Beijing examine strawberries containing pesticide

Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture launched a special investigation on Monday over reports of pesticide-contaminated strawberries.
The bureau sent a team to Changping district, the major strawberry cultivation base in Beijing, to check for restricted or banned pesticides, said a bureau spokesperson.
Should any products not adhere to standards they will be withdrawn from the market, the spokesperson said.
The investigation follows a report by state broadcaster CCTV, which found harmful pesticide residue in all eight strawberry samples it tested.
