with detections
Historical USDA tests detected atrazine in wheat grain (40 of 2,924 samples tested for atrazine), collard greens (34 of 701 samples tested for atrazine), mustard greens (30 of 595 samples tested for atrazine). These are examples; the full table keeps food forms and water studies separate. Detection alone does not establish a health risk.
Tested in 125 food identities. Food identities include separately recorded forms and studies. Testing panels differ by food, so we do not show a combined cross-food detection percentage.
