The article presents the results of the research on the content of nitrates in the most common vegetables of the Odesa retail network. It has been established that certain types of vegetables have a nitrate content that significantly exceeds the permissible values, and their consumption without proper pretreatment can lead to poisoning. In particular, the content of nitrates in table beets was in the range of 4000.0±254.0-9999.0±457.7 mg/kg. The content of nitrates in the head of white cabbage turned out to be high (1600.0±69.3-2200.0±98.6 mg/kg) and in potatoes (330.0±25.5-850.0±64.2 mg/kg
No excess of nitrate content was found in onions and carrots, and it was 30.0±2.5 and 50.0±3.7-190.0±16.3 mg/kg, respectively.
