Ubushakashatsi bwakozwe n'itsinda rishinzwe ibidukikije (EWG) bwerekanye ko hejuru ya 80% by'icyitegererezo cya hummus na chickpea cyakozweho ubushakashatsi kirimo glyphosate.
Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije cyongeye kwemeza ikoreshwa rya glyphosate muri Mutarama, rivuga ko ridahungabanya abantu.
Icyakora, ibihumbi n'ibihumbi by'imanza zavuze ko indwara za kanseri zasuzumwe.Ariko ibibazo byinshi byarebaga abantu bahumeka glyphosate muri Roundup aho kunywa glyphosate mu biryo.
EWG yemera ko kurya ibice 160 kuri miliyari y'ibiryo buri munsi atari byiza.Ukoresheje ibipimo ngenderwaho, wasanze hummus yo mubirango nkibiribwa byuzuye na Sabra yarenze aya mafaranga.
Umuvugizi w’ibiribwa byuzuye yerekanye kuri imeri yandikiwe Umusozi ko ingero zayo zujuje imipaka ya EPA, ikaba irenze igipimo cya EWG.
Umuvugizi yagize ati: “Isoko ry’ibiribwa ryose risaba abayitanga gutanga gahunda nziza yo kugenzura ibikoresho fatizo (harimo no kwipimisha bikwiye) kugira ngo hubahirizwe amategeko abuza glyphosate.”

Nk’uko EPA ibivuga, glyphosate nkeya ntabwo izatera ingaruka ku buzima.Icyakora, ubushakashatsi bwashyizwe ahagaragara na BMJ mu 2017 bwise inama ya EPA “itajyanye n'igihe” maze isaba ko igomba kuvugururwa kugira ngo igabanye glyphosate yemewe mu biribwa.
Inzobere mu bijyanye n'uburozi bwa EWG, Alexis Temkin, mu ijambo rye yavuze ko kugura hummus na soya ari inzira ku baguzi birinda glyphosate.
Temkin yagize ati: “Kwipimisha EWG ku bicuruzwa bisanzwe by’ibinyamisogwe bya glyphosate bizafasha mu gukorera mu mucyo no kurinda ubusugire bwa Minisiteri y’ubuhinzi ibyemezo by’ibinyabuzima.”
EWG yasohoye ubushakashatsi kuri glyphosate iboneka mu bicuruzwa bya Quaker, Kellogg na General Mills muri Kanama 2018.
