Organishield™, containing sucrose octanoate esters, is an organic pesticide that is reported to control soft-bodied insect mites, ticks, aphids, and caterpillars on food and non-food crops and livestock. Since 1983, the FDA has approved sucrose esters being added to processed foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, thus no harmful effects to humans or the environment from the use of sucrose esters in insecticide products. The active ingredients of Organishield™ degrade into harmless substances (sucrose, fatty acids, water, and CO2). These are safe for the environment, animals, and water supplies.
