⚠ The EWG uses USDA and FDA data to determine the amount of pesticides in produce. Then, as part of its “Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” the EWG then publishes a list of the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and the 15 with the least amount of contaminants.

The lists, which have been published and updated every year since 2004, are intended to help consumers prioritize which foods to buy organic to avoid pesticides and which foods can be bought at nonorganic prices with less pesticide risk.

The EWG says, “Conventional agriculture continues to use large quantities of toxic pesticides. As a result, USDA researchers detect pesticide residues on many of the fruits and vegetables they test. That’s why EWG updates our Shopper’s Guide each year.”

Although these lists contain only 27 produce items combined, the EWG includes the pesticide content of 46 items in total and offers guidance, so you can further tweak your grocery list accordingly.

The data is based on nearly 45,000 food samples tested after the produce has been washed and, when necessary, peeled.
