I’m assuming there is different list for different countries? Are these “dirty 12” a good representation in the US? If not, anyone can point me to a list similar but for the US?
- clairity 5y agothe dirty dozen concept seems global at this point. i've referred people to this list by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), though i don't know that it's better than any other: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php note that the recommendation for these produce items is to buy organic. there's a complementary list (clean fifteen) of the least polluted produce, for which buying regular is fine: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/clean-fifteen.php https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/clean-fifteen.php

- clairity 5y agoyes, it's not an independent body, but one of many from which to triangulate a reasonable position. hopefully it was an obviously neutral recommendation.
