Fall is here, friend,

As the weather changes and your favorite fall produce starts to hit store shelves, it’s important to remember to look out for toxic pesticide residues. From apples to pears and kale to spinach, EWG's Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ found more than 75% of non-organic produce contains harmful pesticide residues, even after thorough washing!

Shop smarter and avoid pesticides with EWG's Dirty Dozen™ list of fruits and vegetables. We recommend you buy organic when possible to reduce your exposure to toxic pesticides. Learn more:

Apples are an iconic part of fall, but 60% of apples contain diphenylamine, an EU-banned pesticide linked to cancer, putting apples in 9th place on EWG's Dirty Dozen list.

Although fresh produce is always best, many parents turn to dried fruit and fruit leathers for easy after-school snacks for kids. But EWG’s test results show dried fruit snacks contain worrying levels of pesticides. See the results here.

Tell Congress: Do NOT overturn local pesticide safety laws! Pesticide giants like Bayer-Monsanto are pressuring Congress to wipe out state and local laws designed to protect vulnerable populations such as children and farm workers. Add your name and tell Congress: Hands off local pesticide safety protections!

Leafy greens are in 3rd place on this year’s Dirty Dozen™ list. On average, samples of leafy greens had detectable levels of more than five different pesticides, with up to 21 different pesticides on a single sample.
