Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases a report ranking pesticide residue levels of fruits and vegetables based on samples taken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration. This report is designed to help consumers make healthy and informed choices and reduce their exposure to toxic pesticides.
The report includes a list of the “Clean Fifteen,” highlighting the “cleanest” produce. Avocados and sweet corn continue to top the list. In addition to the Clean Fifteen, the EWG publishes a list known as the “Dirty Dozen.”
