Apples, Cilantro and Mushrooms, Oh My!

Apples are now at the top of the Dirty Dozen as the fruit or veggie highest in pesticides. Buy ORGANIC apples, if possible.

And for the first time, cilantro is also on the list. Testing by federal scientists found 33 unapproved pesticides on 44% of the cilantro samples tested -- the highest percentage of unapproved pesticides recorded on any item since EWG started tracking the data in 1995.  

Mushrooms also make their first appearance on the Shopper's Guide as part of the Clean 15.
