The EPA doesn’t mandate it so it can’t be added.

I've always washed my vegetables with a little soapy water because people have know that some farms have always cheated and used non FDA approved pesticides. Sadly you can't trust anyone anymore. A Democratic president will executive order this away, but the SC must be expanded as well.
