Izibulala-zinambuzane namanye amakhemikhali atholakala cishe kukho konke okudlayo kusukela esitolo sokudla kuya etafuleni lakho. Kodwa sihlanganise uhlu lwezithelo ezingu-12 okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi zinamakhemikhali, kanye nezithelo ezingu-15 okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi zinamakhemikhali.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uthenga izithelo nemifino emisha kakhulu, uthenga engxenyeni yezinto eziphilayo esitolo esikhulu, noma ukhetha amakhilogremu amapentshisi epulazini lendawo, kudingeka uwageze ngaphambi kokuwadla noma ukuwalungisa.
Ngenxa yengozi yamagciwane afana ne-E. coli, i-salmonella, ne-listeria, ukungcola okuxubile, izandla zabanye abantu, kanye namakhemikhali ahlukahlukene asala emifinweni ngendlela yezibulala-zinambuzane noma izilondolozi, yonke imifino kufanele ihlanzwe esinkini ngaphambi kokuba ifike emlonyeni wakho. Yebo, lokhu kufaka phakathi imifino yemvelo, njengoba i-organic isho ukuthi ayinazo izibulala-zinambuzane; isho ukuthi ayinazo izibulala-zinambuzane ezinobuthi, okuyiphutha elivamile phakathi kwabathengi abaningi bezitolo.
Ngaphambi kokuba ukhathazeke kakhulu ngezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane emkhiqizweni wakho, cabanga ukuthi i-USDA's Pesticide Data Program (PDF) ithole ukuthi ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-99 emikhiqizo ehlolwe yayinezinsalela emazingeni ahlangabezana nezindinganiso zokuphepha ezibekwe yi-Environmental Protection Agency, kanti amaphesenti angama-27 ayengenazo nhlobo izinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ezitholakalayo.
Ngamafuphi: Amanye ama-residue alungile, akuwona wonke amakhemikhali ekudleni amabi, futhi akudingeki wesabe uma ukhohlwa ukugeza izithelo nemifino embalwa. Ama-apula, isibonelo, ambozwe nge-wax yezinga lokudla ukuze athathe indawo ye-wax yemvelo ehlanza ngesikhathi senqubo yokuwasha ngemva kokuvunwa. Amanani amancane ezibulala-zinambuzane ngokuvamile awaba nomthelela omkhulu empilweni yakho, kodwa uma ukhathazekile ngokuchayeka okungenzeka ezibulala-zinambuzane noma kwamanye amakhemikhali ekudleni okudlayo, umkhuba owodwa ophephile ongawuthatha ukugeza imikhiqizo yakho ngaphambi kokuyidla.
Ezinye izinhlobo zinamathuba amaningi okukhiqiza izinhlayiya eziqinile kunezinye, futhi ukuze kusizwe ukuhlukanisa umkhiqizo ongcolile kakhulu kongangcolile kangako, i-Environmental Food Safety Working Group engenzi nzuzo ishicilele uhlu lokudla okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kuqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane. Lolu hlu, olubizwa ngokuthi “i-Dirty Dozen,” luyiphepha lokukhohlisa lapho izithelo nemifino kufanele kuhlanzwe khona njalo.
Ithimba lihlaziye amasampula angu-47,510 ezinhlobo ezingu-46 zezithelo nemifino ezihlolwe yi-US Food and Drug Administration kanye noMnyango Wezolimo wase-US.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva lwenhlangano luthole ukuthi ama-strawberry aqukethe inani elikhulu kakhulu lezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane. Kulolu hlaziyo oluphelele, i-berry ethandwayo yayiqukethe amakhemikhali amaningi kunanoma yisiphi esinye isithelo noma imifino.
Ngezansi uzothola ukudla okungu-12 okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kuqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane kanye nokudla okungu-15 okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kungangcoliswa.
I-Dirty Dozen iyinkomba enhle yokukhumbuza abathengi ukuthi yiziphi izithelo nemifino okudingeka zigezwe kahle. Ngisho nokuhlanza ngokushesha ngamanzi noma ngesifutho sensipho kungasiza.
Ungagwema nezingozi eziningi ezingaba khona ngokuthenga izithelo nemifino eqinisekisiwe yemvelo (ekhuliswe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izibulala-zinambuzane zezolimo). Ukwazi ukuthi yikuphi ukudla okuvame ukuba nezibulala-zinambuzane kungakusiza ukuthi unqume ukuthi uzosebenzisa kuphi imali yakho eyengeziwe emikhiqizweni yemvelo. Njengoba ngifundile lapho ngihlaziya amanani okudla okungokwemvelo nokungewona okwemvelo, awaphezulu njengoba ungase ucabange.
Imikhiqizo enezimbozo zemvelo zokuvikela cishe ayinazo izibulala-zinambuzane ezingaba yingozi.
Isampula ye-Clean 15 yayinezinga eliphansi kakhulu lokungcoliswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane kunawo wonke amasampula ahlolwe, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi azinazo nhlobo izinambuzane ezingcoliswayo. Yiqiniso, lokho akusho ukuthi izithelo nemifino oza nayo ekhaya ayinazo izinambuzane ezingcoliswayo. Ngokwezibalo, kuphephile ukudla imikhiqizo engagezwanga evela ku-Clean 15 kuneyase-Dirty Dozen, kodwa kusengumthetho omuhle ukugeza zonke izithelo nemifino ngaphambi kokudla.
Indlela ye-EWG ihlanganisa izindlela eziyisithupha zokulinganisa ukungcoliswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane. Ukuhlaziywa kugxile ekutheni yiziphi izithelo nemifino okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ziqukethe isibulala-zinambuzane esisodwa noma ngaphezulu, kodwa akulinganisi izinga lanoma yisiphi isibulala-zinambuzane esisodwa emkhiqizweni othile. Ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nocwaningo lwe-EWG lwe-Dirty Dozen lapha.
Kumasampula okuhlolwa ahlaziyiwe, i-EWG ithole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-95 amasampula esigabeni sezithelo nemifino "esingcolile" ayembozwe ngemithi yokubulala isikhunta engaba yingozi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, cishe amaphesenti angama-65 amasampula ezigabeni zezithelo nemifino ezihlanzekile eziyishumi nanhlanu ayengenazo izidakamizwa zokubulala isikhunta ezitholakalayo.
I-Environmental Working Group ithole izibulala-zinambuzane eziningana lapho ihlaziya amasampula okuhlola futhi yathola ukuthi ezine kwezihlanu zezibulala-zinambuzane ezivame kakhulu kwakuyizibulala-zinambuzane ezingaba yingozi: i-fludioxonil, i-pyraclostrobin, i-boscalid kanye ne-pyrimethanil.
