Soil Association are carrying out detailed research into pesticides
commonly encountered in non-organic fruit and vegetables.

That's strange. To arrive at a balanced view, they also ought to carry out
detailed research into pesticides encountered in _organic_ fruit &
vegetables, too.

S.A. are doing that in respect of four pesticides which are allowable
for conversion and/or crisis purposes - what HDRA call 'qualified
approval'. Such produce cannot be sold for public consumption as
organic. The aim is to phase out their use completely and the current
research is designed to speed up that process.
