Non-Organic Raisins are the Dirtiest Produce Commodity, Says 2020 “Dirty Dozen” Data
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has once again released their annual list of the “dirtiest” and “cleanest” fruits and vegetables available to U.S. consumers.
EWG’s analysis is drawn from data provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Pesticide Data Program. The Department does wash, peel, and scrub, each produce item prior to pesticide testing. Since pesticide contamination varies by crop, it is important to understand which items are most or least contaminated.
