Findings show almost no detectable pesticide residues in California

THE 2019 California Pesticide Residue Monitoring Program Report, published by the Department of Pesticide Regulation, has revealed that 96% of fresh-produce samples, including potatoes and other vegetables, collected by DPR scientists in 2019, had no detectable pesticide residues, or amounts below the US Environmental Protection Agency's safety limits.

The findings are based on 3,274 samples from around 500 stores, distribution centres and outdoor markets which were tested for pesticides and pesticide-breakdown products.
