"The recall was initiated on March 12 with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the investigation is ongoing," added Simply Recipe to the conversation about the recall.

Simply Recipes reported that some farmers simply cannot avoid pesticide residues because they are everywhere now in the environment, even in areas where safe agricultural practices are being followed. "The FDA sets an 'action level' for these unavoidable pesticides," Simply Recipes added. "If a product is found to have pesticide residue above the action level, it is deemed unsafe to consume and is recalled." "Neither the FDA nor the East West Tea Company has revealed the type and amount of pesticide chemicals that were found on the recalled tea product." If you currently have an affected tea bag lot, please discard it or return it to the place where you purchased it for a full refund. "So after paying a premium price for 'organic tea,' it's recalled because 'pesticide residues were detected above action levels,'" one commenter wrote about the irony of this. "I thought people were paying for chemical-free tea? 'Organic' anything might be a rip-off because you never really know what you are getting while paying through the nose for that experience." Another wrote that the United States today is so polluted that it probably makes no difference, unless it comes from a very small, remote farm, buying domestically-grown or raised "organic" food – but it is still probably a better bet than conventional, just to be clear. "If this is happening in tea, it is happening to lots of other things," wrote another about pesticide and herbicide contamination in the food supply. "The use of 'organic' today is basically the same as Bill Clinton's statement 'It depends on what the meaning of the word is is," joked another.
