The aim of our study was to investigate the amount of 110 pesticide residues in cereals and foodstuff from Poland as a part of official control. A total of 89 samples were collected in 2009-10. In 84.2% of the samples no residues were found: 15.8% of samples contained pesticide residues below the maximum residue limit. Pirimiphos-methyl was the most frequently found pesticide. The results show that occurrence of pesticide residues in cereals and feeding stuff could not be considered serious threats to human and animal health. Nevertheless, an investigation into continuous monitoring and tighter regulation of pesticide residues in food and feed is recommended.
