Nick Mole from PAN UK remarked that while UK produce has concerning results, the tests reveal that imported foods generally contain far more pesticides that risk consumer health.
The analysis shows that imported foods often have 29 pesticides linked to endocrine disruption, compared to just 12 in domestically grown food, indicating a significant health risk.
Pesticide Action Network's findings highlight the stark difference in pesticide residues, revealing that imported produce contains nearly three times more hazardous pesticides than UK-grown foods.
The UK government is criticized for allowing increasing levels of harmful chemicals in imported foods, necessitating urgent action to reverse this trend in food safety.
