UK Supermarket Pesticide Rating
27/11/2024
UK supermarkets are not doing enough to protect human health, wildlife or the environment from pesticides.
Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) continue to be used within the global supply chains of all of the UK’s largest ten supermarkets, including carcinogens and hormone disruptors, bee-toxins and water contaminants. Since the launch of our previous ranking in 2021, PAN UK has been advising supermarkets on how to reduce pesticide-related harms.
In 2024, they have once again surveyed and ranked the UK’s top ten supermarkets on their efforts to tackle pesticides. PAN found that some supermarkets are doing much better than others but they could all be doing more to reduce pesticide-related harms.
