I just went out and bought some organic food from the grocery store for my tortoise, is there any pesticides or anything like that I should look for?

Organic food should be fine, however it's better to include variety of weeds in his diet too.

is it certified organic? Lots of things can say organic but not necessarily are organic

I've been feeding mostly grocery store/farmers market produce while my newly planted tortoise garden is getting established. That will be the only safe site in my vicinity since we live in a subdivision where all common grounds get spayed with chemicals. I planted bunch of great weeds and tortoise edibles in the organic garden plot which became my RF enclosure. As for the store bought produce I believe there's nothing wrong with it, just give it a good wash prior to feeding, just in case
