Tainted Fruit - Watch Out For This Hidden Ingredient

Heather Callaghan

Case reveals possible allergy to this hidden fruit and veggie residue.

A 10-year-old girl has a history of asthma, seasonal allergies and anaphylaxis when exposed to cow's milk or penicillin.

One bout of anaphylactic shock later, led allergist researchers to dig deeper for the trigger ingredient.

What they found concerns us all, and you'll never find it on a label. And not it's not just pesticides.

More Creepy Than GMO, Nanotech Organic?

Think Forward

The idea that engineered nanomaterials (involving the manipulation of materials at the molecular level) would be allowed in certified organic food production seems ludicrous on its face. Allowing nanotechnology would seemingly destroy the credibility of the organic label with consumers. Yet, the National Organic Standards Board Materials Committee issued a proposal for public comment recently requesting that the USDA's National Organic Program hold a symposium on whether nanotechnology in organic production is "possible, practical and legal."

In a comment to the National Organic Standards Board sent earlier this week, IATP's Steve Suppan takes issue with the assumption that federal regulators can effectively regulate engineered nanomaterials in food production—meaning, any kind of food production, organic or not. The nanotech industry has been reluctant to submit product data on the environmental, safety and health effects of nanomaterials in food production. Currently, there are no requirements that the industry submit such data before nanoproducts enter the market. And in fact, according to anexplosive report from AOL News earlier this year, they already have already entered the marketplace without regulatory oversight.
