You might not see them, but pesticides are everywhere – on our food, washed or not; in our bodies, even years after exposure: and in our environment, having travelled miles by wind, water and dust.
But finding out what pesticides might be on your food hasn’t been that easy. That is, until now. Thanks to the Pesticide Action Network (PAN), you now have at your fingertips a searchable database, What’s on my food, which links “…pesticide food residue data with the toxicology for each chemical, making this information easily searchable for the first time.”
