Las dioxinas se encuentran en el medio ambiente y en algunos alimentos, especialmente en los de origen animal, ya que estas partículas se acumulan en los piensos. Según los expertos, más del 90% de casos de exposición humana a dioxinas tiene su origen en los alimentos. El estudio ha analizado varias muestras de alimentos que se incluyen en la dieta común de los catalanes, tales como productos lácteos, aceites vegetales, carne fresca de cerdo, de pollo y de vacuno, huevos, marisco y otros. En ninguno de estos alimentos, la presencia de dioxinas supera los límites máximos establecidos por la OMS.
El alto nivel de dioxinas obligó en junio de 1999 a inmovilizar a las autoridades sanitarias catalanas 35.874 kilos de productos de origen animal procedentes de Bélgica.
