Description: Pesticides are used to protect crops against insects, weeds, fungi and other pests. Pesticide residue refers to the pesticides that may remain on or in food after they are applied to food crops. As they may have adverse effects on human health, most of the countries have set or are in the process of setting Maximum Residue Limits(MRLs) to be allowed in specific food, which result into rejection of specific food commodities whenever specific pesticide residues are exceeding MRLs. Wasi Asghar, Assistant Director (Technical), will lead a discussion on the presence of Pesticide Residues in food items as a challenge to Food Safety and Food Security. He will be also discussing the variation in MRLs of different countries/ ISSBs which has become a challenge to the trade.
