National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program and Chemistry Food Safety Oversight Program Annual Report 2018-2019

​This report summarizes testing results from both the NCRMP and the fresh fruit and vegetable portion of the FSO Program in food samples collected between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019 (hereafter referred to as 2018/19). Over 115,000 tests for residues of veterinary drugs, pesticides, metals, and contaminants were performed on approximately 16,800 NCRMP and FSO monitoring samples and generated millions of results, which are summarized in Annex B of this report. Test results from samples taken as part of the NCRMP and FSO Program showed that the overwhelming majority of food on the market meets Canadian standards for chemical residues. The overall compliance rate was determined to be 96.7% which is consistent with past years.
