Organic Summer Produce Shopping List

When possible choose certified organic. Organic is the most heavily regulated food system in the U.S. Only organic guarantees no toxic persistent pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or GMOs are used in production.

Our allies at EWG have an updated 2022 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ to help you navigate away from the dirty dozen and towards the clean fifteen when organic is not available. When you buy organic food, textiles, and household products you protect your family from 700+ chemicals used in conventional farming and manufacturing.
