HAHAHAHAHA nah I think it's meant for grass mostly. If I remember correctly there's a warning against using it for fruit trees. Heavy metals.

I'm not sure about "activated sewage sludge" but I recently read the Milorganite label and they claim that it's perfectly safe for fruits and vegetables.

See this link:

http://www.milorganite.com/home/faqs.cfm#5

In it they explain the issues of pet ingestion, food plant fertilizing, heavy metals and more.

Now I don't use the stuff, but it's a good read.

Kellogg's supposedly uses composted sewage sludge. I don't plan to purchase products from them.

Public sewers are the EPA favored disposal site for toxic industrial wastes. Industrial pretreatment has fallen by the wayside in pursuit of jobs over the environment.

In 2007, tons of Milwaukee sewage sludge "Milorganite" had to be scraped off 30 public parks and disposed in EPA licensed hazardous waste landfill because of toxic levels of carcinogenic PCBs (polychloride biphenyl ethers). In 2008 and 2009 Milwaukee had more problems with high levels of PCBs in their sludge biosolids.

In 2010, high levels of toxic lead (1100 parts per million) in the Milwaukee sludge biosolids spread on Kenosha, Wisconsin, farm fields greatly exceeded the EPA limit of 300 ppm in Class A EQ sludge biosolids.

Sewage sludge Milorganite is a dangerous "fertilizer" which should not be used on home gardens or public parks and playgrounds where children and pets are exposed.
Class A sewage sludge biosolids has caused many incidents of illness:

OK. I'm sticking to good old fashioned compost :-)
