About six months ago the state of California approved the use of Methyl Iodide in their agriculture. California produces of 80% of the nations strawberries. Please buy organic strawberries. Methyl Iodide is used in labs to create experimental cancer cells. Next time you buy strawberries take a look at where they come from. If the box says CA make sure you buy organic and if they don't have organic buy another fruit.
To date, no commercial applications of methyl iodide have taken place in California to treat soils where strawberries may be grown.
ReplyDeleteIn over 30 years of testing, there has never been a detection by EPA, USDA, or USFDA of any residue of methyl iodide or any other soil foundation treatment found in fruit, despite hundreds of thousands of tests.
Your posting is unnecessarily scaring consumers about a hazard that does not exist.
