“A small amount of carbendazim was found on rice at Bufeng Lotus and Tesco Supermarket. A total of 19 samples of vegetables and fruits containing carbendazim, fluorosiliconazole, and tebuconazole residues were found in three supermarkets. This may prove to be harmful to the fetus, according to a survey released by Greenpeace on September 7.
The newspaper reporter tried to contact the supermarket for interviews, but all were rejected.
This is not the first time that pesticide residues have been found in supermarkets and fruits. Since the above “Greenpeace†organization launched this activity in 2010, the majority of supermarkets, including Wal-Mart, have suffered from pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables.
A person close to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision and Inspection said that the root cause of the problem of supermarket pesticides in fruits and vegetables and other foods lies in the detection system. At present, supermarkets conduct inspections on their own. There are many negligences and loopholes. More supermarkets do not detect them at all, but rather suppliers are provided with proof of no pesticide residue. Once a problem occurs, the supplier’s payment is deducted.
"Carbendazion" is frequently reported by the aforementioned "Greenpeace" organization as "Bufeng Lotus, Tesco, and Lianhua Supermarket Fruits and Vegetables, Rice Pesticide Deterrence Test Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report").
“From April to July 2011, we sold vegetables, fruits and vegetables to Bufeng Lotus, Tesco, Lianhua and its subsidiaries Hualian and Century Lotus in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu and Hangzhou. Rice and bulk rice were monitored for pesticides,†said Wang Min, director of the Greenpeace Food and Agriculture Project Team.
According to Wang Hao, “Greenpeace†purchased a total of 62 samples, including 20 samples (including 4 samples of rice) from Tesco supermarkets in Beijing, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, and 4 samples from Shanghai Hualian Supermarket, Shanghai. There were 5 Hualian Supermarket samples, 17 Shanghai Lianhua Supermarkets in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chengdu (including 4 rice samples) and 16 samples (including 4 rice samples) from Wuhan Bufeng Lotus Supermarket in Wuhan.
Examination by a third-party independent testing agency revealed that 9 out of the 12 rice samples contained trace amounts of trace traces of pesticide residue, and trace traces of carbendazim were found on Bufeng Lotus and Tesco supermarket rice.
“Although the amount of pesticides in rice is very small, we may have a negative impact on our health through continuous daily dietary exposures or small doses of pesticides,†Wang Xi explained. “Especially carbendazim, According to the EU study, it has been shown that it may damage the reproductive system and cause heritable genetic damage, thus endangering the fetus."
In addition to rice, the results of the other 50 fruit and vegetable samples are also not optimistic. It was found that 20 samples of fruits and vegetables in the three supermarket samples had carbendazim, dimethomorph, and procymidone or their mixed residues, and these pesticides all interfered with human endocrine secretion.
At the same time, a total of 19 samples of vegetables and fruits containing carbendazim, fluorosiliconazole, and tebuconazole residues were found in three supermarkets, and these pesticides have been proven to be dangerous to the fetus.
The above report points out that the investigation team found dimethomorph in six samples from three supermarkets, found procymidone in seven samples, and found pyrimethanil in four samples. These pesticide residues were found in one sample. The latest research in EU countries lists pesticides that may harm the male reproductive system.
Supermarket testing is not responsible for this reporter's reporter learned that the Ministry of Agriculture announced in July this year, "high toxic pesticide elimination and banned work program," pointed out that by the end of 2011, banned and eliminated 10 pesticides such as benzene and phosphorus, and consider the ban on killing Phosphorus and other 12 kinds of highly toxic pesticides.
“Despite the strong will of the government, our investigation found that the attitude and behavior of large supermarkets that are buyers of agricultural products (14.26, 0.00, and 0.00%) in the treatment of pesticides are worth reviewing,†Wang Xi told reporters. We call on them to take immediate measures to establish a sound quality and safety retrospective control system for agricultural products so as to reduce the use of a variety of high-risk pesticide agricultural products."
“This test result clearly shows that supermarkets have not performed their duties seriously to consumers,†Wang Xi said. “Supermarket suppliers are relatively stable and easy to manage, and supermarkets should be able to pass on suppliers. Management to provide consumers with safe food."
The above-mentioned person approaching the Beijing Quality Inspection Bureau stated that the problem of pesticide residues is the biggest hidden danger of food safety in supermarkets. However, inspections of supermarkets by quality inspection, health, and agriculture departments still remain on sample sampling. Especially for small supermarkets in remote suburbs, it is basically difficult to cover.
In addition to this, the above-mentioned sources believe that there is a problem with the supermarket's self-testing system. Because most of the suppliers are currently being detained for 1-3 months in supermarkets, many supermarkets have procrastinated to delay payment to suppliers. Suppliers who actually have pesticide residues may instead evade detection through bribery.
Wang Min told reporters that on the one hand, it should strengthen the detection of pesticide residues. On the other hand, it should strengthen the management of suppliers and supply chains, and ensure that consumers can understand the situation of pesticide residues in a timely manner.
The above-mentioned person approaching the Beijing Quality Supervision Bureau pointed out to this reporter that the actions of supermarkets alone are not enough, and they can't point the finger at supermarkets alone, because supermarkets are not the main responsible party responsible for food safety such as fruits and vegetables, and rice. "More important regulatory responsibility should be in the government, the Ministry of Agriculture in the production of agricultural products, Food and Drug Administration in the market access of agricultural products have not fulfilled the corresponding responsibility?"
