    I work in an industry where certified organic can be a big aspect of a product line… when it comes to pesticides, its simply a lower acceptable limit. They are still very much present, you just standardize your product’s specs to be within that acceptable limit, and you get to write organic on the label.

      Can you clarify the certifying body you’re referring to when you say “certified organic”? My comment only pertains to the USDA Organic program, as that is the subject of the original post, and I linked the regulations which govern that program. Most of those regulations are not related to pesticide use and its residual levels.
