Many Americans turn to citrus fruits for a healthy dose of vitamin C, especially during the colder weather, but they may be unknowingly getting a side of cancer-linked chemical, too. EWG scientists discovered cancer-linked imazalil on nearly 90 percent of non-organic citrus samples!

Even after the fruit is peeled, the average concentration of imazalil was about 20 times higher than EWG's recommended limit to protect children's health! See the full results below.

Raisins didn’t qualify for the Dirty Dozen, since we don’t include processed foods in the list, but if they did, they would top the list by a mile. Ninety-nine percent of conventional raisins tested positive for at least two pesticides, including some that can harm kids’ developing brains!

Pesticides on Raisins - 99% Have Pesticide Residues - Up to 26 different pesticides can be found on a single raisin sample - Chlorpyrifos: Notorious brain-damaging pesticide banned in Europe found on 5% of raisins - Neonics: Bee-killing pesticide banned in Europe that can also harm brain development found on 84% of raisins
