Uvavanyo lwe-USDA ngo-2023 lufumanise ukuba ama-99% eemveliso zokutya azidlulanga imida yeentsalela zezibulali-zinambuzane.

I-PDP yenza iisampulu kunye novavanyo lonyaka ukuze kufunyanwe ulwazi malungaisibulali-zinambuzaneintsalela yokutya eMelika. I-PDP ivavanya iintlobo ngeentlobo zokutya kwasekhaya nokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe, igxile kakhulu ekutyeni okutyiwa rhoqo ziintsana nabantwana.
I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US ithathela ingqalelo amanqanaba okuvezwa kunye nemiphumo yempilo yezibulali-zinambuzane ekutyeni kwaye imisela imida ephezulu yentsalela (ii-MRL) yezibulali-zinambuzane ekutyeni.
Iisampulu ezingama-9,832 zizonke zavavanywa ngo-2023, kuquka ii-almond, ii-apile, ii-avokhado, iziqhamo kunye nemifuno eyahlukeneyo yokutya kwabantwana, ii-blackberries (ezintsha neziqandisiweyo), iseleri, iidiliya, amakhowa, itswele, iiplums, iitapile, umbona omnandi (omtsha neziqandisiweyo), ii-tart berries zaseMexico, iitumato kunye ne-watermelon.
Ngaphezulu kwama-99% eesampuli zazinamanqanaba entsalela yezibulali-zinambuzane ngaphantsi kwesiseko se-EPA, apho ama-38.8% eesampuli engenazo iintsalela zezibulali-zinambuzane ezinokubonwa, ukwanda ukusuka kowama-2022, apho ama-27.6% eesampuli ayengenazo iintsalela ezinokubonwa.
Iisampulu ezingama-240 zizonke zazinezibulala-zinambuzane ezingama-268 ezazingahambelani ne-EPA MRLs okanye zazinentsalela engamkelekanga. Iisampulu eziqulethe izibulala-zinambuzane ezingaphezu komlinganiselo omiselweyo zaziquka iiblackberries ezintsha ezili-12, iblackberry eqandisiweyo e-1, ipesika encinci e-1, iseleri ezi-3, iidiliya ezi-9, ii-tart berries ezili-18, kunye neetumato ezi-4.
Iintsalela ezinezinga lokunyamezela elingachazwanga zafunyanwa kwiisampulu zeziqhamo nemifuno ezisandul’ ukucocwa nezilungisiweyo ezili-197 kunye nesampulu enye ye-almond. Izinto ezazingenazo iisampulu zezinambuzane ezinezinga lokunyamezela elingachazwanga ziquka ii-avokhado, isosi yama-apple, ii-baby peas, ii-baby pears, umbona omnandi omtsha, umbona omnandi oqandisiweyo, kunye neediliya.
I-PDP ikwajonga ukubonelelwa kokutya kwiingcolisi eziphilayo ezihlala zikhona (ii-POP), kuquka izibulali-zinambuzane ezingavumelekanga eMelika kodwa ezihlala kwindawo ezingqongileyo kwaye zinokufunxwa zizityalo. Umzekelo, i-DDT, i-DDD, kunye ne-DDE enobuthi zifunyenwe kwi-2.7 ekhulwini yeetapile, i-0.9 ekhulwini yeseleri, kunye ne-0.4 ekhulwini yokutya komntwana wekherothi.
Nangona iziphumo ze-USDA PDP zibonisa ukuba amanqanaba entsalela yezibulali-zinambuzane ayahambelana nemida yokunyamezelana kwe-EPA unyaka nonyaka, abanye abavumelani nokuba iimveliso zezolimo zase-US azichaphazeleki ngokupheleleyo yimingcipheko yezibulali-zinambuzane. Ngo-Epreli 2024, iiConsumer Reports zapapasha uhlalutyo lwedatha yeminyaka esixhenxe ye-PDP, zisithi imida yokunyamezelana kwe-EPA yayibekwe phezulu kakhulu. IiConsumer Reports zaphinda zavavanya idatha ye-PDP zisebenzisa umlinganiselo ongaphantsi kwe-EPA MRL zaza zavakalisa isilumkiso kwezinye iimveliso. Isishwankathelo sohlalutyo lweeNgxelo zabaThengi singafundwa apha.
