Pesticide residues are found on both organic and conventional produce. The USDA Pesticide Data Program testing does not distinguish between organic and conventional pesticides in their reporting. Although many people believe that "organic" means "no spray," in fact there are many substances registered for pest control on organic crops. And, many "conventional" farmers use some of these organically-certified materials, making them anything but "conventional" farmers!
