#Dimethoate
Bloquer l'importation de produits cultivés avec des #pesticides interdits en France ?
C'est possible et cela a même déjà été fait, raconte @sophiechapelle.bsky.social.
C'était en 2016, et il s'agissait de l’importation de cerises traitées au diméthoate...

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Many of these pesticides include products known to be potent endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and neurotoxins that impede children’s brain development. The pesticides are chlorothalonil, simazine, glyphosate, hexazinone, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos and dimethoate.

APVMA moved into an Armidale building in which it was said Joyce had some interest, but that was surely scuttlebutt.

BTW, we first posted about APVMA and dimethoate way back in...

Privées de l'accès au marché 🇫🇷 et anticipant une interdiction générale en Europe, l'Espagne et l'Italie interdisent à leur tour le diméthoate sur la cerise.
Puis le pesticide devient interdit dans toute l'UE en 2020.

The federal pesticides regulator has raised fresh safety concerns for children about a chemical widely used on berries. Suspends products
Insecticide on berries found to exceed safety dose for children
The federal pesticide authority has updated how the chemical dimethoate can be used on berries after new data confirmed skyrocketing consumption has been putting young children over the safety limit.

Surge in berry consumption prompts call for pesticide ban
Australians are eating so many berries that regulators are considering restricting the use of a widely used pesticide.

Dimethoate is banned in Europe and elsewhere,.. can be harvested and sent to Australian supermarkets within a day of being sprayed on blueberries.

'To me, that’s unsafe for Australian consumers. Raspberries and blackberries have to wait a week and tomatoes 21 days before they’re sent to market'.

A researcher claimed to have detected the banned chemical thiometon and high levels of insecticide dimethoate in blueberries.

Coles are advising it is only global warming, not the cessation of insecticide, adding bugs (aka protein) to your punnet of berries.

Dimethoate is a systemic insecticide. Once absorbed into the fruit (the whole point of fruit fly border-quarantine treatment), your cannot wash it off.

So is thiometon.

In 2019 the EU banned the use of the insecticide, dimethoate, "citing concerns over risks to humans and to pollinators such as bees."

In Australia, the APVMA "has ruled farmers must now wait at least 14 days after application before harvesting". 🤷‍♀️

I’ll boycott fresh blueberries #auspol

The results were concerning, with a long-banned toxic insecticide detected in one sample. Subsequent rounds of testing confirmed it wasn't a one-off.

The testing also confirmed the presence of another widely used pesticide known as dimethoate at high levels.

Many blueberry muffins sold in Australia would be illegal in 38 other countries.

Why? Dimethoate.

Neurotoxic & internationally-banned, dimethoate is still approved for use in Australia threatening farmers, pickers, consumers and our global rep in the export market.

Systemic organophosphate insecticides are much more restricted than were, mostly in response to rampant overuse by fruit and vegetable growers. Until fairly recently dimethoate was still sold to home gardeners as 'Rogor'. It was the last remaining effective treatment against Queensland fruit fly.
