17 Jul 2026 | PAN Europe
A Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe investigation has found widespread pesticide contamination in strawberries from 11 EU countries, including PFAS pesticides and endocrine disruptors. Executive director Dr. Martin Dermine speaks to us about the health risks of multiple-residue “cocktails,” and the reputational and regulatory pressures facing F&B manufacturers. He also outlines actions for effective industry response to the pesticide challenge in Europe.
