Results are presented for the determination of total bromide residues in cereals and cereal products, pulses, oilseed products, dried fruits, nuts and a variety of other products sampled in Britain during the 3‐year period July 1968 to June 1971. Of the 948 samples examined 801 (84%) contained not more than 100 mg/kg. bromide while only 20 samples (2 %) contained more than 200 mg/kg bromide. The highest residues were found in samples of nuts from India, South Africa and some East African countries and in some animal feedingstuffs.
