I wonder if those fruit and vegetable detergent works? Nowadays, I soaked my veggies for quite awhile before cooking them.
I'm not a food toxicology expert and I can't answer your question.
What I do is buy organic food as much as possible. If I can't find a fruit or vegetable that is organic, I usually soak and rinse them with water thoroughly before cooking. Detergents contain carcinogenic chemical called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and I won't use detergents to wash my non-organic fruits and vegetables.
Read the article linked below to learn about the risk of exposing to too much SLS.
