We have no idea if most organic products are safe
1; Hyper-local supply chain is subject to a different type of accountability.
2; Organic products are a choice, nobody is forcing people to consume them or not.
therefore are never tested
Point being: testing only catches these things after they're in the wild, usually spread across several states. For all the emphasis on "certified-facility-permit-license-inspection", I would expect contaminated products not to leave the factory. Especially since the compliance costs are passed along to me, the consumer.
