Chrysanthemum and oranges are also on the list! Inventory of common fruits and vegetables with cypermethrin residues

2025-09-24

As people's attention to food safety continues to increase, pesticide residue detection has become a key link in guarding the safety of the dining table. Among them, cypermethrin, as a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide, is widely used in agricultural production due to its characteristics of efficient prevention and control of aphids, cabbage caterpillars and other pests. However, if it is used improperly or the safety interval is not reached before harvesting, some fruits and vegetables may have the problem of excessive cypermethrin residues, which needs to be paid attention to.

Chrysanthemum and oranges are also on the list! Common fruits and vegetables with cypermethrin residues

Chrysanthemum, as a much-loved leafy vegetable, has a short growth cycle and frequent insect pests. Cypermethrin insecticides are often used to control aphids and cabbage caterpillars during planting. If farmers do not strictly abide by the withdrawal period regulations, chrysanthemum leaves may exceed the standard of cypermethrin, and long-term consumption poses health risks.

Citrus fruits such as oranges are also at risk of cypermethrin residues. In citrus cultivation, red spiders, leaf-diving moths and other pests are prone to fruit damage, and cypermethrin has been used more due to its long shelf life and low cost. If the fruit is not metabolically degraded before picking, it may lead to excessive cypermethrin residues. Consumers should be vigilant of potential hazards after eating.

In addition to chrysanthemum and oranges, leafy vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce, as well as fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and apples, also often have cypermethrin residues due to pesticide use problems. If these residues exceed the standard, it may affect the function of the human nervous system and increase the metabolic burden on the liver. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a rapid detection method.
