Contaminated food and nutrients

Coldiretti publishes the black list of contaminated foods, to be absolutely avoided.

With almost all (92%) of the samples found to be irregular due to the presence of chemical residues, broccoli from China is the least safe food product, but parsley from Vietnam is also worrying with 78% irregularities and basil from India which is out of standard in 6 out of 10 cases. This is what emerges from the "Black list of the most contaminated foods" presented by Coldiretti, based on the analyzes conducted by the European Food Safety Agency (Efsa) in the 2015 Report on Residues of Phytosanitary in Europe, at the Palabarbuto in Naples on the occasion of the mobilization of thousands of Italian farmers with tractors to defend the Mediterranean diet.

The conquest of the top of the ranking by China is no coincidence since the Asian giant - recalls Coldiretti - also in 2015 conquered the record in the number of notifications for irregular food products because they were contaminated by the presence of mycotoxins, additives and dyes beyond outside the law, by the European Union, according to an elaboration by Coldiretti on the basis of the Report on the alert system for food. Out of a total of 2967 alarms for irregularities reported in Europe, 386 (15 percent) - specifies Coldiretti - concerned the Asian giant which in Italy in the same year practically quintupled (+ 379%) exports of tomato concentrate which they reached about 67 million kilos in 2015, equal to about 10 per cent of the national production in equivalent fresh tomatoes.
