Show Notes
The Environmental Working Groups 2026 Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce features the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists. The Dirty Dozen, including spinach, strawberries, and apples, showed high pesticide residues, while the Clean Fifteen, like pineapples and avocados, had low residues. A major concern is fludioxonil, a PFAS-based fungicide found in 14% of samples, particularly in peaches and plums. Experts recommend washing produce thoroughly, choosing organic for the Dirty Dozen, and opting for regular versions of the Clean Fifteen.
