Companies that poison the people like this should be sanctioned, along with their owners. Greed and profiteering

There are all kinds of toxic residues and contaminants in the US food supply because there's a lack of testing, lack of regulation, lack of enforcement, and a lack of the precautionary principle. Meanwhile, farmers will continue spraying RoundUp on oats just before harvest, rice grown in the US will contain arsenic from naturally-occurring contaminated soils, and almost all bread contains toxic crap banned in the rest of the world.

For spices and tea it really makes sense to buy organic (not that there are no fraudsters but still).

I carefully check the label and try to only buy Australian made 100% food.

I never buy any food ever from China.

Oh you import food from third world countries and it’s terrible? Who would have guessed.

Better keep pushing the farmers in the EU away for more of these great “trade deals”

The report itself[†] blames the pesticide residue on a "boomerang effect" from EU countries: EU countries export these banned pesticides to third countries, those countries use the banned pesticides on the food they grow, and then the EU countries import that food. In effect, EU companies are still profiting off of the sale and use of banned pesticides on food that Europeans will eat.
