Residues of non-EU-approved pesticides in food

Dangerous pesticides that are banned in the EU for good reason continue to be produced by European corporations such as Bayer, BASF, and Biesterfeld and exported to countries in the Global South. There, they are sprayed on herbs, vegetables, fruit, and tea. The substances endanger local users, and the food ends up back in our supermarkets as imported goods, often with residues of precisely those banned substances. Many of these pesticides are carcinogenic, mutagenic, endocrine disruptors, neurotoxic and/or harmful to fertility.
