Accordingly, 80 percent of the most common kitchen herbs in supermarkets, hardware stores and garden centers are contaminated with pesticides. Residues of 23 different sprays were detected in the 20 samples.

Greenpeace recommends consumers to reach for organic herbs. With these products you can be sure that no synthetic chemical pesticides are used.
