It's safe to use on food crops, and is an effective and versatile fungicide.

I can't see the point of drowning everything in fungicide when it doesn't need it - Dithane 45 is an effective preventative for alternaria and late blight (phytopthera infection) in potatoes, but these are not problems that any of the fruits you mention suffer from.
