Retailers told to remove pesticides from wine

摘要

German Green MEP Hiltrud Breyer has called on retailers to get rid of what she describes as "dangerous pesticides" found in wine, claiming that some of them are carcinogenic and genotoxic. Launching the results of a survey of pesticides in wine at the European Parliament in Brussels, Ms Breyer said: "We need to get rid of the dangerous pesticides. Things which are genotoxic and carcinogenic have no place in food. We want to get rid of hazardous substances."
