Zeziphi iziqhamo nemifuno ekhuselekileyo?
Isiseko seSikhokelo se-EWG kukunceda abathengi baqonde ukuba zeziphi iziqhamo kunye nemifuno enezona ntsalela zininzi okanye ezincinci zezitshabalalisi.
Thomas Galligan, Ph.D., i-toxicologist kunye ne-EWG ichaza ukuba i-Dirty Dozen ayilona uluhlu lweziqhamo kunye nemifuno yokuphepha.Endaweni yoko, i-EWG icebisa ukuba abathengi bakhethe iinguqulelo eziphilayo kwezi zilishumi elinambini “Dirty Dozen” izinto, ukuba ziyafumaneka kwaye ziyafikeleleka:

UGalligan uthi: “Iziqhamo nemifuno yinxalenye yokutya okusempilweni."Wonke umntu kufuneka atye imveliso eninzi, nokuba yesiqhelo okanye yendalo, kuba izibonelelo zokutya okuphezulu kwiziqhamo kunye nemifuno zingaphezulu kobungozi obunokubakho bokuvezwa kwezibulali zinambuzane."
Ke, ngaba kufuneka ukhethe i-organic?
I-EWG icebisa abathengi ukuba bakhethe imveliso ephilayo nanini na kunokwenzeka, ngakumbi kwizinto ezikuluhlu lweDirty Dozen.Asinguye wonke umntu ovumelana neli cebiso.
