The USDA prohibits food manufacturers from labeling foods as 'organic' if the foods conttain antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, irradiation or genetic modification

pesticides, irradiation or genetic modification

pesticides, irradiation or anything that has been genetically modified

and pesticides, or if they have been irradiated or genetically modified

or pesticides, or if they have been irradiated or genetically modified

or pesticides, and anything that has been irradiated or genetically modified

OA later

[this_time_i_will]

should be D

Why not E?

Btw...just saw your blog. Liked the caption 'once the game is over the king and the pawn go back into the same'

should be D

[hitmis]

imo D

E would be right if it mant to say that the food contained either antibiotics, hormones or pesticides and in addition the food was irradiated or genetically modified.

Here it means to say its or of all clause and no ands anywhere.

Almost reminds me of Venn diagrams,

Whats the OA?

OA is indeed D

Just a small point on the bold part.

E would still have been wrong.

E says that -

The USDA prohibits food manufacturers from labeling foods as 'organic' if the foods contains -
1) antibiotics, hormones or pesticides
AND
2) anything that has been irradiated or genetically modified

This suggests that the prohibition would occur not when the food is irradiated or genetically modified. but when the food contains anything that has been irradiated or genetically modified.

So, even with an or, E would have been wrong.

Basic idea ..........logic dictates that all should be "or" since anything on its won can make the food non-USDA approved or whatever it is .........

Totally agree. My point was that even with an or, E is incorrect.
