Last year the active ingredient in the herbicide Round-Up, glyphosate, was found in every California wine tested. This year it has also been detected in beer produced by well-known commercial brewers. It surprised me that Sierra Nevada made the list since it is more of a craft beer.
The only way to ensure your food is clean and safe is to grow it yourself or buy it from someone local whom you know and trust. Thats how I get our raw milk weekly, and we patronize local farmer’s markets, buy organic produce and grass-fed meats whenever we can. If we have to buy the normal grocery produce, we go by the “dirty/clean” list, not buying from the dirty list, and still washing it well before using. (The dirtiest item are strawberries. My wife won’t eat one on a bet!) Here is the listing for 2018. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/health/the-dirty-dozen-and-clean-15-of-produce/616/
