Samples of fruit tomato at a traditional market and vegetable tomatoes in traditional B detected contain the ac-tive chlorpyrifos pesticide residues below the MRL of pesticides that are safe for consumption by the public and not detrimental to health for the active ingredient profenofos and chlorpyrifos, but it is possible there are other active ingredients or any other toxic substances contained in the tomato.
