Does trace pesticide residue in organic cashews mean the farming was done improperly?

No — trace residues often come from unintentional cross-contamination elsewhere in the supply chain, not from farming practices.

What is spray drift and why is it hard to prevent?

Spray drift happens when pesticides from nearby conventional farms are carried by wind onto organic orchards — something organic farmers can't fully control on neighbouring land.

How can transportation cause pesticide cross-contamination?

If trucks or containers previously carried treated agricultural products and aren't properly cleaned, trace residues can remain on interior surfaces.

How does Target Agriculture Group prevent contamination during storage?

By using Low Oxygen (Controlled Atmosphere) technology instead of chemical fumigation, avoiding residue risk while still controlling live insects.

Can packaging materials themselves cause contamination?

Yes — if packaging is stored near pesticides, cross-contaminated during transport, or made from raw materials with unverified chemical residues.
