Organic Produce More Susceptible To Microscopic Pathogens

There are many people who are and will be against organic produce and one of the main points they raise is that the food grown organically is more susceptible to microscopic pathogens.  However there is no scientific evidence that shows this and basic level of hygiene when handling food should always be adhered to such as keeping fruit and vegetables away from meat and rinsing fruit and vegetables before use.  In terms of cost there is not always a clear distinction on price – sometimes this depends on the production of the product but in general organic producers have to meet stricter regulations all through the process hence in terms of manpower can be more expensive.

    As someone who is admittedly pretty paranoid of germs, I simply use common sense. When I prepare my organic food I wash my hands before and after handling my food, and I wash/rinse off the food itself whenever possible.

    Just be logical, use common sense and enjoy your healthy, green, organic food. Good stuff!!!
