The main objectives of the 2013-2014 Children's Food Project (CFP) were to: •assess the compliance status for pesticide residues in infant foods; •assess the level of veterinary drug residues in infant foods containing meat; and •collect data on chemical hazards in infant foods for use by Health Canada in health risk assessments of infant foods. In the 2013-2014 CFP, a total of 204 pureed infant foods and juices (0-2 years) were purchased in the Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec areas. Samples were analyzed for pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, and metals. In total, 643 analytical tests were performed leading to over 92 000 individual results.
