Do organic foods last as long as non-organic?
This varies. Because no post-harvest chemicals are used, some organic fresh produce does not last as long as non-organic, but often its lower water content and its non-forced growth mean it may actually last longer. Foods such as sausages and chilled goods contain no artificial preservatives and should be enjoyed as soon as possible. Manufactured organic foods have shelf-lives similar to their non-organic equivalents.
