蔬果農藥殘留一直是消費者關注的議題，96年度市售蔬果殘留農藥之監測，由各縣市（政府）衛生局每月抽送蔬果檢體6件至本局、中、南、東各檢驗站及衛生局區域聯合分工檢驗體系之農藥殘留檢驗室，依據行政院衛生署公告食品中殘留農藥檢驗方法－多重殘留分析方法及食品中殘留農藥檢驗方法－二硫代胺基甲酸鹽類之檢驗（二）予以檢測，另增加液相層析串聯質譜儀分析，農藥檢驗項目共187種。本計畫抽驗1761件檢體，檢驗結果，不符規定者72件，佔4.1%。其中蔬菜類1359件，不符規定者61件，佔4.5%；水果檢體402件，不符規定者11件，佔2.7%。不符規定蔬果檢體之原因分析，因超過容許量而不合格者6件，殘留不得檢出之農藥者66件。為保護消費者食的安全，本調查結果對不符規定者，已按月即時發布食品消費紅綠燈資訊，並由各地方衛生權責機關依法處辦。

The monitoring program of pesticide residues on marketed fruits and vegetables was performed at BFDA(Bureau of Food and Drug Analysis), Taiwan. A total of 1761 samples were collected in 2007 by local health
bureaus from supermarkets and local traditional markets. The samples were analyzed by multi-residue method of pesticides, which was promulgated by the Department of Health of Taiwan. This method allows simultaneous
determination of 187 items of pesticides by GC/ECD, GC/FPD and LC/MS/MS. Pesticide residues were detected in 32.0% of the 1359 vegetable samples and in 32.6% of the 402 fruit samples. 61 (4.5%) of vegetable
samples and 11 (2.7%) of fruit samples were violated. The overall rate of violation was 4.1%. Of the violative samples, 6 contained pesticide residues at levels above the tolerance for the given pesticide to the given crops category. 66 of the violative samples contained pesticide residue which were not allowed for use in those crops category. The local government has enforced the penalty to the supplier or farmer who provided the violative samples based on the Food Sanitation Control Act and its Enforcement Rules of Taiwan.
