Pesticides
A pesticide panel screens a sample against a fixed list of pesticide, fungicide and growth-regulator compounds, each with its own action limit. A result at or above the limit fails that analyte; a result below it is reported not detected or below the limit of quantitation. What follows is computed from the certificates indexed on this site.
of the 258 indexed batches carry a pesticide panel
individual pesticide analyte results on record
distinct pesticide analytes have appeared in a screen
A finished, consumer-packaged batch is screened against a fixed state list. A wider distinct-name count across the whole index reflects a small number of intermediate, pre-packaging batches tested on an expanded screen, not a wider standard panel; see how to read a COA.
State-mandated panel size
The number of pesticide analytes a finished, consumer-packaged batch is screened against, by state, read directly off the certificates.

- New York
Zero-tolerance limits
A subset of pesticide analytes carry a zero-tolerance action limit rather than a numeric one, printed on the certificate as “Any amt”. See zero-tolerance limits for the full computed breakdown.
Result vocabulary
Every pesticide result is one of five outcomes: a detected numeric result, not detected, below the limit of quantitation, not reported, or not tested. See what these mean.
