Sundried salt was recently registered in food category in Korea in 2008, and food hygiene regulation only applied to several heavy metals and a few inorganic ions. In this report, we investigated the residual amounts of tricyclazole, a highly concerned contaminant from agricultural activity, and estimated their daily intake and hazard index. All 60 sundried salts were collected by region, and qualitatively and quantitatively were analyzed with GC-NPD. In this investigation, only three samples were confirmed the residual tricyclazole in sundried salts. Their maximum residue was 1.7 µg/kg, and their estimated average daily intake was 2.40 × 10 −8~6 .22 × 10 −8 mg/kg-day. From these results, HI of tricyclazole for sundried salts was 7.53 × 10 −7~2 .07 × 10 −6 for Koreans, and the values were not considered as serious risk issues currently.
