From January 2026, new food regulations will apply in Switzerland that will have an impact on consumers, farmers, exporters and importers of food products. I remember a long time ago, when Italy and other countries had banned mushrooms imported from China due to the pesticides used, Switzerland still allowed them to be imported. I remember reading other articles talking of a few differences between allowances in EU vs those in Switzerland, and other articles mentioning how much more commonplace tumors are for people under 50, including many young adults and teens. A few days ago my father wrote me regarding BPA in canned foods and how EU set to change this from being so commonplace, asking me to avoid buying until they performed this change. I googled the situation in Switzerland out of curiosity, and found that BPA has been more commonplace than thought in canned food and in use of materials in contact with food. One of the more interesting articles was from SwissInfo . What’s everyone thinking on the situation? After reading the article I honestly am not surprised anymore of why Switzerland has had such a big wave of tumors and ailments even in younger people. I wasn’t even aware that BPA was present in chocolate production. I personally don’t eat meat, but allowing meat byproduct to be eaten sounds like a second coming of Mad Cow disease (though this is just an impression and worry without having delved deeper into it).
