21 oat-based cereal and snack products such as Cheerios tested positive for traces of glyphosate.
The chemical is the active ingredient in Roundup, which has been at the center of several trials alleging the weedkiller causes cancer.
All but four of the products tested had glyphosate levels higher than what an environmental group considers safe for children.

Damn. I just had to throw away 2 boxes of Cheerios and a generic bag of oat based cereal, just in case.

(Probably could have gotten my money back, but it's a long drive to the store and I don't keep grocery receipts after 7 days.)

I'll bet it's just them being cautious. If you ate cheerios with it in there i am sure you will be fine.

I eat Cheerios 5-6 times a week... am I going to die? O_o

That's pretty fucked up. Especially since Cheerios is something a lot of parents give to their babies to eat.

Agreed.

I mean, I don't have any babies, but I do have the ingredients to make those babies, so... what's going to happen to those ingredients? Do I just throw them all away too? :)

I eat a lot of Cheerios, and I'm not actually worried for me, but kids/babies? Yeah, they don't need this shit in their bodies.

Above levels recommended by an activist environmental group, with heavy funding from organic industry.

Hmm wonder if there is any special interest there. You're fine.

Also the LD50 for Roundup is like an insane amount lmao.

The four products that tested below the EWG's threshold of 160 parts per billion are:

Honey Nut Cheerios
Nature Valley Fruit & Nut Chewy Trail Mix Granola Bars, Dark Chocolate & Nut
Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut granola bars, Cashew
Nature Valley Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares, Cinnamon Brown Sugar

Nice. That's the only kind I eat anyway.
