title: State findings on pesticide residues in food--1988 and 1989.
abstract: Findings of pesticide and related chemical residues are presented for 27,065 samples of foods collected and analyzed in 10 state food laboratories over 1988 and 1989 (fiscal years (FY) 88 and 89). These laboratories conduct food regulatory programs compatible with national programs of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Of the findings, 6325 samples contained detectable levels of 1 or more pesticide analytes and 418 (or 1.5%) of the total number of samples were deemed to be of regulatory significance.
