Disruption of plant pests (OPT) led to a decline in the quantity and quality of horticultural crops. The threat of plant pest (OPT) from insect encourage farmers to control plant pest and disease through pesticides. Insecticide spraying process cause pollution and leave residues in horticultural crops with its toxic, persistent and accumulate on the environment, resistent to target species, potential risk to human health, and attacks to nervous system in humans. Cibeureum, Kertasari subdistrict is growing area as a producer of horticultural in vegetables such as cabbage and carrot with the farmers as a workers who living in that area. Food processing methods by washing with running water and washing with running water followed by boiling can reduce organophosphate residues contained in the raw food for human consumption. Diazinon, fenitrotion, metidation, malathion, chlorpyrifos, paration, and profenofos are detected in carrot and cabbage. The average value of the concentration of organophosphate residues in carrots for all methods more higher than cabbage. Washing with running water followed by boiling reduced the organophosphate residues more effectively than washing with running water. Health risk analysis assessed by the value of Average Daily Dose (ADD) and Hazard Index (HI). The ADD value was below than ADI value indicates the contamination levels of pesticide intake was still acceptable. HI value for all of respondents were below one indicates that the dose of organophosphate residues into the human body will not result in adverse non-carsinogenic effect
