Still Waters Posted March 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Pesticides have been found in fresh salmon sold by leading supermarkets. Farmed salmon from Norway and Scotland is hugely popular as a healthy oily fish. Trace levels of these chemicals were found in fish sold by Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Iceland. DDT was banned for use almost 30 years ago because of its risk to human health. http://www.dailymail...permarkets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
