The invention provides a method for determining chlorantraniliprole residues in vegetables. Acetonitrile is used to homogeneously extract chlorantraniliprole residues in a sample, anhydrous magnesiumsulfate is added to remove water, sodium chloride salting-out is carried out, a supernatant is obtained after whirling, oscillation and centrifugation, acetonitrile is added to the supernatant, wateris used for fixing the volume, the mixture is passed through a 0.22[mu]m filter membrane after uniform mixing, then the mixture is detected by a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ion source and is monitored by multiple events in sections, then the mixture is quantified by an external standard method, and a standard series working curve isprepared with blank matrix liquid without components to be detected. According to the method, the addition recovery rate is between 97.6% and 117.9%, the average relative standard deviation (RSD) isbetween 1.5% and 6.0%, and when the addition detection limit is 0.001mg/kg, the signal-to-noise ratio of an instrument is greater than 3. Through verification, the method is simple, rapid and reliablein operation, accurate in qualitative and quantitative analysis, high in sensitivity, good in repeatability, and easy to realize analysis of a large batch of samples. The minimum limit value of chlorantraniliprole residues in vegetables in China is 0.01mg/kg, and the method meets this requirement.
