Thank you for flagging that up Beesontoast. I did see the original article in the Observer and didn't think the Journalist was setting out to be sensational. I don't think it is just a matter of not using it on susceptible vegetables. That stuff is going into the food chain at every level.
I was planning on getting a load of manure for my veg beds but I'll have to do some research first.
