IPEN's "Keep the Promise" campaign for the first Conference of the Parties to the Stockholm Convention.

Egg Sampling

Eggs are a common food in all parts of the world and represent symbols of new life. Like many other foods, eggs are also contaminated with Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). To demonstrate the importance of uncontaminated food and the global nature of POPs contamination, IPEN participating organizations have sampled chicken eggs across the world.

These eggs have been tested for dioxins, furans, PCBs, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and lindane. Eggs should not contain any of these chemicals. We should not allow contamination of new life.

The Keep the Promise campaign documents and Egg Sampling reports are published below.
