The branch of the National Center of Expertise in the Karaganda region held an action "Choose a safe product", where specialists tested more than 200 samples of fruits, vegetables, melons of foreign and domestic production.

In the course of express laboratory tests by NCE specialists, an excess of nitrate content was detected in 19 samples. The list of products that do not meet the requirements includes: grapes, red onion, pear, white onion, watermelon, banana, green peach, kiwi, plum, kishmish grapes, black grapes, red grapes, melon, pomegranate, pineapple.

We remind you that excessive excess of nitrate content has a general toxic effect on the entire body (drowsiness, decreased performance, headaches). In addition, the toxic effect of nitrates has a negative effect on the liver, kidneys, heart, thyroid gland and increases the risk of malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal tract.

It should be noted that the "Choose a safe product" campaign is held monthly in all regions of the republic.
