Environmental Working Group's 2014 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™
Two-thirds of produce samples in recent government tests had pesticide residues. Don't want to eat bug- and weed-killers? EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Producehelps you shop smart. We highlight the cleanest and dirtiest conventionally-raised fruits and vegetables. If a conventionally grown food you want tests high for pesticides, go for the organic version instead. And remember - the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh risks of pesticide exposure. Dirty Dozen™ Plushighlights hot peppers and leafy greens - kale and collard greens - often tainted with unusually hazardous pesticides.
