Do these dried blueberries contain pesticides?

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!!

These have no pesticides and should work superbly for your animals. I use it for both of my tarantulas as well as my Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches (they breed with this) and mealworm colony, and I also use this for all of my reptiles

The only info I have been able to find on the ingredients is "Bed Bug Patrol is the easy-to-use way to kill bed bug adults, larvae, & eggs. This product is a 100% natural non-pesticide, so it is safe to use around children and pets. Contains no carcinogens such as permethrin and pyrethrin found in many bed bug treatments. Bed Bug Patrol is not EPA-registered because it contains only 100% EPA exempt ingredients*. 100% natural plant extracts of Euginia Carophylla, Mentha Piperita, and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate from Coconut Extract.

Yes, this product has an active ingredient of Imidacloprid, which belongs to the neonicotinoid class of pesticides that research has shown is very likely harming the bees. From the EPA site:"Data suggest that neonicotinic residues can accumulate in pollen and nectar of treated plants and may represent a potential exposure to pollinators. Adverse effects data as well as beekill incidents have also been reported, highlighting the potential direct and/or indirect effects of neonicotinic pesticides." Per the product label, 'Do not apply until after trees have flowered or when bees are actively foraging.' I looked this product up on do my own pest control website as Amazon doesn't have the ingredients or manufacturers label visible, at least that I could find. I personally will continue looking for another product for my home orchard, but encourage others to research various pest control options and decide for themselves.

I do not believe these products are considered organic, it depends on your state agriculture guidelines. They are pesticide free!

I am not aware of the blueberries that come with boxed mixes but the blueberries that come in the can are just a shade smaller that what is bought in the store. I have been buying the canned blueberries for years and am very pleased with size and taste. Hope this is helpful

Everything in the universe is made from chemicals, including me, you, and neem oil. So yes, there are chemical pesticides in this product.

I have not used them yet, but from what I hear is that they are whole blueberries. I also purchased the military T-Rations (tray packs) of blueberry desert and heard these are chock full of berries and great on ice cream or in pancakes.

This might be a factor if they were alive but since they are dried it is not a problem. I just shake some into my feeder every evening and the bluebirds are waiting for them.

One thing to note about quinoa is that the saponin, the bitter residue that needs to be rinsed off of quinoa (this product says it is pre-washed), is a natural pest repellent. So it is likely that pesticides are not needed in the harvesting of quinoa, organic or not. The label organic refers to a product that meets certain criteria in the harvesting and production... but it is not always necessary... for example there is no benefit to organic bananas and avocados over their conventionally grown counterparts. I cannot say for sure if this is the same with quinoa, but given the natural saponin, it's probably a good bet that conventionally grown quinoa is safe.

I don't believe they are. I hope they don't because I don't use pesticides. The package doesn't have the ingredients listed. It does say it is an earth friendly product. Their website is seabrightlabs.com I love them and they help a lot in the garden.

As long as where they are harvested the area is pesticide free which I am sure it is. I have a collection of poison dart frogs and have a 100gallon paludarium with all kinds of lichens/mosses in it.

Yes it does. In their site in the ingredients list they list as one of the ingredients "Non-GMO Corn Maltodextrin as a drying medium". The other ingredient is Acerola cherry extract.

No strawberries or pineapple. The only certified fruit powders are, Blueberry, Plum, Cranberry, Raspberry, Tart cherry, Concord grape. This product is awesome and have truly seen an improvement with my pH balance program.

We tried raising mealworms for Bluebirds, and fed ours primarily on carrots, & sweet potatoes. It was going pretty well, but became a challenge to change out the bedding while keeping the eggs and small worms, and I didn't care to take the time to develop a better way. The Bluebirds are fine with freeze dried worms, and so am I. I've actually been tempted to try a dried worm, they don't smell bad, but haven't worked up the courage yet.

Jay, the most complete way to answer your question is to write exactly what is written on the package. it reads, ingredients; wild blueberries, sugar, sunflower oil. hope this information is helpful. as a side note, they're pretty good and will probably buy again if i can't find organic.

I checked my package carefully and it does not say. I checked the website for Barry Farms and they say they use no chemicals. I think your assumption is a fair one. I like their products and will continue to order from them.
