More broadly, there's been a push for other similar chemicals (such as malathion) what we in the biz call "step killers" - it kills the bug, and the bird that eats the bug, and the cat that eats the bird, and the dog that eats the cat, and maybe the man who orders the "orange chicken" at the chinese buffet which is made from dog.
So rest easy, there isn't any DDT in your food.
(good god, it really fucked up brown pelicans btw)
