Consumer Reports has rated about 20 percent of nonorganic produce ‘poor’ when it comes to pesticide residue — including fresh green beans, peaches and potatoes. And while organic produce overall is a safer alternative, even some organic produce like fresh spinach, have troubling levels of pesticides.
