The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has published its Dirty Dozen list for 2024, describing the 12 fruits and vegetables most contaminated with pesticide residues, based on analysis of testing data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Alongside the Dirty Dozen, EWG also published its Clean Fifteen list, which contains the 15 commodities with the lowest amounts of pesticide residue.
Data used for the 2024 guide was drawn from 47,510 samples of 46 fruits and vegetables.
