"Organic" or "organically grown" foods are commonly represented as "food grown without pesticides; grown without artificial fertilizers; grown in soil whose humus content is increased by the additions of organic matter; grown in soil whose mineral content is increased with applications of natural mineral fertilizers; has not been treated with preservatives, hormones, antibiotics etc." The substitution of "organic" for "chemical" fertilizers during the growth of plants produces no change in the nutritional or chemical properties of foods. All foods are made of "chemicals." Traces of pesticides have been reported to be present in about 20 to 30% of both "organic" and conventional foods. These traces are usually within the official tolerance levels. Such levels are set low enough to protect consumers adequately. Indeed, there is no record of a single case of injury to a consumer resulting from the application of pesticides to food crops at permitted levels.
“有机”或“有机种植”的食品通常被描述为“不使用农药种植；不使用人工化肥种植；种植于通过添加有机物质而增加腐殖质含量的土壤中；种植于通过施用天然矿物肥料而增加矿物质含量的土壤中；未经过防腐剂、激素、抗生素等处理”。在植物生长过程中用“有机”肥料替代“化学”肥料，并不会改变食品的营养或化学性质。所有食品都是由“化学物质”构成的。据报道，约20%至30%的“有机”食品和传统食品中都含有微量农药。这些微量农药通常在官方规定的耐受水平之内。设定的这些水平足够低，以充分保护消费者。事实上，没有任何记录表明因按照允许水平在粮食作物上施用农药而导致消费者受到伤害的案例。
