Submission received: 1 June 2013 / Revised: 22 July 2013 / Accepted: 25 July 2013 / Published: 31 July 2013
The following article: doi: 10.3390/foods2010064, available online at: https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/2/1/64 [1], has been retracted by the authors because of some major errors in the broad field of identifying pesticide residue and its concentration. During random cross-check, retention time of pesticides by HPLC did not match with the standard values. As a result, the concentrations of all detected pesticides, maximum residue limits (MRLs), and health risk assessments were altered. These errors render the article [1] incorrect. All authors have confirmed that the reported results were produced using quite inappropriate procedures. As first author, I take full responsibility for the retraction and any other errors in its contents, and would like to offer my apologies on behalf of my co-authors to the readership of Foods for any inconvenience caused by this retraction.
