What is USDA Pesticide Residue Testing of Organic Produce (2012) about?
The USDA conducted a pilot study testing 571 organic produce samples for pesticide residues. 96% of samples complied with USDA organic regulations, with 57% having no detected residues and 39% having low level residues under EPA limits. 4% of samples violated regulations, potentially due to mislabeling or inadequate protection from prohibited pesticides. The study demonstrates a model for future residue testing but only analyzed a small selection of organic products.
