    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Organic doesn’t mean it’s immune to contamination. Bacteria in soil or runoff water can get onto your fruits and vegetables – since they are in such close contact with the ground.

    Organic packaging does not mean 100% organic. - ProProfs

    Organic packaging does not mean 100% organic.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Don’t be tricked by clever packaging labels! There is a difference between “100% organic” and “organic” products. “Organic” label means 95%+ ingredients are organic, and if you encounter a “Made with organic ingredients” – expect around 70% organic.

    Organic food has less calories.

    • True

    • False

    Organic food is very expensive.  - ProProfs

    Organic food is very expensive. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Actually, the high cost is due to certification to cater to consumer demands for product standards – the general cost of production for organic is much lower than that of non-organic production (which receives subsidies from the government). If you’d like to find a cheaper alternative, try buying them from local markets or farms instead of supermarkets!

    Organic food typically tastes the same as nonorganic. - ProProfs

    Organic food typically tastes the same as nonorganic.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Nobody has been able to tell the difference except in cases of apples and berries. Obviously, food that is in season and locally grown is going to taste better than food that is being flown in a box across the globe – organic or nonorganic.

    Organic food is always better for you. - ProProfs

    Organic food is always better for you.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Sorry, but just because chips, soda or cookies are “organic” doesn’t make them healthy. After all, cane sugar still contains sugar, and chips still get fried, no matter what sort of fertilizer was used to grow the potatoes.

    Organic products are better for the skin. - ProProfs

    Organic products are better for the skin.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Not necessarily. Although organic food is more nutritious for your body, organic skin care products have a comparatively short shelf-life and may be harm the skin if expired. Others may contain fruit extracts which may cause skin irritations. So, do some research before purchasing!
