt form of the active, Halosulfuron. 

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

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

4 Propamocarb analytically determined as the salt (hydrochloride). 

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

pages 1 through 3 in Appendix K to see the sample origin (domestic, imported, or unknown) for each occurrence. 

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

pages 4 through 7 in Appendix K to see the number of occurrences broken down by sample origin (domestic, imported, or 

unknown) for a commodity/pesticide pair. 

Appendix B. Page 109 of 109 
Appendix C 

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Rice 

Appendix C shows residue detections for all compounds tested in rice, 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 appendixes 

apply to 2018 and not to the current year. There may be instances where tolerances have been 

recently set, modified, or revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or 

not. 

In 2018, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 189 rice samples. PDP detected 38 

different residues (including metabolites), representing 37 pesticides, in the rice samples. 

PDP reports tolerance violations to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of an 

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

FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” 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 rice, have been 

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

to crops (see Appendix F).

to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances apply to 2018 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. 

NOTES 

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

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

EX = Exempt from the requirement of a tolerance when applied to growing crops, in accordance with good agricultural practice. 

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

 Refer to pages 4 through 7 in Appendix K to see the number of occurrences broken down by sample origin

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

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

 Refer to pages 1 through 3 in Appendix K to see the sample origin (domestic, imported, or unknown) for each occurrence. 

1 = Includes cyhalothrin lambda plus R157836 epimer. 

2 = Deltamethrin includes parent Tralomethrin. 

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

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

 via multiresidue methods. 

Pesticide Types: 

A = Acaricide 

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite 

H = Herbicide, HM = Herbicide Metabolite 

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite 

N = Nitrification Inhibitor 

P = Plant Growth Regulator 

R = Insect Growth Regulator 

S = Herbicide Safener 

T = Nematicide

Appendix D 

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Wheat Flour 

Appendix D shows residue detections for all compounds tested in wheat flour, 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 2018 and not to the current year. There may be 

instances where tolerances have been recently set, modified, or revoked that would have 

an effect on whether a residue is violative or not. 

In 2018, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 758 wheat flour samples. PDP

detected 21 different residues (including metabolites), representing 19 pesticides, in the 

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

for those compounds with established tolerances. 

PDP reports tolerance violations to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of an 

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

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” 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 wheat flour, 

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

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

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 2018 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. 

NOTES 

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

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

EX = Exempt from the requirement of a tolerance when applied to growing crops, in accordance with good agricultural practice. 

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

 Refer to pages 4 through 7 in Appendix K to see the number of occurrences broken down by sample origin

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

1 = Includes cyhalothrin lambda plus R157836 epimer. 

2 = Includes parent Tralomethrin. 

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

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

 via multiresidue methods.

Appendix E 

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide 

in Heavy Cream 

Appendix E shows residue detections for all compounds tested in heavy cream, 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 2018 and not to the current year. There may be 

instances where tolerances have been recently set, modified, or revoked that would have 

an effect on whether a residue is violative or not. 

In 2018, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 341 heavy cream samples. PDP 

detected six different residues (including metabolites), representing 6 pesticides, in the 

heavy cream samples. 

PDP reports tolerance violations to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of an 

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

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” 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 heavy cream, 

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

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

apply to 2018 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. 

NOTES 

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

* = Measured on a fat basis. 

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

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

 Refer to pages 1 through 3 in Appendix K to see the sample origin (domestic, imported, or unknown) for each occurrence.

Distribution of Residues 

for Environmental Contaminants 

Appendix F shows residue detections across all commodities for 21 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 2018 and not to the 

current year. There may be instances where tolerances have been recently set, modified, 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 AL values 

established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Under the Food Quality 

Protection Act, responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to 

EPA. In the interim, ALs are used.

Appendix G 

Sample Origin by State or Country 

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor) 

Appendix G gives the number of 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 G, samples originated from 41 States, 1 U.S. territory (Puerto Rico), and 

32 foreign countries. There were 233 domestic samples from unknown States. There were an 

additional 45 samples from unknown origins. Overall, 66.2 percent of samples were from U.S. 

sources, 32.1 percent were imports from single countries, 1.3 percent were of mixed national 

origin, and 0.4 percent were of unknown origin.

Import Versus Domestic Pesticide Residue Comparisons 

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

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

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

components that vary by commodity. However, several commodities tested over 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 H compares residue data reported for samples originating in the United States 

with those of the same commodity from major exporting countries in 2018. Residue 

data for domestic snap peas are compared with data for samples originating in both 

Guatemala and Mexico. This commodity was selected because it is a fresh product 

collected all 12 months of the year and it has more than 100 data points (samples) for 

each of the three countries compared. Only residues detected in more than 5 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 and climatic conditions as well as 

crop production and protection practices.

Appendix I shows 196 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 2018 and not to the current year. There may be instances where 

tolerances have been recently set, modified, or revoked that would have an effect on 

whether a residue is violative or not violative.

Appendix J 

Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample 

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

sample. The graph and data on page 1 of Appendix J 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 of Appendix J shows the number of pesticides detected by 

individual commodity. For the 10,545 samples analyzed, 47.8 percent of the samples had no 

detectable pesticides, 21.0 percent had 1 pesticide, and 31.2 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.

Multiple pesticide detections may result from the application of more than 

one pesticide, spray drift, crop rotation, and/or cross-contamination. 

NOTES 

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

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

Appendix K 

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 K 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 2018, a total of 704 samples with 909 

pesticides were reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations. 

Pesticides exceeding the tolerance were detected in 82 samples including 7 samples of 

asparagus, 1 sample of cabbage, 8 samples of cilantro, 9 samples of heavy cream, 19 samples 

of kale, 1 sample of kiwi fruit, 3 samples of mangoes, 3 samples of raisins, 1 sample of rice, 

4 samples of frozen spinach, 23 samples of snap peas, 1 sample of sweet potatoes, and 2 

samples of frozen strawberries. Of those 82 samples, 39 were reported as imported produce. 

One asparagus sample and one snap pea sample contained 2 pesticides each that exceeded 

the established tolerances. 

In addition, 642 samples were found to have pesticides for which no tolerance was established, 

including 444 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 151 processed fruit/vegetable samples, 30 

rice samples, and 17 wheat flour samples.

o 508 samples contained 1 pesticide for which no tolerance was established. 

o 106 samples contained 2 pesticides for which no tolerance was established. 

o 13 samples contained 3 pesticides for which no tolerance was established. 

o 13 samples contained 4 pesticides for which no tolerance was established. 

o 2 samples contained 7 pesticides for which no tolerance was established. 

Twenty of the 642 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 K also notes if metabolites (or isomers) were detected as part of the same sample. 

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

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

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

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

NOTES 

1 One asparagus sample had tolerance exceeders for both Chlorfenapyr and Cypermethrin. 

2 Includes cyhalothrin lambda plus R157836 epimer. 

3 Deltamethrin includes parent Tralomethrin. 

4 One snap pea sample had tolerance exceeders for both Abamectin and Deltamethrin. 

5 Tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI) is a metabolite of Captafol and Captan. 

6 Carbendazim (MBC) is a metabolite of Benomyl and Thiophanate methyl. 

7 Two asparagus samples contained both Carbofuran and its 3-Hydroxycarbofuran metabolite. 

8 One cilantro sample, two mango samples, and one frozen spinach sample contained both Dimethoate and its Omethoate metabolite. 

9 Twenty cilantro samples, one olive sample, one raisin sample, and one wheat flour sample contained both the cis and trans permethrin isomers. 

10 Eight cilantro samples contained both Quintozene and its Pentachloroaniline 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.
