On the prohibition in the EU of fruit concentrates treated with macro-synthetic resin 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner calls on the EU institutions to prohibit the sale of fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates treated with macro-reticulated synthetic resin on the ground that it seriously endangers the consumers’ health. He points out that these juices, originating from outside the EU, are synthetically produced from rice syrup and are then enhanced with synthetic additives to seemingly comply with EU food safety requirements and to mislead in relation to the geographical origin of the product.
