Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are set by individual countries and vary by pesticide and commodity. Therefore, food supplies, including imported and exported products, must be monitored to check for compliance with these MRLs to ensure that consumers are not being exposed to pesticide levels that are harmful to their health. As new pesticides are introduced by the agrochemical industry and MRLs are lowered, the analysis of pesticide residues in food matrices becomes even mor
