THE SCARY FACTS
Here's What a Manual "Quick Rinse" Actually Leaves Behind:
99% of conventional strawberry samples tested by USDA carry detectable pesticide residue
46% of foodborne illness in the U.S. is linked to produce... more than meat, poultry, or dairy (CDC)
The average number of different pesticides found per sample on conventional produce (USDA/EWG)
It's not that you've been careless. It's that nobody told you a 3-second rinse wasn't designed to remove any of this.
