"Organic means better" is the embarrassing and misleading talking point here though, not being against having toxic chemicals in our food sold as "organic". I don't want added copper compounds and residue in my food, and copper sulfate used in organic farming empirically does that.

I see a theoretical risk but not a practical problem here. At best you've identified a place where the regulations might need tightening.
