  comes to making sure that human health is not
  endangered. Food testing laboratories will help
  determine pesticide tolerance levels, known as
  maximum residue limits.
• Some Multi Residue Methods (MRA) includes
  Organochlorine (OC), Organonitrogen (ON),
  Organophosphate (OP), and n-Methyl Carbonates
  (MC).
