Spinach on list of pesticide-heavy vegetables according to new report

Spinach has been added to the list of vegetables with potentially high pesticide residues. This is evident from a recent update of the Pesticide Eating Guide, an online tool that informs consumers about pesticides in food.

The organization uses measurement data from the food and consumer product authority. According to the Eating Guide, spinach has shown higher residues of crop protection agents more frequently in recent years.

Spinach is popular in Dutch households, especially in winter. Consumers who want to avoid pesticides in their food can opt for organic spinach or other vegetables with lower residues.

The Pesticide Eating Guide is regularly updated with new data. The organization advises eating a varied diet and not focusing solely on pesticides.
