The article considers the results of research on chemical safety indicators of vegetable products. The harvest of vegetables was obtained in the peasant farm of A. P. Korneev (Kanikurgan, Blagoveshchensk district), located in the southern agricultural zone of the Zeysko-Bureinskaya plain. The content of heavy metals in vegetables (beetroot F1 Pablo, carrots F1 Abaco, potatoes Vineta, cabbage F1 Atria) was below acceptable levels and varied within (mg/kg): copper – 1.1–1.25; zinc – 0.42–0.54; plumbum – 0.25–0.28; cadmium – 0.011–0.016. The content of pesticides (DDT and its metabolites, HCH and its isomers) in vegetables did not exceed acceptable levels and was within 0.005 – 0.008 and 0.005 – 0.006 mg/kg, respectively. The content of nitrates in vegetables was significantly lower than the acceptable levels. Vegetable products were rich in vitamins, dietary fibers and biologically active substances and did not contain pollutants.
