DIRTY DOZEN AND CLEAN 15

The list of the dirty dozen rank the highest for pesticide residue by the FDA and the Department of Agriculture.

This is a second food list I found and have published.   Their are some differences from the previous list, I published in March.  I wanted to make sure you had both lists.  We can never be too safe in the food we eat and what we might have to scrub, soak or peel.
