[Agricultural, Fisheries, and Livestock News=Reporter Kim Jin-oh] The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (Director Oh Yoo-kyung) announced on the 30th that the sale and distribution of 'dragon fruit' imported and sold by 'Korea Del Monte Fresh Produce' from Vietnam will be halted and recalled as the fruit was found to contain pesticide residues exceeding the standard limit. The detected pesticide 'Thiabendazole,' used in citrus fruits and sweet potatoes, was found at 0.11 mg per kg, which is 11 times higher than the standard limit of 0.01 mg per kg. The problematic dragon fruit was exported by 'Hoang Phat Fruit Company Limited' in Vietnam, with a total import volume of 10.5 tons.
