Is "those who recycling" grammatically correct?

Question

But the researchers found that people who regularly read nutrition labels, those who regularly buy organic food, and those who recycling are less susceptible to the organic ‘health halo’ effect.

I've just saw the above sentence in an Daily Mail article. "Those who recycling" seems quite strange to me. Could somebody tell me whether it is right or wrong?

It should be recycle.

Philip is correct. Furthermore, I find the whole sentence to be problematic. It can be shorten.

But the researchers found that people who regularly read nutrition labels, ~~those who regularly~~ buy organic food, and ~~those who~~ recycle are less susceptible to the organic ‘health halo’ effect.

This gets the point across and is as balance.

Thanks to both of you. I also want to ask if it is always incorrect to put an -ing immediately after "who".

This could suggest that one group of people, who do all three things, are less susceptible to the effect. The original was about three groups of people.
