Sadly ‘organic’ in this context is not as ‘organic’ as most people think. It refers to a standard set by the Soil Association, or whatever agency in your countries, that set a limit of quantity and type to the allowed chemicals(pesticides) that can be used in crop production. Organic can still be bad for you, just not as poisonous as non organic. The are some producers out there that are 100% organic but no distinction is made on food labelling. The best way is to grow your own, but then you need to make sure your soil is safe from heavy metals and other toxins.~The next issue is that many cans are lined with a micro layer of soft plastic(BPA) to prevent corrosion from the acid in the product, this has also been shown to be significantly toxic… the moral here is to buy your beer in bottles. Hopefully the use an organic washing-up liquid for the bottles.~And just to put another wry spanner in the works, technically most pesticides are derived from organic material, even crude oil is organic.
