The new #EFSA tolerable daily intake for #BPA, updated in April 2023, is 20,000 times lower than the previous limit. It basically means that any intake, no matter how small, is considered a health risk. This amounts to a ban in all but name, but the key question is, what will replace it and is that any less toxic? One of the many factors at play in the complex global #plastic problem.

« Substance active du célèbre #Roundup de #Monsanto, herbicide le plus vendu au monde, le glyphosate est un exemple frappant de la palette des stratégies et basses manœuvres des lobbies de l’#agrochimie et de l’#agroalimentaire main dans la main, au détriment de la santé humaine et de la #biodiversité. »

Réautorisation du #glyphosate : que cache le coup d’accélérateur de l’Europe ?

The European Food Safety Authority says it hasn't found "any critical areas of concern" preventing the controversial and widely used herbicide glyphosate from being reauthorised for use in the EU.

The long-awaited assessment report noted that it had "identified a high long-term risk to mammals in 12 out of 23 proposed uses".

But the EFSA said it only considered a concern "critical" when it affected all proposed uses of the substance.

>The European Food Safety Authority (#EFSA) said on Thursday it had not found "any critical areas of concern" preventing the controversial and widely used herbicide #glyphosate from being reauthorised for use…

The #EFSA, the #EU Food Safety Authority, has declared #glyphosate as non-critical.

Honestly, how blind and corrupt do you have to be to ignore all scientific evidence and declare health, not only of humans but also of the planet, worthless? What shabby creatures work there?

Die #EFSA, die #EU Lebensmittelbehörde, hat #Glyphosat als unkritisch erklärt.

Ehrlich, wie blind und korrupt muss man sein, um alle wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu ignorieren und Gesundheit, nicht nur der Menschen, sondern auch des Planeten, als wertlos auszuweisen? Was für schäbige Kreaturen arbeiten dort?

Réautorisation du #glyphosate. La Commission européenne et les Etats membres ont désormais les mains libres pour renouveler l’autorisation, en décembre 2023, le glyphosate en Europe. C’est le sens des conclusions de l’expertise de l’Autorité européenne de sécurité des aliments (#EFSA), rendue publique jeudi 6 juillet. Évaluation des risques ? aucun « élément de préoccupation critique » n’a été identifié.

Mais bien sûr. 😡
