Food that’s safe to eat! (pesiticide residues)
Quote:
Strawberries – When the USDA’s pesticide data program releases its annual list of produce samples with residues that exceed tolerable levels, strawberries appear more often than any other.

Grapes (Imported) – Buy only organic or avoid imported grapes entirely, especially for children. Imported grapes may be fumigated with highly toxic methylbromide.
I don't remember ever having bug problems on wild strawberries, blue berry, raspberry, black caps, elderberries, etc. We had a plum tree that got hit hard though.
