- halleym 8y agoOrganic foods are an absence of specific herbicides, pesticides and narcotics; not all of them categorically.
- WalterSear 8y agoJust your assumption, unfortunately. > The pesticides that are allowed for organic food production are typically not manmade. They tend to have natural substances like soaps, lime sulfur and hydrogen peroxide as ingredients. Not all natural substances are allowed in organic agriculture; some chemicals like arsenic, strychnine and tobacco dust (nicotine sulfate) are prohibited. http://npic.orst.edu/ingred/organic.html http://npic.orst.edu/ingred/organic.html
- Xeoncross 8y agoUm, there is no assumption here. I guess I could have clarified "Organic foods are an absence of many herbicides, pesticides, and narcotics." Non-organic simply has them all.
