Regulation & Policy
Yikes! There are pesticides in my berries!
Summary: Pesticides are designed to kill insects, fungi, and weeds.
Key points
- Pesticides are designed to kill insects, fungi, and weeds.
- So, it is reasonable to wonder whether they can harm us as well.
- Recent reports of pesticide residues in berries exceeding Canadian limits sound alarming, but exceeding a regulatory limit doesn't necessarily mean exceeding a safety threshold.
