Tell Ocean Spray: No Organics Is Not an Option


Tell Ocean Spray: No Organics Is Not an Option
The Issue
Cranberries are a holiday treat that are good and good for you. But when grown commercially, cranberries are often doused in various pesticides. The Pesticide Action Network found 13 different pesticides on cranberries, some of which were neurotoxins and known carcinogens. Plus, cranberry bogs frequently discharge pesticide-laden water to nearby waterways.
Consumers should have an organic choice. Ocean Spray cranberry growers comprise more than half of the cranberry market, yet the Ocean Spray brand fails to offer a single, organic product.
