1/2 We monitor pesticide residues in food to help protect human health. With 1000+ pesticides in use, what techniques are being developed to monitor as many as of these pesticides as possible while maintaining efficiency and accuracy? 🤔

Well, the inevitable happened: spotted lanternfly has been found and recorded in Canada (Oakville Ontario – https://t.co/F1VmTaArZK). CFIA and other local organizations are assuredly on it to hopefully find a way of reducing its spread, but vital for folks to watch out for more!!
