In collaboration with the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese), the Ministry of Health launched a new tab on the Health Surveillance Panel for Populations Exposed to Pesticides (VSPEA in Portuguese), offering an unprecedented way to visualize information on pesticide residue levels in foods consumed by the Brazilian population. The initiative, developed by the Ministry’s General Coordination for Environmental Health Surveillance in collaboration with Anvisa’s General Directorate of Toxicology, reinforces the federal government’s commitment to transparency and to strengthening environmental health surveillance efforts.
