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Should any products not adhere to standards they will be withdrawn from the market, the spokesperson said.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. Endi
