For the first time since 2007, the Department of Agriculture included raisins in its testing from 2018 for pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables, and the results are shocking: Of more than 750 raisin samples analyzed, 99 percent tested positive for at least two pesticides. On average, each sample was contaminated with more than 13 pesticides, and one sample had 26 pesticides.
EWG does not usually analyze processed foods like raisins for our annual Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™. But because of the heavy pesticide loads USDA found, we wanted to see how raisins compare to the fresh produce on our Dirty Dozen™ list. After running the analysis again, we found that if raisins were included, they would rank first. By a wide margin, raisins would rank higher than fresh grapes, which would rank seventh.
The bottom line: Raisins are one of the dirtiest produce commodities on the market – and even some organic raisins are contaminated.
