☕ Do you know what might be in your everyday foods?
An article by CSP analyzed pesticide residues in essential items from Brazil’s Basic Food Basket, such as rice, beans, coffee, and flour. The results show that more than half of the samples contained detectable residues, all within legal limits.
The authors warn, however, that compliance with the law does not imply the absence of risk. Continuous exposure to small amounts and the combination of different substances can have health impacts, especially for more vulnerable groups.
🌱 The study reinforces the importance of continuous monitoring of these residues and the debate on food safety in Brazil
