GREEN BEANS
KEY FINDINGS OF THE 2017 DIRTY DOZEN REPORT
-
More than 98 percent of samples of strawberries, spinach, peaches, nectarines, cherries and apples tested positive for residue of at least one pesticide.
-
A single sample of strawberries showed 20 different pesticides.
-
Spinach samples had, on average, twice as much pesticide residue by weight than any other crop.
-
Avocados and sweet corn were the cleanest: only 1 percent of samples showed any detectable pesticides. (Note: GMO Corn is sold in some areas, choose organic or know your farmer to avoid that.)
-
More than 80 percent of pineapples, papayas, asparagus, onions and cabbage had no pesticide residues. (Note: Some papayas are GMOs. Choose organic to avoid that.)
-
No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four types of pesticides.
