It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn't healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, "we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them".
The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.
