National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program And Chemistry Food Safety Oversight Program Annual Report 2016-2017

​This report summarizes testing results from both the NCRMP and the FSO Program in food samples collected between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Over 120,000 tests for residues of veterinary drugs, pesticides, metals, and contaminants were performed on more than 15,000 NCRMP and FSO monitoring samples and generated millions of results, which are summarized in Annex B of this report. Test results from samples taken as part of the NCRMP and FSO Program showed that the overwhelming majority of food on the market meets Canadian standards for chemical residues. The overall compliance rate was determined to be 96.6% which is consistent with past years.
