Welcome to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pesticide Residue Monitoring Report and Data for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019. The report summarizes the results of FDA’s pesticide monitoring program for FY 2019. Results in the report demonstrate that levels of pesticide residues in the U.S. food supply are well below established safety standards.

The 2019 report is derived from the pesticide residue data provided in the original analytical sample data file (SampleData2019.txt). Three statistical summary files (Product2019.txt, Chemical2019.txt, and CountryProductResidue2019.txt) are also provided. Additionally, six other reference files are included: MethodScope2019.txt, ProdCode.txt, ExtCode.txt, DetCode.txt, Country.txt, and Chemical.txt.
