Brasília - The National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance ( ANVISA ) has created a working group to discuss ways to track the distribution of fruits and vegetables throughout the country . One of the goals of the group is to define standards that enable the agency to do a mapping of the producers of these foods to facilitate monitoring of pesticide use .
Last week ANVISA released data showing that 29 % of foods surveyed in 2012 had irregularities in the use of pesticides .
The goal of the group , which had the creation published in the Official Gazette on Thursday ( 31 ) , is to implement actions and strategies that ensure labeling and traceability of products of plant origin prepared fresh for human consumption across chain of distribution and marketing .
The Working Group on Traceability is composed of representatives from ANVISA and Sanitary Surveillance state and municipal . He may invite experts and representatives of other institutions to collaborate with the work .
