Are the apples organic? I ask because apples are on the list for pesticide contamination known as the 12 dirtiest foods

Then you shouldn't give your pup Apple. There are other flavors your pup might like better, like Blue berry-

Chuckmac, if I remember correctly, their direct web-site states they DO NOT! However, I would go to their site and call their toll free number or, send them an email. I did a LOT of research before ordering their blueberries and cherries. Worth every penny!!!!! As far as I can recall, there are no pesticides used. Product is out of Michigan and is wonderful. Contact them regarding the pesticide question; that way, you will know for sure and hear it directly from them!! Enjoy!!

Did you know that less than .10% of ALL "organic" products that come into the US are actually tested???? We are Certified Organic growers in the US and have researched this and spoken with many who deal with "outside" organic products. BUY made in the US!! :o)

Great question....... Typically we try to go the "Organic" route on most of our foods as well.......but if you did your homework you will see the the gov't owns the rights to the term "organic" as far as store bought foods is concerned, so how honest are they really being is the question? Now, why I continue to buy this product is that fact that they are oats off of a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) farm, which to me, goes farther than putting an "organic" label on something. Not sure I fully answered your question, but I am up to this point still a strong advocate of Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Especially good with Raw unpasteurized honey and raw/organic cinnamon!

That's a good question Guy, I, perhaps naively, assumed that it wouldn't be, because of it's organic status. Maybe you should call the company. I was not aware of this horrid practice!

Yes, but we do carry Organic Apple Rings that do not have any preservatives.~

Even certified organic products can, and often do contain dangerous heavy metals like lead. See here: http://www.lowheavymetalsverified.org/ Or here: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/whistleblower-who-found-poison-americas-food Or do a Google search for something like, "heavy metals in organic food" The problem is that heavy metal levels in food aren't regulated by either the FDA or the USDA. USDA organic certification doesn't include heavy metals certification or regulation. That isn't to say that non-organic products are any better. Also since a warning on the label is completely voluntary, I wouldn't equate the lack of a warning about lead to mean that it has any safer lead levels than products that contain a warning. On another Dr Oz clip which I cannot find on the internet, it was said that IN GENERAL, organic products grown in Canada and California are less likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than those that come from Asia. It's not about the organic certification being untrustworthy because the certification doesn't include heavy metal certification, it's more about how likely the land is to be contaminated with heavy metals in the first place. Land is contaminated through gasoline (the gasoline industry spread lead on most of the world's soil through leaded gasoline), batteries that everyone throws in the trash, paint that ends up dumped out or in trash, or painted surfaces leaching, etc. Heavy metals leach into the soil, then end up in water then migrate far and wide. That's why I think Canadian products are least likely to be contaminated. I reason that all that Canadian wilderness helps Canada in this regard. If there is a choice, I always buy Canadian Organic products now. Also they regulate heavy metals. Next choice, California, last choice Asi

Well, I'm annoyed. Bob's Red Mill popcorn came up in my search in Amazon for "organic popcorn." But there is nothing in the listing or the label to indicate that it is organic. And a search on Bob's Red Mill site brings up 3 pages of organic items but not this popcorn. This looks like a mistake on Amazon's part in how it was categorized. I may ask for a refund and I hope this note sets the record straight.

Hi Connie, I want to believe Now Food products are of the grocery category, so majorly organic. They could contain preservatives, but probably in very minute and safe percentages.

No, but even if it was organic, that's like caring whether or not cow dung or tuna casserole mixed with chocolate is organic. It's still garbage you should't pay to put in your body

The packaging indicates that it is all natural, pesticide free and GMO free. Pesticides more than fertilizers are typically the issue with fruit trees.

They are not Organic. However, the purity of Oats makes the difference. I personally do not feel because Organic is shown: it is any better for you And it costs way too much. G.F. is the "Key".

Absolutely ! Have had organics in crisper with an apple and they lasted almost a week. Be sure to get firm berries to start. Don't wash till time to eat. Apple has saved me tons of $ on fresh fruits and vegs

Not sure. I do know it is all natural and organic. But that's a question to ask the farmers.

No, they are not labeled organic. They are completely free of any preservative-the old fashioned shriveled up dried raisin. I am very sulfite and preservative sensitive and I do not react to these raisins. I hope this helps you.

If a product is certified organic it cannot be made with products that have been treated with toxic pesticides or chemicals as well as many other important factors. Google "what is certified organic" organic is a little more expensive but it is the healthier option

I'm looking at the jar. It's non-gmo verified. It does not specifically "pesticide free" or "organic".
