Fresh fruit has no barcode to scan — so we ranked it, from real USDA lab results. Below: every fruit and vegetable scored by residue burden. Next: a washer we're building to act on what the data shows. Tap any sticker to start.
The index shows berries, grapes, and leafy greens top the residue list. The CleanFruits Washer is our answer: an ozone-microbubble soak that reduces surface pesticide residue and bacteria beyond a plain-water rinse — plus a gentle hand-spin to lift away the wash water. Independently lab-tested before we ever ship it.
Efficacy varies by pesticide and produce type. The washer reduces — not eliminates — surface residue, and is not a substitute for the FDA's guidance to rinse produce. Safety-tested for ozone output; use with normal kitchen ventilation.
The USDA's Pesticide Data Program buys produce from ordinary grocery stores nationwide, prepares it the way a shopper would (washed, peeled where customary), then tests it in federal and state labs. We compute every score directly from those raw result files — no estimates, no vendor data, no brand input.
Share of samples with at least one detectable pesticide residue.
Average number of distinct pesticides found per sample.
The most distinct pesticides found on any single sample.
Not a safety verdict — nearly all detections fall below EPA tolerance limits. The score measures residue burden, so you can decide where organic actually changes things.
One short email: what to buy conventional, what's worth buying organic this week, and one thing the data says that nobody's talking about.
For baby-food, clean-label, and meal-kit brands: independent, lot- and supplier-level residue benchmarking against the federal baseline — the evidence behind a clean claim shoppers will actually trust. The score is algorithmic and unbuyable, which is the whole point.
