Lettuce is a common foodstuff which is consumed across the globe in various forms and within various recipes. Due to this extensive demand there is a real need for effective testing abilities from which to highlight any low quality or potentially unsafe produce with high pesticide residues levels.
Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas.
