Abstract

To investigate residual pesticide levels in agricultural products contained in Meal-kits, 27 Meal-kit products were collected from marts, Meal-kit shops, and online stores in Incheon City, South Korea. Seventy-six vegetable and thirty-seven mushroom products were analyzed for residual levels of 339 pesticides. Residual pesticides were detected in 23 out of 76 vegetables and were not present in the 37 mushroom products. The residual pesticide detection rate was 20.4% (23/113 cases). The pesticides famoxadone 0.034 mg/kg (standard: 0.01 mg/kg or less, PLS) and fenpyroximate 0.302 mg/kg (standard: 0.01 mg/kg or less, PLS) exceeded their maximum residue levels (MRL). This survey revealed that various types of pesticides remain in agricultural products in Meal-kits. Due to the nature of Meal-kit products, there is no separate standard for residual pesticides in agricultural products. Therefore, continuous monitoring of residual pesticides is necessary.

밀키트 중 농산물의 잔류농약 안전성 조사를 위해 인천광역시 내 대형마트, 밀키트 전문점 및 온라인 스토어에서 밀키트 27개 제품을 수거하여 원재료 중 채소류 76품목, 버섯류 37품목을 대상으로 잔류농약 339 항목에 대해 분석하였다. 채소류 76품목 중 23품목에서 잔류농약이 검출되었으며, 버섯류 37품목은 검출되지 않았다. 잔류농약 검출률은 20.4%(23건/113건)를 보였으며 평균적으로 인천광역시 유통 농산물의 잔류농약 검출률이 8.0%인것과 비교해 보면 2배 이상 높게 검출된 것을 알 수 있었다. 조사결과 23건의 잔류농약이 검출된 시료에서 총 45 항목이 검출되었으며, 잔류농약 종류는 29 항목인 것으로 나타났다. 살충제 17 항목(37.8%), 살균제 16 항목(35.5%), 살응애제(살비제) 9 항목(20%), 식물생장조절제 3 항목(6.7%)이었다. 검출된 잔류농약 중 청경채에서 2건이 농약 잔류허용기준을 초과하였으며 초과된 농약은 famoxadone 0.034 mg/kg(기준: 0.01 mg/kg 이하, PLS), fenpyroximate 0.302 mg/kg(기준: 0.01 mg/kg 이하, PLS)이었다. 부적합률은 1.8%(2건/113건)이며, 평균적인 부적합률 1.2%와 비슷하게 나타났다. 이번 조사를 통해 밀키트 중 농산물에 다양한 종류의 농약이 잔류하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 밀키트 제품의 특성상 농산물에 대한 잔류농약 기준이 따로 설정되어 있지 않기 때문에 잔류농약에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다고 판단된다.
