Are green beans high risk? What to know about Consumer Reports' pesticide in produce study
usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/19/consumer-report-pesticides-in-produce-report/73369022007/
Quick Glance: Consumer Reports' Investigation on Pesticides in Food
- A recent study by Consumer Reports revealed that certain foods contain a concerning amount of insecticides and that green beans exhibited residues of pesticides prohibited for over a decade.
- The analysis showed that specific fruits and vegetables present a higher risk due to the type of pesticides detected on them.
- Both watermelons and green beans are classified as high-risk items because of the pesticides present. It was noted that watermelons harbored the pesticide Oxamyl.
- Even though traces of residues were detected in small quantities in food, they can pose significant risks, especially for children or pregnant individuals. Opting for organic products is advised to mitigate pesticide exposure.
