The 2026 Dirty Dozen, published annually by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), serves as a helpful reminder to pay attention to how food is grown and sourced. While this list should not discourage anyone from eating fruits and vegetables, it can help consumers make informed choices about the produce they buy.

Should You Stop Eating These Foods?
Absolutely not.
Instead of avoiding these foods, many shoppers choose to:
- Purchase from trusted local farms.
- Source produce from farms using regenerative growing practices.
- Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating.
- Prioritize naturally grown alternatives when available.
- Focus on variety and seasonal produce.
Fresh produce remains one of the healthiest investments you can make in yourself and your family—and knowing where it comes from is always a good place to start.
