Western Growers has created a new consumer-facing resource to help answer questions about cadmium in fresh produce.
The flyer explains what cadmium is, how it occurs naturally in soil and why the presence of small amounts in food does not necessarily mean a food is unsafe. It also reinforces the importance of eating a varied diet that includes fruits and vegetables.
Members can share the resource with consumers, customers or anyone who may have questions about cadmium in fresh produce.
