Should consumers be concern with the safety of eating organically grown food?
Yes, to an extent. Consumers should be no more worried or concerned with organically grown food as they are with food that they buy at the grocery store. Certified organic growers follow strict guidelines for safe and hygienic food production. As with all food producers, they must comply with the regular state and federal health standards. Although organic production does have strict rules and regulations in regards to how they can grow and what they can use they are allowed to practice pasteurization, use of chlorine in select ways and other food safety practices.
