Here are the cheapest pasta on the market: “be careful”

Food is undoubtedly an essential part of our lives which, in addition to being a source of sustenance, good food has found its way into our daily lives, pampering our palates. Often, seeing a dish that is aesthetically well finished and well prepared by qualified people makes us think that we are consuming authentic food, but unfortunately this is not always the case. The problem, as often, is at the base: indeed, the food is not altered by the different cooking methods but by the treatment with pesticides and other harmful substances. This is a sad reality that affects many foods, first and foremost pasta.

Pasta is one of the most consumed foods in our country but, despite this, a lot of information is omitted from consumers so as not to harm the public image of companies. A well-known newspaper that has always been involved in this sector shone a spotlight on this issue. Very disturbing data have been published and the main suspects are the big brands of our country since, from the analyzes carried out, it emerged that many Italian companies have produced pasta made from flours containing a certain amount of pesticides and glyphosate.

The reporter who followed this case also said that there are 23 brands that did not pass all the different checks and that in addition to pesticides, even deoxynivalenol microtoxins were found which are very dangerous for health human physics, especially if taken by young children. . It should also be noted that the values ​​of the substances are below the maximum threshold provided but in several cases 2 or more harmful substances were found in the same sample analyzed and this is not at all in accordance with the law.

The substances found in greater quantities were glyphosate and chlorpyrifos: the latter in particular is quite toxic for the developing brain, therefore more so in children. As always, of course, it is the consumer who loses, who therefore finds himself the victim of such corporate trickery. Many consumer associations have even taken to the streets to demand more protection and clearer and more sincere labels following the slogan “the consumer must be protected because he has the right to know what he eats and what he contains”. Obviously, there is no reason to put everything in the same bag, because there are also many honest companies that present the citizen with a neatly filled label.
