In Ukraine, infected lettuce was brought in: dangerous not only for people.

An infected lettuce with harmful organisms from Italy was discovered in Kyiv and was destroyed to prevent further damage to plants. This organism, the western flower thrips, can harm many types of crops, including cucumbers, peppers, and ornamental plants.

The contamination of food products with harmful organisms poses a serious threat to human health and the economy. In this regard, regulatory authorities are actively working to detect and eliminate violations to ensure safety in the market.
