They do this each year. They go through and they test, I want to say, 46 or some crazy big number of produce items to see what's most contaminated with pesticides or what's the least contaminated with pesticides. So the top 12 of the most contaminated items is what ends up on their Dirty Dozen list. And it's meant to be like a shopper's guide for you're in the store and you have an avocado and an apple, and it's like, which one do I need to buy the organic version of? Or which one? The conventional. So those Dirty Dozen, all the produce that lands on their list of most contaminated with pesticides, we only source it organically at the well.
