Pesticide found in radish sample

January 06, 2015

The Centre for Food Safety has found excessive pesticide residues in an imported radish sample.

 

It was found to contain cyhalothrin at a level of 0.025 parts per million, 2.5 times the maximum residue limit.

 

Food safety officials said that based on the level of pesticide found in the sample, eating a normal amount of the vegetable is unlikely to cause adverse health effects.

 

Consumers are reminded to rinse and soak vegetables before eating them to reduce any pesticide on the surface.
