We have discussed the “Clean 15” and “Dirty Dozen” lists to help you choose fresh fruits and vegetables wisely.

But what if you’re buying something in a bag or jar?

I’m not saying you shouldn’t purchase these items, but there are certain ingredients you should watch out for and consider finding alternative products when possible.
