Hej
En undersökning av gifthalterna i frukt och grönsaker visar att 41% av grönsakerna hade halter över dom tillåtna gränserna, lite överraskande var nog ändå att dom stora varuhusens grönsaker och frukt var mer förorenade än dom produkter som salufördes på lokala marknader, många falanger har nog trott att dom stora kedjorna hade bättre koll på detta än försäljarna på gatan och på små marknader.
41 percent of vegetables in Thai markets exceed contamination standards
Ms. Prokchol Ousap, coordinator of Thailand Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN), reported that the organization recently collected 286 samples of vegetables in collaboration with agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), provincial health officials, Tambon health workers, members of national farmer council, consumers’ association and civil society.
She said that the sample sources ranged from fresh markets and shop houses to produce shelves in department stores in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Yasothorn, Srakaew, Chanthaburi, Ratchaburi and Songkhla. The samples included 15 types of vegetables and nine types of fruit commonly consumed by the public. They were sent for analysis by ISO-17025 certified laboratories in the United Kingdom.
“The result is shocking as they found that 41% of the samples were contaminated with chemical pesticides,” said Ms. Prokchol.
The worst contamination was found in bok choy, kale, Thai basil, chili, cauliflower, oranges, rose apples, guava and grapes. The lab also found contamination of 33% of imported fruit was over the standard, while 48.7% of locally grown produce exceeded acceptable contamination standards.
She went on to say that fresh fruit and vegetables on the shelves of large department stores were more contaminated than those sold in local fresh markets, adding that products that are labeled as meeting GAP and GMP standards are safer as only 26% were found to be contaminated.
