AB  - During the 27-month period between January 1, 1992, and March 31, 1994, 
      Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada analyzed 21,982 samples of fruit and vegetable 
      commodities for pesticide residues. A multiresidue method capable of detecting 
      over 200 analytes was used. In 5784 domestic samples a total of 676 residue 
      findings were made. Of these, 32 (0.55%) were in violation of Canadian maximum 
      residue limits (MRLs). In 16,198 imported products, 464 of 3193 residue findings 
      exceeded MRLs, corresponding to a violation rate of 2.86%. One-half of domestic 
      violations resulted from commodity-pesticide combinations for which there are no 
      Canadian approvals.
