Rinse, Repeat

The FDA “does not use statistically valid methods” to test for pesticide residues on food, says a new report by the Government Accountability Office. Although the FDA claims that pesticide violation rates are low, the agency checks less than one-tenth of 1 percent (quick math: that's < 0.1%, a really, really tiny amount) of imported fruits and vegetables for harmful residues. And the agency doesn’t test for many of the most common agricultural pesticides—including Roundup—at all. Washington Post
