Evropa strahuje zbog ovog voća iz Hrvatske: Jedna supstanca je problem
Generalizovane tvrdnje da je 'većina hrvatskih jabuka ' opasna ne štete samo proizvođačima jabuka , već i poverenju građana u domaću hranu i domaću jabuku. Hrvatske jabuke koje se stavljaju na tržište prolaze stroge kontrole u skladu sa evropskim zakonodavstvom, koje ima izuzetno kompleksne i u celom svetu najrigoroznije kontrole i standarde zdravstvene ispravnosti hrane uopšte.
TL;DR
- A study by PAN Europe and 13 European organizations found 85% of apples in European stores contaminated with pesticide cocktails, ranking Croatia among the worst.
- Croatian Fruit Growers' Association president Branimir Markota states that Croatian apples undergo strict EU controls and comply with health safety standards.
- Markota argues that the term 'pesticide cocktail' is not scientific and that the presence of multiple substances in trace amounts does not automatically indicate a health risk.
- Official monitoring shows residues in domestic apples are within legally allowed and safe limits.
- The study identified neurotoxic pesticides and PFAS pesticides, including fludioxonil (an endocrine disruptor), in Croatian apple samples.
- Markota asserts that such analyses should be responsible, science-based, and avoid unnecessarily alarming consumers or harming domestic production.
