However organic produce is still sprayed with pesticides

Not in Europe. Organic is by definition grown without use of artificial and harmful products like pesticides and herbicides.

Not in Europe

Nice goal post move attempt. They do use pesticides in Europe too though. You're just wrong. Now you're wrong twice, nice.

Pesticides are used in Europe, sure. But to be able to market a product as organic there are actually pretty extensive regulations

Copper sulfate is a natural pesticide. It's allowed in organic farming.

It's also more toxic than most artificial pesticides at its effective concentration. Make sure you rinse your organic produce thoroughly.

artificial

Key word here, they use natural pesticides. But still pesticides none-the-less.
