Lettuce

 

Approximately 200 different chemicals were sprayed on just California leaf lettuce in 2023.  These chemicals included carcinogens, forever chemicals, and chemicals identified as inert or adjuvants where even their identities are kept secret (Proprietary). California cdpr has catered too long to the pesticide industry. The California air resources board has enough guts to tell the automobile industry to get their act together but the cdpr apparently does not.
