Several tons of smuggled produce from China have tested positive for lead and E.coli contamination.According to a ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Bernadette Reyes on Saturday, the vegetables, seized from a warehouse in Navotas City in August, had no sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance.
Carrots were found with lead past the maximum limit, while other vegetables like tomatoes and onions were found to have high traces of E.coli, which indicate possible contamination from human or animal excrement.“Kalimitan, yung heavy metals tulad ng lead ay nakukuha natin sa lupa or doon sa mga fertilizer. Kung mayroong contamination ng heavy metals yung fertilizer, pwede din magcontribute doon or kahit na yung environment mismo yung mga planta,” added Mugot.
