Stay healthy - Buy British!   

Britain’s Pesticide Residue Committee has recently released its report entitled “Pesticides Residues Monitoring”.
The report evaluates pesticide levels across a range of food on sale in the UK covering the second quarter of 2005.

The report indicates that over 97% of fruit and vegetables sold in the country either have no pesticide residue or have less than the legislated amount.
This is great news for producers and consumers alike!

The important news is that the only incidences where residue pesticide residue levels exceeded legal maximums were from imported fruit and vegetables!
The “moral of the story” is, therefore, to buy British whenever possible.  Not only is buying British good for your health, it is also beneficial to the economic life of British producers who, more often than not, suffer unfair competition from the substandard produce brought in from abroad.

The report is a pat on the back for British producers, and it highlights the efforts that they are making in keeping British Produce free from pesticide contamination, and in meeting the quality demanded by the consumer.

Many consumers opt for British produce over the imported variety, knowing that the produce they are buying is both good quality and safe to eat – something that cannot be guaranteed with some produce from overseas!

The bottom-line is simple - stay healthy, Buy British!
