Does this apply to organic produce as well, or just conventional?
A little health tip for those in the US…
Don’t eat fruit or vegetables that are out of season. The FDA allows chemical gassing, preservatives, artificial coloring and flavoring to be injected without disclosure to the public.

Yes organic too. The organic certification is for the soil conditions being free of chemical pesticides, hormones, etc. They can still gas, inject, etc after harvesting.
Sigh.
As I understand it, "organic" is basically a BS distinction. Just lower thresholds for herbicides & pesticides which is not the same as none. And not everything is actually tested.
One of the many reasons why carnivore is a significantly better way to eat.
Correct its total bs with no testing measures in place. Organic does not mean chemical free.
