What is safe to eat? Here you will find the pesticide risk level for each fruit and vegetable

After reviewing the results of thousands of tests on fruits and vegetables, Consumer Reports has found unhealthy levels of pesticides in about 20% of U.S. produce.

This chart shows, in alphabetical order, the risk of pesticides in conventional and organic produce, as well as whether the fruits and vegetables are domestically grown or imported. Consumer Reports β€œrecommends those rated as very low, low or moderate risk. If possible, replace high or very high rated foods with lower risk foods, or opt for organic. Keep in mind that the risk comes from repeated servings over time.

The risks are calculated for the amount a 35-pound child (or four-year-old child) can safely consume each day.
