Did you know that:

• The average child gets 5+ servings of pesticides in their food and water each day.
• The pesticide Atrazine is so toxic it is banned in Europe, but it is used so widely in the U.S., that it is found in 71% of the U.S. drinking water.
• Currently, over 400 pesticides can be legally used in the U.S. For example, apples can be sprayed up to 16 times with 36 different pesticides. None of these chemicals are present in organic foods.

Pesticide Action Network (PAN), believes that pesticides are a public health problem requiring public engagement to solve. They now provide the information you need to take action on pesticides. What’s On My Food? builds on PAN’s 27-year tradition of making pesticide science accessible. Go to Pesticide Action Network for information about the foods you eat.
