HIGHLIGHTS

• Animal-, plant-, and ash-based BBF were analyzed with QuEChERS for the first time.

• QuEChERS simultaneously recovered pesticides and pharmaceuticals in three BBFs.

• QuEChERS was optimized by incorporating ultrasonication and end-over-end rotation.

• The improved QuEChERS method was successfully applied to analyze 15 different BBFs.
