SECTION 102 Pesticide Analytical Manual Vol I Processed Food In the absence of EPA regulations, FDA also developed the instructions listed in Table 102-b on the portion of processed food to be analyzed for tolerance enforce. ment purposes. These instructions, like the ones for raw agricultural commodities, ensure uniformity and consistency in FDA analysis of processed food for pesticide residues. The instructions take a practical approach for sample preparation of processed food; e.g., fruit juice concentrates that are normally reconstituted before consumption are also reconstituted prior to analysis for pesticide residues.
