Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
