    Your list of "do not feed" is right on the money. To include animal products such as meats, milk products, egg products, dog food, cat food and fish flakes.

    All vegetables must be washed regardless if they are organic or not. Of course organic is always the better choice, even organic can have pesticides on them.
    Lettuces and cabbages are mostly water where i'm at and that's why nobody feeds those here. They also sog quickly causing foul odors in mealie/superworm containers due to our naturally high temp and humidity. Forgot to take into consideration the varying degrees of nutritional levels and safety concerns of most plants when it comes to what country and what type of soil it is planted as some crops grow better and healthier in some countries

    My rule is to feed my feeder insects like I would feed myself. I eat organic when I can so my insects get organic, they will eat scraps I would typically not eat. If one cannot get pesticide and chemical free produce one can look at a list of clean produce that is not organic and buy from that list. 85-90% of ones produce can be not organic and they can still avoid the lionshare of toxins. Certain produce the 5-10% should always be organic or not eaten.

    My reptiles, amphibians and pets are important so their health is as important as mine.
