France Faces High Cadmium Exposure Due to Fertilizers, Lawmakers Seek Limits

The high exposure is linked to food, particularly through phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco, which have naturally high cadmium levels. France also benefits from a derogation allowing higher cadmium limits in fertilizers than the EU standard.
