Food for thought: are organic foods really pesticide free?
When you buy organic food, you don’t always get food free from pesticides, UNSW expert says.
As consumers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that organic foods are free from hormones and pesticides. Walk into any supermarket, you will find fresh produce, canned foods, poultry, and even personal hygiene products labelled as ‘organic’.
