I don't know the specifics in this case, but I do know in Mexico, growers fertilize with sludge. Sludge is mostly sewage waste. It's sprayed in the air over the fields and the waste lands on the produce. It was done in the US in the 70's, I know for sure. I don't know if it's still done here now.
Quoting: Texan Buckeye Thanks, that would explain it. In Germany fertilizing vegetables and fruits with sludge is forbidden since about 20 years. That sounds so gross! As I'm typing this, my son is reading to me that most articles he is reading are pointing to contaminated water as the source.
