Abstract
As part of the CFIA's annual monitoring of various food products for chemical residues, the overall compliance rate of the 2013 to 2014 National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program (NCRMP) report was 98.3 per cent. More than 114,000 tests for residues of veterinary drugs, pesticides, metals and other contaminants were performed on over 18,000 samples of dairy products, eggs, honey, meat products, fresh fruits and vegetables, processed products, and maple products. Overall compliance rates were high for all commodities tested and the results observed were consistent with those seen in previous years. All violations were followed-up with appropriate action.
