We have constructed four similar indicators that specifically give indication about the chemical safety output. Advanced of product sampling for pesticide residues’ and ‘comprehensiveness of judgment criteria for pesticide residues’ assess the type of samples taken and how they are used to judge the chemical safety status of the FSMS. Testing for pesticide residues can be done on a governmental level, by external organizations (such as branch organizations or, retailers), or by producers themselves. Typical for good output is structured sampling, at a company level, and regular monitoring at a sector level (which is statistically underpin). The moderate output is characterized by structured sampling, with fixed frequency, at company level or sector level, and poor output is based on ad-hoc sampling, due to demands of customers or legislation, which is done on particular lot(s)/batch(es). The results can be interpreted based on pesticide residue limits set in guidelines or legislation (e.g., CAC, 2010b; EC, 2005),
sometimes in conjunction with even more stringent private codes (Okello & Swinton, 2010).
