 Mozzarella cheese

 Last month , I have read a news about Mozzarella Cheese. Few days ago, I read another news about it. The French government stopped and held the cargo with Mozzarella from Napoli and the Italy government announced to collect back the suspected contaminated Mozzarella Cheese.

There were 66 of buffalos had been found excess DIOXINS inside their body. That is why the Mozzarella cheese has been contaminated. The Mozzarella is made from buffalo’s milk! DIOXINS is a chemical which increases the likelihood of cancer.  It is considered as a serious threat to public health and the most dangerous toxins. The first disease associated with dioxins was the extreme skin disease chloracne. It causes acne-like pustules to form across the body and can last for several years.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Margherita, the base for most kinds of pizza.

Mm… It seemed the contaminated areas are widely spread in Napoli. The main cause is the rubbish crisis. I know Mozzarella Cheese is one of the ingredient added on the pizza. Though I know it is not in the main cuisine. I am wondering about how the italian to adapt not to have Mozzarella Cheese in their daily life lol???

義全面回收戴奧辛污染乳酪 歐盟欣慰
(法新社羅馬二十八日電) 在法國  宣布扣留來自義大利  那不勒斯的乳酪貨櫃後,義大利政府今天決定,開始回收市面上所有受戴奧辛污染的莫札瑞拉乳酪。
「義大利新聞社」報導,義國外長達勒瑪今天表示,當局「今早採取經歐盟認可的步驟,回收市面上不合標準的產品,並重新建立國內外消費者的信心」。
法國政府在今天扣留來自義大利坎佩尼亞的乳酪貨櫃。坎佩尼亞的廢棄物處理系統長期以來受人垢病,超出標準的戴奧辛,被認為是此次污染事件的幕後元兇。
日本 和南韓 上週宣布暫停這種乳酪進口。義國當局上週表示,那不勒斯周圍地區有六十六頭水牛被測出戴奧辛過量;這種重金屬會增加罹癌機率。義國政府先前強調,受污染的乳酪並沒有外銷。農業部長狄卡斯楚昨天在記者會中強調:「沒有健康問題」。他說:「這只是一千九百多個養殖場中的八十三起個案,所有有問題的養殖場已進行隔離。」他駁斥污染事件和那不勒斯的垃圾危機有關。當地在去年底爆發嚴重垃圾問題。
