Analyze Your Daily Fare For Pesticides

One thing those nutrition labels on food containers don’t tell us is the ration of toxic pesticides in the foods we eat. Find out just what's in your Daily Fare with the pesticide counter designed by the Environmental Working Group.

Plug in a recent snack, what you ate for breakfast or at all three meals and you’ll get back a count of the pesticides you absorbed. The search engine matches your selections against more than 90,000 government lab test results for pesticides in food.

In the Supermarket you can check the pesticides in all the foods you just brought home from the grocery store and what their health risks are. Fruit Salad Roulette lets you mix a salad from more than 20 fruits and find out how many pesticides would be in it.

At Kid's Menu, find out which pesticides are in foods children commonly eat. Check to see if your child's diet exceeded government safety standards for pesticides that harm the nervous system.
