Hoher Gehalt an „ewigen Chemikalien“ in Getreideprodukten in ganz Europa gefunden – Studie

Foods you can’t exactly wash before eating or why that advice hasn’t always been useful

> The highest levels were found in Irish breakfast cereal, followed by Belgian wholemeal bread, then German wholemeal bread, then French baguette. It was found across a huge range of products, from spaghetti, to cheese scones and ginger bread.

>“All people are exposed to TFA through multiple pathways, including food and drinking water. Our findings underscore the urgent need for an immediate ban of Pfas pesticides to stop further contamination of the food chain,” said Salomé Roynel, policy officer at PAN Europe.

>Angeliki Lysimachou, head of science and policy at PAN Europe, said: “All samples were above the default maximum residue limit. We cannot expose children to reprotoxic chemicals. This demands immediate action.”

>Though Britain was not included in the study, the results have implications there, too. Pfas are among some of the most widely used pesticide active substances in the UK, with 27 known Pfas active ingredients in use in UK pesticides, six of which have been identified as highly hazardous. They are used as their properties can enhance a pesticide’s ability to be specific, act faster, and have a longer residual effect on the target organisms.

Is there a list? 

i mean there’s asbestos in coloured sand now and microplastics in our blood, who even cares at this point

It’s on cereals and living beings, it’s impossible to avoid PFAS no matter what you eat, disgusting
