The European Pesticide Control Network has found that the most contaminated food products are breakfast cereals. Especially children's ones, which has already caused great indignation in the social networks of European states.
According to The Guardian, the average concentration of these substances is 100 times higher than in tap water.
According to a study, common breakfast cereals in the European Union contain a "high content" of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). It is a by—product formed during the decomposition in the soil of pesticides containing PFAS - highly resistant chemicals.
The source clarifies that the analysis was carried out on the basis of 65 common grain products purchased in 16 European countries, including breakfast cereals, popular sweets, pasta, croissants, whole grain and refined bread and flour.
"Everyone is exposed to PFAS in various ways, including through food and drinking water. Our findings highlight the urgent need for an immediate ban on PFAS—based pesticides in order to prevent further contamination of the food chain," said Salome Rouanel, responsible for the study.
The findings show that "typical breakfast cereals are the most contaminated food product," since with respect to trifluoroacetic acid, "average concentrations are 100 times higher than in tap water."
