OR
maybe since those chemicals are used by the people who do this for a living you might be adding some WANTED chemicals to your garden ROFL
But seriously, this question about food waste contaminating compost can be answered by googleing "half life pesticides".
Find your pesticide (say Dimethoate to kill fruit flies) find the half life in soil, realize the only thing being contaminated is YOU for eating the fruit.
