Oregon Dept of Agriculture Finds Contaminated Organic Insecticides
Four organic insecticides were recently found to be contaminated with several synthetic insecticides by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). ODA is now working to identify the source of contamination for these insecticides. All found contaminants are insecticides, and their presence in treated plant products could lead to unknown health effects for consumers and major economic losses for organic and other growers.
