Dirty Dozen, Clean 15
From the Environmental Working Group (EWG) - 2013 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides Found in Fruits & Vegetables
Fruits & Vegetables Are Important For Health! The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is believed to outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. However, it is a good idea to reduce exposure to toxins if possible. The EWG’s Guide to Pesticides can help. The dirty dozen lists the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables on the market. The clean 15 lists the produce with the least contamination. You can lower your exposure to pesticides by avoiding or finding substitutes for the fruits & vegetables on the dirty dozen list or buy organic. If you can not afford organic, buy the fruits & vegetables on the clean 15 list.
There is no requirement that Genetically Modified Foods be labeled. The genetically modified crops likely to be found in produce aisles of American supermarkets are Hawaiian papaya, zucchini & some varieties of sweet corn. GMOs in corn & soy are more likely found in processed foods like tortillas, chips, corn syrup, & animal feed. If you want to avoid GMOs buy organic.
