Study Finds Shocking Rise in Toxic Pesticides on Fruits and Vegetables Across Europe

A new study has revealed a shocking rise in toxic #pesticides contaminating fruit on the shop shelves of #Europe. Analysis carried out by Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe found that there had been a 53% in contaminated produce in the last nine years.

The study contradicts claims by the European Commission that farmers are using less pesticides, which are linked to cancer and other serious illnesses.

“The pesticide risk from eating fruit has risen dramatically,” says PAN Europe campaigner, Salomé Roynel.

“Consumers are now in an awful position, told to eat fresh fruit, much of which is contaminated with the most toxic pesticide residues linked to serious health impacts.”

The research took place between 2011—the year that governments were supposed to start banning pesticides—and 2019. Rather than a decrease in the substances, it shows they actually increased in that time frame.
