The Necessary Foods to Always Buy Organic (And The Top Foods Not To)

Seafood: Not Organic

Considering the USDA does not currently provide organic standards regarding fish and other types of seafood, any seafood that is labeled ‘organic’ is probably lying to you and may not be any safer for you and your family. Some ‘organic’ seafood may still contain various contaminants, such as PCBs and mercury. Since this is one food you cannot buy organic and don’t have to, look for seafood that is low in mercury, such as tilapia, sole, and oysters, and ensure all the seafood you purchase was caught using sustainable practices. Check the Seafood Watch before purchasing fish and seafood, to again, ensure you are not destroying the oceans.
