The primary pesticide used on strawberries in the U.S. is methyl bromide. It is highly toxic to the central nervous system and carcinogenic. It's being phased out/banned through most of the rest of the world for these reasons and washing doesn't help with this one -- methyl bromide is injected into the soil and is absorbed by the plant as it grows. That means it's in there and you can't get it out
