🚨 The 2026 (dirty) Dirty Dozen list is here‼️
…a list of fruits and veggies you’ve now been scared into buying organic because their conventional counterparts are covered in pesticides, supposedly…
So, what’s the dirt on this Dirty Dozen list?!
•
FYI, the fear-based messaging perpetuated by the Dirty Dozen list can (and does) dissuade people from buying and eating produce altogether. One study found that low-income consumers were less likely to buy ANY produce (organic or conventional) when they heard inaccurate messaging about pesticide residues and the DD list. Another study noted that some participants believed health issues including cancer & weight gain can arise from consuming nonorganic foods 😢 Not cool, not cool!

This is not meant as an anti-organic post—if you prefer organic produce and have the budget to buy it, then go for it! But you can rest-assured that all produce, whether conventional or organic, in any form (fresh, frozen, canned) is safe and nutritious.
