Milk and dairy products contain the macro and micro components that our body needs in an adequate and balanced way. It has been stated that milk and dairy products, which have existed and maintained their importance in nutrition since ancient times, may contain various contaminants such as pesticides in recent years, and studies have been carried out on these issues. It has been determined that milk is contaminated with pesticide residues used for various purposes such as the prevention of animal diseases originating from feed, and barn-factory environments. Pesticides provide some advantages such as increasing the yield in agricultural areas, combating pests, and improving the quality of the final product. However, despite the positive features it provides, it has been reported that unconscious pesticide usage can pose many risks. The first of these is its negative impact on human health. For this reason, the usage of some pesticides has been banned by various authorities, and for some, the maximum residue limits that can be allowed in foods have been determined. Recent studies have focused on the development of quick, reliable, easy, short-term, and inexpensive methods for reasons such as different food matrices, difficult extraction of pesticides, and long and costly processes. The current research is a review of existing studies in the literature on the contamination of pesticide residues into milk and dairy products.
