SAF Baby (Safe Alternatives For Baby and Child) and Eco Child’s Play have both reported on a new web site called What’s In My Food. This site has been created by the a non-profit group, Pesticide Action Network.
What’s In My Food is a searchable database that allows you to see residue data from pesticides on food and information about each of the chemicals. You can check a list of 89 foods or search by pesticide name.
The Environmental Working Group has just updated their Dirty Dozen list. This list shows you which produce to buy organic, and which conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables are okay if organic isn’t available. Go on over, download it, and keep it handy in your wallet for when you’re out food shopping.
