Glyphosate Residue Testing Data from Canadian Food Inspection

2015–2017 Glyphosate Testing Data contains results from Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) monitoring of glyphosate residues. The dataset supports scientific publication on pesticide levels in food and environmental samples. It was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in glyphosate residue concentrations across sample types and years.
• Correlate sample attributes like food commodity or origin with detected residue levels.
• Validate regulatory compliance by comparing measured residues against maximum residue limits (MRLs).
• Train classification models to predict sample compliance status based on testing features.

Strengths

• Data spans a multi-year period from 2015 to 2017, allowing for trend analysis.
• Published by the authoritative Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
• Available under the open OGL-CA-2.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample size are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is likely limited to Canada, potentially introducing regional bias.
• Data is from 2015-2017 and may not reflect current residue levels.
