Indonesia’s TOXIC TOFU Timebomb: Poisoning Millions Daily
Summary
Description
Welcome to Surabaya, East Java—where entire villages of backyard tofu shacks torch truckloads of imported plastic for fuel and crank out bean curd laced with war-grade dioxins. Lab tests on village eggs hit 200 pg TEQ/g fat—about 80× the legal limit and neck-and-neck with Vietnam’s Agent-Orange hotspot. Add in flame-retardant PBDEs, SCCPs and PFAS, and you’ve got the nastiest brunch you never ordered. I spend 48 hours with the workers, breathe the black smoke, and ask why nobody’s hitting the brakes. Smash that bell, drop a comment, and tell me: would you still eat the tofu?
