Pesticides in wine pose no harm, says expert  

中国权威机构回应部分国产葡萄酒含存致癌农药残留

中国国家葡萄酒及白酒、露酒产品质量监督检验中心主任朱济义10日对中新社记者称，国家质量检测中心近期针对两批国产葡萄酒进行了检测，从检测结果看，中国产葡萄酒产品是安全可靠的。

Yantai (CNS) -- A test by the "China National Wine and Liquor Quality Inspection Center" (中国国家葡萄酒及白酒、露酒产品质量监督检验中心) shows that domestic wine products are safe and reliable, said Zhu Jiyi, the center's director, on Friday.

Zhu's statement came in response to an online rumor that some domestic wine brands contain excessive amounts of cancer-causing pesticides.

Zhu said that tiny amounts of metalaxyl and carbendazim were found in some products during the recent inspection, but far less than the maximum allowed by Chinese and EU standards.
