Carne contaminata con PFAS – Ständerat vuole ammorbidire il divieto delle vendite – Warns Expert

how about the Ständeräte go ahead with good example and switch the mensa in the parlament to using the contaminated meat as ingredients for the forseeable future – after all, there is no concerns.

It should be documented who eats dishes and who only demands the loudest that the rest of the population eat the contaminated products.

Perhaps a warning label like the ones on cigarettes would help?

Of course they want to soften the sales ban. The economy would suffer if we’d not buy that meat. The healthcare cost might increase, but that’s totally unrelated.

Best part is right in the summary:

>Fleisch von PFAS-belasteten Bauernhöfen soll mit unbelastetem Fleisch vermischt werden dürfen – das Endprodukt muss aber die Grenzwerte einhalten.

That basically means: “We are going to mix contaminated meat with regular meat, that way we can sell all the PFAS-Meat while staying below the limits”. Genius.

The quote is great too:

>Die Höchstwerte für Fleisch und Fisch sind zu abrupt eingeführt worden.

Maybe the limits were introduced to prevent serious impact on the populations health. Now we know that we can just mix

The ETH scientist says that the “half-life” is four years. Within four years you excrete halve of the PFAS from your (first) consumption, we eat about 70kg of meat per year on average, that means there wont ever be a time where there is no PFAS in your body. I hope it gets along nicely with the microplastic in our reproductive system.

But who needs scientists when you have Benedikt Würth, we just need rules, okay? Warning of the potential hazard is just alarmism. PFAS has to follow Benedikts rules and we will be good.
