The only solutions are to remove the items from the store shelves, which one major local grocery chain did, or to advertise the product so strongly and favorably that customers consumed the evidence. The threat of food poisoning from aldicarb residues in American hydroponically grown cucumbers comes to mind as one example that residues of toxic chemicals within the plant structure cannot be washed off. Indeed such aldicarb-soaked hydroponically grown cucumbers would had been better removed from the shelves -- before unknowing customers ate them and got sick. However, hydroponically grown produce should from what I've heard generally have -lower- residues than conventionally dirt-grown, and the residues would not very often exceed maximum recommended levels, and not frequently lead to clinical poisoning. |
