Pesticides in Our Daily Food |
|
The following table lists the 90 (marked by a star) out of 366 detectable pesticides found in our daily food - as compiled by the FDA for the ongoing "Total Diet Study". |
The FDA's Total Diet Study (TDS) has provided data on dietary intake of food contaminants for almost 40 years. Since its inception in 1961 as a program to monitor for radioactive contamination of foods following atmospheric nuclear testing, TDS has grown to encompass residues of pesticides, industrial chemicals, toxic and nutritional elements, vitamins, and radionuclides. In all instances, analyses have been performed on foods prepared for consumption, so that the final results provide a realistic measure of human intake.

a The list of pesticides detectable is expressed in terms of the parent pesticide. However, monitoring coverage and findings may have included metabolites, impurities, and alteration products.
b Some of these pesticides are no longer
manufactured or registered for use in the United States.
c The analytical methodology determines carbendazim, which may result from use of benomyl or carbendazim.
d Such as maneb. |
The FDA conducts ongoing research to expand the pesticide coverage of its monitoring program. This research includes testing the behavior of new or previously untested pesticides through existing analytical methods, and development of new methods to cover pesticides that cannot be determined by methods currently used by FDA. The research encompasses both U.S.-registered pesticides and foreign-use pesticides that are not registered in the U.S. The list of pesticides detectable for 1999 (Table 3) reflects the addition of a number of pesticides whose recovery through the analytical methods used was demonstrated as a result of ongoing research.
