Safe Produce Doesn’t Happen by Accident
Government monitoring data demonstrates effectiveness of California’s pesticide regulatory system.
Recent data from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation shows that 97% of fresh produce tested in the state had either no detectable pesticide residues or residues below health-protective levels. This impressive safety record is no accident, according to Lindsey Carter, Executive Director of the California Agricultural Commissioner and Sealers Association (CACASA).
