The Food and Drug Safety Ministry has suspended sales of Chinese carrots on the market after detecting residual pesticides exceeding the standard limits.

On the 26th, the Ministry announced that triadimefon, a residual pesticide, was detected in Chinese carrots above the standard limit (0.01 mg/kg or less), leading to the suspension of sales and recall of the product. Triadimefon is used to control mold and pests in grains, fruits, and vegetables.
