Direct answer
What does the list mean?
EWG examined U.S. Department of Agriculture results for 54,344 samples across 47 produce items, considering pesticide frequency, diversity, intensity and toxicity. The ranking is a prioritization guide intended to help consumers make more informed shopping and washing choices.
What can you do today?
Eat a varied diet
Choose a range of seasonal fruit and vegetables rather than relying on a single item.
Wash under running water
Rinse produce thoroughly under clean running water before eating or preparing it.
Ask about the source
When possible, ask about production methods, testing information and traceability.
