Blueberer recall: Discounters warn of toxic pesticide residues!

Current problems of pesticides and recalls from blueberries concern consumers in Germany and Austria. In a press release, the Lower Austria Chamber of Agriculture claimed that domestic agriculture is under pressure if the rules for pesticides are not loosened. It demands the return of too long -forbidden pesticides, which in direct contradiction is a recent warning of Global 2000, which criticize the recall of Chilean blueberries due to residues of the pesticide phosmet banned in the EU since 2022. According to Global 2000, the recall shows that the EU regulations pull dangerous substances out of circulation and thus ensure the safety of consumers. Helmut Burtscher damage, environmental chemist at Global 2000, emphasizes that such recalls are necessary to protect people and the environment, and calls for a factual discussion about pesticide applications in agriculture.

In addition, the discounter Norma warned that blueberries must be called back from the River Valley brand because they have high pesticide residues. The blueberries that come from the dealer Port International were removed from both Norma and Penny. Consumption should urgently be avoided, since the measured amount of the forbidden pesticide phosmet exceeds the permissible limit. The affected products include 200 grams and 500 gram packs sold in several federal states, including Hesse, Saxony and Thuringia. It is important for customers to know that they can return the product in the discounter without a receipt and get their money back.

Reclections illustrate the importance of the control of pesticide residues in food and focus on the health risks that arise from these dangerous substances. Consumers should find out more about the current recalls and risks of pesticides to be protected against health dangers, as already described in the warning of Ruhr24. This topic remains of great relevance, both for the farmers and consumers, and requires an honest and transparent discussion about the use of chemicals in agriculture and their effects.
