19 Off 21 Children’s Cereals Detected With Roundup Chemical

Introduction

Popular children’s cereals have been detected with Glyphosate, the active ingredient found in Monsanto Roundup and other widely-used herbicides.

The Environmental Working Group tested 21 kinds of breakfast cereals, out of which 19 had high levels of Roundup chemical. The Environmental Working Group’s health benchmark for children is 160 ppb. The levels detected in General Mills’ Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch is 833 ppb, and in Cheerios, is 729 ppb. Glyphosate is the most popular weed killer in the world; more than 250 million pounds of the Roundup chemicals are sprayed on U.S. agricultural crops every year. Olga Naidenko, Ph.D., vice president for science investigations at the Environmental Working Group, stated as per the latest tests, a box of Cheerios or other oat-based foods on store shelves available today have the presence of a carcinogenic chemical.

Bayer AG overtook Monsanto last June and is currently defending 14,000 Roundup cancer lawsuits. In a Roundup trial that concluded last month, a California jury awarded $2 billion to an elderly couple with NHL disease. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria is presiding overall the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of California.
