Three exhibits journalists were the guinea pigs of an unprecedented experience. Each following a specific diet, they were subjected for several weeks to analyzes by an independent laboratory. The results are final: eating can harm health.
On the menu: salmon with pesticides, pork and chicken with antibiotics, toxic fruits and vegetables. To find these products just go to the nearest supermarket.
60% of the fruits and vegetables consumed in France are imported from Spain, Turkey or the Maghreb. 70% of fish from Norway, Korea or Vietnam. 30% of what the French eat and their farm animals are imported from China. Our plate is now globalized and its content does not always meet health standards.
But the "made in France" is also a victim of the drifts of industrialization and intensive farming. Our pigs and chickens are often doped with antibiotics despite the law and our fresh fish are full of pollutants.
Evidence investigated the production of the main foods we eat, and the effectiveness of the controls that are supposed to protect our health.

Hard to digest "Evidence" launches food alert
Salmon poisoned with pesticides, pigs stuffed with antibiotics, strawberries sprinkled with prohibited fertilizers… This is the menu you will taste this summer. A few days before the holidays and the joys of the barbecue, "Exhibits" (at 20:35 pm on France 3) launches a food alert: sardine fishing has already been prohibited in the Seine bay. Pyralene is now threatening other fish.
"Bruno Le Maire, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, made me understand that the ban on mackerel and Norman sea bass could be decreed in October, explains the presenter and editor-in-chief of the program, Elise Lucet. But while waiting for the results of a new report, we will eat fish stuffed with pyralene throughout the summer. "
Questioned by 20 Minutes, the ministry recognizes the problems, but wants to be reassuring. "You should not be afraid to eat the fish that is on the shelves because the controls are strict", explains Minister Bertrand Sirven's adviser.
Antibiotic feeding
Regarding the toxic pesticides used in Norway to treat salmon, contacts have been made with the Norwegian minister. "We are awaiting his response. What happened in Norway could not happen in France", assures the adviser. And the force-feeding with antibiotics, very French those, of farm animals by unscrupulous veterinarians? " The minister claims that the phenomenon is marginal, says Elise Lucet. He will still announce a big meeting with the council of the order of this profession. "There is an emergency: in the hospital, patients are more and more often insensitive to antibiotics because they have swallowed them.
