While pesticide cocktails tend to be more commonly found in fruit and vegetables, they do feature in other types of food. In both 2017 and 2018, roughly a quarter of all food items tested by the government (which include animal products and grains) contained pesticides cocktails. In 2017, a quarter of bread contained pesticide cocktails as did 53% of rice, with 4% of rice containing residues of nine or more different pesticides. One sample of rice contained three known, possible or probable carcinogens, two endocrine disruptors and one developmental toxin. A quarter of bread contained multiple pesticide cocktails. In 2018, just under a fifth (18.75%) of the 288 samples of bread and wheat tested by the government contained multiple residues.
