When products contain lead, and no one is required to tell you A recent investigative report from VG (Norwegian media) revealed that tampon manufacturers have known about lead content in their products. Lead – a substance with no safe lower limit for human exposure. The most alarming part? It's perfectly legal. Manufacturers have no obligation to disclose all harmful substances, whether in intimate products or food. *This is about more than tampons.* It's about a regulatory gap that affects everything from what we put in our bodies to what we eat every day. Consumers lack basic information needed to make informed choices. The questions we should be asking ourselves are: - Why does the burden of proof lie with consumers, not producers? - What if transparency about ingredients was the standard, not the exception? - How can we build systems where safety and openness are the starting point? At Reddiksen, we're working toward a different standard. When you buy directly from local producers, you know exactly where your food comes from and what's in it. Not because regulations require it, but because transparency should be self-evident. What do you think? Where's the line between trade secrets and consumers' right to information? #producttransparency #consumerrights #businessethics #foodsafety #sustainability
