Apples, the number one fruit consumed by children, are a focus of the nations current pesticide control efforts stemming from the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act. The Act
requires the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that all pesticides on food and in the environment are safe for infants and children. Washington state accounts for 60 percent of
the nations apple supply and a significant share of the nations $300 billion apple export market - mostly to Canada, Mexico and Pacific Rim nations. The last time the US
Department of Agriculture tested apples was in 1996. USDA has not tested any apples since that time, leaving consumers completely in the dark about residues in this important childrens food.
Even the results of the 1996 testing were not released until 1998. Similarly, results from apple samples collected by the USDA this fall and winter will not be released until
2001. This delay undermines any value this information could have to consumers. Methyl parathion, one of the organophosphate class of pesticides, was banned from apples by the EPA last summer,
which did little to affect residues of that chemical on fruit that was on trees when the announcement was made. Consumers are still eating the last of that crop, and
will do so in juices and sauces, until the 2000 crop is available on store shelves next fall (/www.ewg.org). Tests commissioned by the Environmental Working Group and conducted by an
independent laboratory indicate that two in 25 apples have pesticide levels so hazardous that a two year-old eating half an apple or less would exceed the governments daily safe exposure
