Swiggy — Certified organic items smelled strongly of chemicals upon delivery

Address: Bengaluru

Hello, I ordered some certified organic coconuts and vegetables last night for delivery. When I received them, the bag smelled strongly of chemicals, especially the coconuts. I contacted one of the farms who supplied one of the coconuts in the order (the other 3 were from a different certified organic farm) and they confirmed they don't spray their produce, per the certification standard.

I'm wondering if they were sprayed with a pesticide or fungicide while in storage or transit, as the smell was very strong and freshly applied and gave me a headache. I've never smelled that even on non organic items in the grocery store, so I wanted to find out what is happening. I put the items separately and plan to return them or dispose of them as the smell is still quite strong 24 hours later.

Your help is much appreciated!
