Regarding the use of copper (copper oxychloride or Bordeauax Mixture),
if fruit is sprayed with these, the fruit must be washed thoroughly
before processing.

Copper is a prooxidant ie assists oxidation of olive oil and rancidity

Copper is a metal contaminnt and there are prescribed levels in food
stuffs therefore important in processed table olives.
