Kind of a negative Nancy headline. I would have said “Most baby food does not contain pesticides!”
Reporting is all so senationalisitc and doom and gloom these days.
It’s the EWG making the claim. They’re a well known pseudoscience and fearmongering group. They also pushed the “vaccines cause autism” claim in the past.
If this claim were true (I see comments saying it’s probably biased), 40% is an extremely high number. Baby’s could eat like 10 to 20 (ballpark example figure, I know it varies) jars of baby food every week, it would suck if 4 to 8 of them had toxins. It’s not like it’s a whole fruit you can wash off. I agree with your point about unnecessary gloom in the news, but I don’t think there’s really much of a bright side to 60% uncontaminated baby food. If they took figures like 5% and sensationalized it I’d agree with you more. 60% is barely “most.”
