Briefing: France overexposed to heavy metal cadmium due to food

The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety has identified cadmium levels in food that are two to three times higher than those found in other EU countries.

This situation raises critical concerns regarding food safety infrastructure and the potential implications for public health.

Immediate government intervention is being urged to address these elevated cadmium levels, which could affect regulatory frameworks and food supply chains.
