Are there chemical residues on organic produce?
It isn’t likely, but it is possible. Organic is not a residue-free claim. It is difficult to define what constitutes a “chemical residue”. Some natural materials such as iron, sulfur and copper, approved for use on certified organic farms, can leave a detectable residue. Despite being natural and generally considered safe, these are still “chemical” residues. However, even if we narrow the question down to potentially harmful chemical residues, organic product still isn’t guaranteed “residue free”.
