The Thailand Consumers Council (TCC) and the Thai Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN) have found harmful chemical residues in Shine Muscat grapes, leading to a food scare in Thailand. Out of 24 samples tested, 23 contained hazardous substances, including 50 chemical residues, 22 of which are not regulated under Thai law.
