Can I claim that my product is free from pesticides / no pesticides / pesticides free / no pesticides used?

Updated by SFA
The Food Regulations do not specify criteria for the use of claims to suggest that a food is free from pesticides. In general, the Food Regulations prohibits the use of claims that are false and misleading. In view of the above, food businesses who intend to claim that their food is free from pesticides, must ensure that the claim is truthful, where no pesticides are used throughout the farming process of the produce; and that pesticides are not detected in the food.
