Do i need to disinfect my refrigerator if i buy organic fruit and veggies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Why? What do organic vegetables have to do with that? If you grow veggies in your back yard, do you disinfect your fridge then? Just wash them as any other veggies. The non-organic veggies are coated with pesticides and some herbicides (for weeds), not anti-bacterials. Organic veggies have none of that.
