About this page

This page explains the Consumer Affairs Agency's management of pesticide residues in food. The agency sets residue standards for all pesticides, feed additives, and veterinary pharmaceuticals to protect public health. Residue limits are established for each food type within amounts deemed safe by the Food Safety Commission. Sales and importation of foods exceeding these limits are prohibited under the Food Sanitation Law. The Ministry of Agriculture sets usage standards, and quarantine stations conduct residue testing during imports. The page provides information on the positive list system, FAQs, related regulations, a reference database, and daily intake survey results.
