It only means that products are cultivated using organic farming methods. An example has already occurred in which a both Taco Bell and several grocery chains had to recall tacos and other products containing traces of a genetically engineered corn that has not been approved for human consumption. The problem is that plants reproduce by pollination, a process in which tiny particles of pollen can be carried many miles by insects, animals, or the wind. Thus, a field of genetically engineered corn to be used only for animal feed may fertilize a field growing only organic corn that is many miles away. Organically grown products are not necessarily better or safer than regular products.
Food is currently safer than any time in history.
Nonorganic methods such as irradiation have proved extremely safe and valuable in neutralizing bacteria. Pasteurization of milk and juices has proved invaluable in virtually eliminating life threatening bacterial illnesses from these products. Legitimate concerns have been expressed regarding the use of human sewage to fertilize fields. Much of the concern involves possible presence of human bacteria and viruses in such sludge. Although the highest level of treatment processing should inactivate pathogens such sludge is more expensive.
