The aim of this study was to develop a convenient, fast, effective and safe analytical method (QuEChERS) to determine 198 pesticide residues in multi-source date palm fruits using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The calibration curves for most pesticides were linear in the range of 15-150 µg/kg, with r2 values higher than 0.9934 and the relative standard deviation for all pesticides was ≤20%. The mean recovery rate of pesticides was 70-120% and limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were in the range of 5-14 µg/kg and 14-40 µg/kg, respectively. The validated procedure was used to monitor pesticide residues in 30 fresh date samples. It could be concluded that the modified QuEChERS extraction method was efficient in analysing pesticide residues in dates palm and none of the samples contained residues above the MRLs.
