@hat small contamination there is in organic is there because of Big Ag, Big Chem & Big GMOs drooling-lip campaigns to profit wildly from GMO crapola nurtured by glyphosate crapola. They spread their corporate crapola all over the freaking place willy nilly. Glyphosate-GMO freaks thus pollute nearby clean fields and crops and waterways. This amounts to the slow, steady poisoning of the American people and landscape to profit a few (republican family values in action). Gag me.
