Test center fit to buy AND a project to support the surveillance system of goods and services to protect the health of consumers Therefore, surveillance of contamination by agrochemicals in food in collaboration with the network of consumer organizations in the North . 24 samples of crab juice products were sampled from markets in 6 provinces across the north, including Phayao, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Lampang, Lamphun, Phrae between September 7 and 15, 2020 and delivered to a standard laboratory. Analyze Parquat Residues
Ms. Saree Ong Somwang, General Secretary of the Consumer Foundation, said that from the analysis we found parquat, although it was a small amount. But it is considered illegal. Assumed that a rice that was collected from that field is a crab that has been contaminated with chemicals such as paraquat. From the above information, it can be seen that Despite the ban on import, production and sale of parquat from June 1, 2020, it has been completed. Residues of paraquat were also found in the environment and in food. It is inconsistent with the fact that the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has taken information from “Smart Buy” claiming that the parquat was not found in the Puna. As news published on August 28, the past Y is used as the reason to consider canceling the use of Parquat at the next meeting on September 28, despite the Smart Magazine random review being purchased in December 2018. This it was a random inspection of the salted rice crop used in papaya salad in and around Bangkok area. And try the smart shopping downtown I have never tasted the crab juice or crab juice from the North Thais as claimed.
The Consumer Foundation confirms that crab juice from 5 provinces out of 6 provinces has 1 out of 3 out of 24 parquat residues of all those tested.
Paraquats are known to be an acute toxic chemical. There is a serious danger Found in food waste is a health risk for all consumers. What is the cost of public health care? Chemical traders never have to bear and do not have to pay import taxes from the country. In addition to using pressure Professional recruitment lobbying negotiations for the Ministry of Agriculture and the Committee on Hazardous Substances to continually review the abolition of these hazardous chemicals.
Consumer organizations across the country are opposing a review of the cessation of the use of toxins, paraquat and chlorpyrifos. He called for maintaining a resolution on abolishing both chemicals and speeding up the phase-out of glyphosate. Carcinogenic For the safety of consumers
Ms. Puang Thong Wai Wai, the Northern Network of Consumer Organizations, said that Pu Nam Pu or Pu Nam is the local and traditional food of the North. With the same seasoning as shrimp paste It can be used to cook many things, such as chili paste, Pu Kaeng, bamboo shoots, santol, etc. To make crab water, the villagers will wash the crab well. Put turmeric and lemongrass leaves, mash until fine. The crushed crab is dissolved in water. Filter for crab water only.Then simmer for about 8 hours to get thick black thick crab juice. When making the crab juice, use up to 10 kilograms of crab to get just 1 kilogram of crab juice.
Consumers can find out about the origin of the puna. Because crabs come from cultivated farms That can control the level of cleanliness That can be safer than natural paddy fields in rice fields That they can run the risk of finding parquat, leeches, parasites or residues of other chemicals
