Cypermethrin is synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, having toxic effects and harmful to humans. It is commonly used by farmers to control pests on cotton and vegetables, but now it used by Jambal Roti’s producer to depress the damage of the products. The aim of study was to determine the concentration of cypermethrin residues on products of Jambal Roti made from Giant Catfish (Arius thalassinus Ruppell). Samples of Jambal Roti were taken from the small, medium and large-scale producer in Lamongan District, East Java with Accidental Sampling Technique. Cypermethrin residues were analyzed using gas chromatography. The results showed that products of Jambal Roti on a small scale producer contain cypermethrin of 1.491-2.124 mg/kg, medium scale of 0.298-0.830 mg/kg and large scale processing 0.027-0.257 mg/kg. This concentration is over the maximum residue limits permitted by the SNI (Indonesian National Standard) and the Codex of Alimentarius Commission of 0.05 mg/kg. © 2014 Sphinx Knowledge House.
