Is it safe to eat the skin off of organic fruit?!


Question: Is it safe to eat the skin off of organic fruit? (example: an organic apple)
I've heard the answer 'yes,' and I've heard the answer 'no.'
Anyone have their own opinion, or, better yet, based on facts?

Thank you!

Absolutely safe. If you have any doubts simply wash the fruit before eating.

The claims of organic having more e-coli contamination than conventionally raised produce is completely false. This is based on an article by Dennis Avery where he made up CDC data in order to support his claim.

It is a common misconception that organic food could be at greater risk of E. coli contamination because of raw manures application. Conventional farmers commonly apply tons of raw manure as well with no regulation whatsoever.

? Organic standards set strict guidelines on manure use in organic farming: either it must be first composted, or it must be applied at least 90 days before harvest, which allows ample time for microbial breakdown of any pathogens.

yes it is safe to eat the skin off of organic fruits

or if u are still in doubt then u can search on any health website
