Aldi sud has sent a letter to the suppliers of its own branded products urging them to reduce the use of glyphosate. Non-profit organisation Foodwatch got hold of that letter and published it. According to the organization, the measure is the result of social pressure on the use of the herbicide.
In brief states that Aldi Süd is taking measures to reduce the glyphosate content in its own brand products. There is already a legal limit within the EU, but Aldi wants to keep a much lower amount. Twenty percent of the current yardstick.
According to Foodwatch, the action is the result of social pressure on the hot topic of glyphosate, which is a problem for organizations in Europe. Aldi itself writes in support that glyphosate may pose health risks, damage to the environment and its use is controversial now that glyphosate is permanently in the spotlights of the media. Foodwatch itself calls for a total ban on glyphosate.
