Abstract:

Carrot is one of the most common vegetables, which is widely consumed because of its rich nutrition. China is the main producer and largest exporter of carrots in the world, with significant export advantages in the international market, mainly exporting to Southeast Asian markets. In this paper, by collecting and comparing the pesticide residue limits in carrots set by international organizations and RCEP member countries, such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), Japan, Republic of Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, etc., as well as by combining the domestic carrots food safety supervision and sampling inspection, notification of non-conformity in foreign countries, and foreign trade measures, we focused on comparing and analyzing the pesticide residue limits of four pesticides. We also analyzed the pesticide residue limits of four pesticides, and summarized the three suggestions of improving the standard system, improving the risk warning and response ability and collaborative supervision, aiming to provide reference for improving the quality of carrots in China and promoting the convergence of China's standards with the international standards. This paper filled in gaps in carrot limit standards and index comparison at home and abroad.

Key words: carrot, pesticide residues, limit standards, comparative study
