Don’t know for sure, but in Mexico they use Sewage sludge for fertilizer. That contains a lot of things indiscriminately dumped in the sewer, chemical residue, plating solutions, etc. Could be the source if they use produce from Mexico.
(Heck, it could be here too I suppose.)

Happens here too. A few years ago my mother had a farmer who was renting land from her and after a year decided he was going to use sludge on her farm. Luckily us boys got wind of it(no pun intended) and put a stop to it before he put it in her land.

He is no longer farming.

It makes me wonder if more farmers aren't taking short cuts in costs at the expense of poisoning the land and all the people who eat it's bounty. One also may think that those farmers who irrigate their land are using poisoned water sources.

Add farms near major cities that get the rain downwind of major cities and get the pollution that the rain cleanses from the skies.

Makes one think if we will have safe farming at all in the future. .
