Dirty dozen - foods to avoid



A new version of the Dirty Dozen is published citing the crops to avoid for pesticide residues. Another boost for the organic sector. So much for all those plump sweet smelling peaches in my local market in the summer.

Would also be good to have an idea on workers's exposure to chemicals. Cotton is particularly intensive in its use of pesticides and is not listed here as it is a food crop.

Organic apples from now (and everything else). Useful site that I will pass on.
