Annual reports have been prepared to summarize the results of the FDA pesticide residue monitoring program since 1987.  The annual reports can be accessed via this link: https://www.fda.gov/food/pesticides/pesticide-residue-monitoring-program-reports-and-data

Here is an extraction from the 2022 report: 

“In FY 2022 (October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022), the FDA analyzed 2,800 human food samples (731 domestic and 2,069 import samples) in its regulatory monitoring program. The FDA collected domestic human food samples from 41 states and import human food samples from 81 countries/economies. The FDA found that 96.2% of domestic and 89.5% of import human foods were compliant with federal standards. No pesticide chemical residues were detected in 42.7% of the domestic and 44.6% of the import samples.”

USDA’s Pesticide Data Program (PDP) is a national pesticide residue monitoring program and produces the most comprehensive pesticide residue database in the U.S. The Monitoring Programs Division administers PDP activities, including the sampling, testing, and reporting of pesticide residues on agricultural commodities in the U.S. food supply, with an emphasis on those commodities highly consumed by infants and children. The program is implemented through cooperation with State agriculture departments and other Federal agencies. The PDF database can be accessed via this link: https://www.ams.usda.gov/datasets/pdp
