One of the manufacturers responded
After it became clear that “Rimi Lietuva” is also removing potentially unsafe organic 500 g buckwheat groats “Biorina” from the market, the company itself reacted to the spread information.
“The amount of glyphosate found in our products minimally exceeds the requirements for organic products. However, this quantity does not exceed the norms established by the EU for non-organic products and meets all safety standards and does not pose any danger to human or animal health and can be used for food. Responding to the information of the State Food and Veterinary Service, we urgently additionally examined the specified batch, the results of the investigation refuted the information about the exceeded norm. This case is further investigated by VšĮ “Ekoagros”. The process may take some time to confirm or deny this information.”
Our product is safe to use, although it does not meet the requirements for organic products,” reads the comment sent by UAB “Lašų duona”.
