The results indicated that almost
all samples were contained pesticides, only 39% contained pesticide residues at or below maximum
residue limits (MRLs), and 61% contained pesticide residues above MRLs. From the six analyzed
pesticides, carbofuran and chlorpyrifos were found above to MRLs with concentrations ranging from
0.01–0.39 and 0.05–0.96 mg/kg, respectively.
