The Food Standards Agency conducted a large independent review & concluded that there is little difference in nutritional value and no evidence of any extra health benefits from eating organic produce.
Gill Fine, FSA director of consumer choice and dietary health, said: “Ensuring people have accurate information is absolutely essential in allowing us all to make informed choices about the food we eat.
“This study does not mean that people should not eat organic food.
“What it shows is that there is little, if any, nutritional difference between organic and conventionally produced food and that there is no evidence of additional health benefits from eating organic food.”
She added that the FSA was neither pro nor anti organic food and recognised there were many reasons why people choose to eat organic, including animal welfare or environmental concerns.
Dr Dangour, said: “Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority.”
He added that better quality studies were needed.
However, the Soil Association criticised the study and called for better research -
Peter Melchett, policy director at the Soil Association said they were disappointed with the conclusions.
“The review rejected almost all of the existing studies of comparisons between organic and non-organic nutritional differences.
“Although the researchers say that the differences between organic and non-organic food are not ‘important’, due to the relatively few studies, they report in their analysis that there are higher levels of beneficial nutrients in organic compared to non-organic foods.
“Without large-scale, longitudinal research it is difficult to come to far-reaching clear conclusions on this, which was acknowledged by the authors of the FSA review.
“Also, there is not sufficient research on the long-term effects of pesticides on human health,” he added.

Welcome to The Green Directory.
The Green Directory is our attempt to bring together ALL the Green products & services that you can find in the UK.
This includes eco-stores, mobile phone recycling, green energy & any website or service that we feel benefits the environment & protects the fragile eco-system that we all rely on!
The aim of The Green Directory is not to shove the “green issue” down anyones throat. We just want to show you that there are environmentally friendly ways of doing the things that we all do – where people can buy & do the things they want to do, but in a cleaner, greener way, whether that be finding a gift for Mum, getting rid of that old phone in your drawer, getting your homes’ energy from renewable sources, or looking for the most environmentally friendly way to travel.
As the Green Directory grows, we’d also like contributions from YOU! If you know of a service or product that you think is fantastically green then let us know & we’ll see if we can get it added. This includes any recycling facilities in your area, local shops & companies that operate in environmentally aware ways! We also welcome reviews of particular products, so if you want to write in praise of something, or to let others know if something is a scam, then we would like to hear from you.
So, if you know about the different projects and people in your area who are working for a cleaner, greener planet, then share it with others who may be completely unaware what is on their doorstep!
We would also like to pass on useful tips and advice that we find which might give some food for thought. Hopefully there will be some light articles in amongst the more serious issues that we & the planet face.
We hope you enjoy the site but if there’s something not to your liking, please let us know. If you have any green tips to pass on, or amusing stuff to brighten up our lives (“green” related amusing video clips for example), local items of interest, people who are trying to make a difference, new schemes and ventures,then let us know that too.
