Their recent report reveals that ingredients such as roast potatoes, carrots, and peas may be contaminated with a cocktail of more than 100 pesticides. According to data from the Fera pesticide usage survey for 2024, 102 different pesticides have been detected across seven categories of vegetables and soft fruits associated with the classic Sunday roast.
