Glyphosate in Cereal: Monsanto’s Weedkiller Detected at Alarming Levels, Report Says

By Christine Ruggeri, CHHC
June 12, 2019

Environmental Working Group (EWG) just released its third round of 2019 test results measuring glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer, in popular oat-based cereals and foods.
When the nonprofit organization released similar results last year, two companies, Quaker and General Mills, told the public it had no reason to worry about traces of glyphosate in their products.
After three rounds of testing that proves glyphosate is in popular cereal products, it seems that’s not the case. In fact, in the newest test results, the two highest levels of glyphosate were found in Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch and Cheerios.
Glyphosate in Cereal

In the latest batch of testing that confirmed and amplified the findings from tests done in July and October of last year, all but four of the products tested contained levels of the potentially-carcinogenic weed-killing chemical above 160 parts per billion (ppb), the health benchmark set by EWG.
These findings come about one year after EWG released two series of tests measuring glyphosate in popular children’s breakfast products. That’s when General Mills and Quaker Oats Company immediately went on the defensive, claiming glyphosate levels found in its foods fell within regulatory limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
That may be true, but many public health experts believe the levels of allowable glyphosate in food are far too high and don’t properly protect human health. Previously, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calculations suggest that 1- to 2-year-old children likely experience the highest exposure to glyphosate, the potential cancer-causing chemical used in Monsanto’s Roundup. And according to the agency’s risk assessment, the exposure level is 230 times greater than EWG’s health benchmark of 160 ppb.
In the May 2019 batch of testing, EWG commissioned Anresco Laboratories to test a range of oat-based products, including 300 grams each of 21 oat-based cereals, snack bars, granolas and instant oats made by General Mills and Quaker. Of the 21 products tested, those with the highest levels of glyphosate include:

• Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch (833 ppb)
• Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Maple Brown Sugar (566 ppb)
• Nature Valley Granola Cups, Almond Butter (529 ppb)
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios (400 ppb)
• Nature Valley Baked Oat Bites (389 ppb)
• Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Oats and Honey (320 ppb)
• Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Peanut Butter (312 ppb)
• Nature Valley Granola Cups, Peanut Butter Chocolate (297 ppb)
• Nature Valley Fruit & Nut Chewy Trail Mix Granola Bars, Dark Chocolate Cherry (275 ppb)
• Nature Valley Granola Protein Oats n Dark Chocolate (261 ppb)
• Multi Grain Cheerios (216 ppb)
• Nature Valley Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares, Blueberry (206 ppb)
• Fiber One Oatmeal Raisin Soft-Baked Cookies (204 ppb)
• Nature Valley Granola Peanut Butter Creamy & Crunchy (198 ppb)
• Nature Valley Biscuits with Almond Butter (194 ppb)

These tested products contain glyphosate at levels well above EWG’s safety standard of 160 ppb.
A Look at Previous Glyphosate in Cereal Testing

Last year, EWG set a more stringent health benchmark for daily exposure to glyphosate in foods than the EPA and tested an initial batch of products. Considering EWG’s standard of 160 parts per billion (ppb), after two rounds of testing, the following products exceeded that limit in one or both samples tested, with the starred products exceeding 400 ppb:

• Granola
  • Back to Nature Classic Granola*
  • Quaker Simply Granola Oats, Honey, Raisins & Almonds*
  • Nature Valley Granola Protein Oats ‘n Honey
• Instant Oats
  • Giant Instant Oatmeal, Original Flavor*
  • Quaker Dinosaur Eggs, Brown Sugar, Instant Oatmeal*
  • Umpqua Oats, Maple Pecan
  • Market Pantry Instant Oatmeal, Strawberries & Cream
• Oat Breakfast Cereals
  • Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal*
  • Lucky Charms*
  • Barbara’s Muligrain Spoonfuls, Original Cereal
  • Kellogg’s Cracklin’ Oat Bran Oat Cereal
• Snack Bars
  • Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Oats ‘n Honey
• Whole Oats
  • Quaker Steel Cut Oats*
  • Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
  • Bob’s Red Mill Steel Cut Oats

Companies negatively affected by these tests may point to the EPA’s legal limit for glyphosate in oats, which is 30 parts per million. But since this outdated standard was set in 2008, the International Agency for Research on Cancer labeled glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic” and the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment categorized it as a “chemical known to the state to cause cancer.”
EWG suggests that the solution is simple – keep chemicals linked to cancer out of children’s food. This may start with the EPA sharply limiting glyphosate residues allowed on oats and prohibiting the chemical’s use as a pre-harvest drying agent.
Since last August, there have been three separate verdicts against Bayer-Monsanto, the makers of Roundup. Jurors in California awarded more than 2.2 billion dollars over claims that the toxic weedkiller caused cancer and Monsanto knew about this risk for decades, but went to extraordinary lengths to cover it up.
What does this mean for our children? Without some serious changes made to the food industry and EPA standards, they’ll continue to ingest potentially toxic levels of glyphosate for breakfast. Maybe this will be the last straw for consumers?
EWG turned to Eurofins, a nationally recognized lab with extensive experience testing for chemicals. This testing involved measuring the amount of glyphosate found in popular products containing oats. What is this a big deal? I’m glad you ask …

Previous research suggests that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is linked to the development of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The bad news? Tests have detected it in all but two of 45 non-organic product samples. The list of products tested includes Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Nature Valley granola bars and Quaker oats.
Alexis Temkin, PhD, an EWG toxicologist and the author of the report, expressed her concerns about these findings. “Parents shouldn’t worry about whether feeding their children healthy oat foods will also expose them to a chemical linked to cancer. The government must take steps to protect our vulnerable populations,” she said.
Until then, EWG and 19 food companies have delivered more than 80,000 names on a petition to the EPA demanding that they sharply limit glyphosate residues in oat products and prohibit its use as a preharvest drying agent.
Why Is Glyphosate in Our Food?

Why is there glyphosate in our food? According to the U.S. Geological Survey, 250 million pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops each year. Glyphosate is primarily used on Roundup Ready corn and soybeans that are genetically modified to withstand the herbicide.
Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide, meaning it’s taken up inside of the plant, including the parts livestock and humans wind up eating.
And on top of that, glyphosate is sprayed on other non-GMO crops, like wheat, oats, barley and beans, right before harvest. Farmers sometimes call this “burning down” the crops and do this to kill the food plants and dry them out so that they can be harvested sooner.
How Much Glyphosate Is Too Much?

Why do we have to pay attention to glyphosate levels in our food? The simple answer is that glyphosate is linked to an elevated risk of cancer. In fact, the World Health Organization categorizes the weed-killing chemical as “probably carcinogenic in humans.”
So, really, any amount of glyphosate in our food is concerning, especially when it’s found in our children’s food. (And especially since children consume it during critical stages of development.)
So how did EWG come up with the limit for child glyphosate exposure? Using a cancer risk assessment developed by California state scientists, EWG calculated that glyphosate levels above 160 parts per billion (ppb) are considered too high for children. To break that down into simpler terms — a child should not ingest more than 0.01 milligrams of glyphosate per day.
How did tEWG come up with this health benchmark? Under California’s Proposition 65 registry of chemicals known to cause cancer, the “No Significant Risk Level” for glyphosate for the average adult weighing about 154 pounds is 1.1 milligrams per day. This safety level is more than 60 times lower than the standards set by the EPA.
To calculate the recommendation for children, EWG took California’s increased lifetime risk of cancer of one in 1 million (which is the number used for many cancer-causing drinking water contaminants), and added a 10-fold margin of safety, which is recommended by the federal Food Quality Protection Act to support children and developing fetuses that have an increased susceptibility to carcinogens. This is how EWG reached the safety limit of 0.01 milligrams of glyphosate per day for children.
EWG’s health benchmark concerning the amount of glyphosate that poses a threat in our food is much more stringent than what the EPA allows. Although this amount of glyphosate present in oat products doesn’t seem like much in one portion, imagine consuming that amount every day over a lifetime. Exposure to this toxic herbicide will certainly accumulate over time, which is worrisome, to say the least.
“The concern about glyphosate is for long-term exposure. As most health agencies would say, a single portion would not cause deleterious effects,” explains Olga Naidenko, PhD, EWG’s senior science advisor for children’s health. “But think about eating popular foods such as oatmeal every day, or almost every day — that’s when, according to scientific assessments, such amounts of glyphosate might pose health harm.”
And there is some controversy over whether or not we can trust government regulators to make sure the food we eat is safe. This past April, internal emails obtained by the nonprofit US Right to Know revealed that the FDA has been testing food for glyphosate for two years and found “a fair amount.” But these findings haven’t been released to the public. According to The Guardian, the news outlet that obtained these internal documents, an FDA chemist wrote: “I have brought wheat crackers, granola cereal and corn meal from home and there’s a fair amount in all of them.”
According to Naidenko, “It is essential for companies to take action and choose oats grown without herbicides. This can be done, and EWG urges government agencies such as the EPA, and companies to restrict the use of herbicides that end up in food.”
Glyphosate in Cereal: Organic vs. Non-Organic Products

What about organic cereals and oats? EWG findings suggest that organic products contain significantly less glyphosate that non-organic products. To be exact, 31 out of 45 conventional product samples contained glyphosate levels at or higher than 160 ppb, while 5 out of 16 organic brand products registered low levels of glyphosate (10 to 30 ppb). Of all the organic products tested, none of them contained a level of glyphosate anywhere near the EWG benchmark of 160 ppb.
Glyphosate can get into organic foods by drifting from nearby fields that grow conventional crops. Organic products may also be cross-contaminated during processing at a facility that also handles conventional crops.
While glyphosate was detected in some organic oat products, the levels were much, much lower than conventional products, or non-existent. So it looks like the rule still stands — to avoid increased exposure to cancer-causing chemicals like glyphosate, choose organic.
Final Thoughts on Glyphosate in Cereal

• EWG commissioned independent laboratory tests to measure the levels of glyphosate present in popular oat-based products. Scientists found that almost three-fourths of the conventionally grown products contained glyphosate levels that are higher than what EWG considers safe for children.
• Feeding your family clean, healthy meals may already feel like a daily challenge. We shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not our seemingly healthy choices contain toxic herbicides.
• To join EWG to get glyphosate out of our food, take action here.

Glyphosate in Food & Water

Glyphosate-based formulations are the most widely sold and used pesticides globally. Glyphosate is virtually everywhere in the food chain. As a consequence, glyphosate is regularly detected in human urine. At these levels and even below, several converging lines of research in laboratory animals suggest that glyphosate-based herbicides may be endocrine disruptors and alter liver and kidney function.
​

Glyphosate-based formulations (the most common being Roundup from Monsanto) are the most widely sold and used pesticides globally. They are used on food crops during cultivation, not only to desiccate the crop before harvest (for instance on wheat), but also more intensively during the cultivation of the 80% of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that are modified to tolerate Roundup. They are also used in parks, gardens, along roads and railway tracks, and in cemeteries. Since glyphosate’s main mode of action in plants is absent in animals, it is considered to be one of the safest pesticides – even safer than table salt, according to Monsanto. As a consequence, the presence of glyphosate is tolerated at high levels in food and tap water. After more than 30 years of a “don’t look, don’t see” policy on glyphosate’s secondary side effects, many studies in recent years have suggested that glyphosate has worrying health effects at levels regularly detected in food an tap water.
Human contamination and food surveys

Update: Glyphosate has now been found in a range of popular U.S. food products by Anresco Laboratories and also urine of people across America by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), using validated LC-MS/MS methods.
The cultivation of Roundup Ready GMOs has considerably increased food contamination by glyphosate. Roundup Ready plants do not degrade glyphosate but tolerate it, so they accumulate Roundup residues during their growth. As a consequence, glyphosate has among the highest maximum residue limits for pesticides, with up to 500,000 parts per billion (ppb, see box 1) authorized in some GM feed. A recent study on 10 batches of GM soybeans from Iowa found glyphosate at an average concentration of 11,900 ppb (maximum of 20,100 ppb) [1]. According to Monsanto, residues levels of up to 5,600 ppb in GM soy represent “extreme levels” [2]. Since cattle are mostly fed Roundup Ready soybeans, contamination with extreme levels of glyphosate could have serious consequences on cattle health. In a study on Danish dairy cows [3], elevated glyphosate urinary levels have been linked to a marked increase in biomarkers indicative of damage to liver and kidney function. Another recent study found glyphosate in the organs of piglets born with birth defects [4]. In this case, the highest concentrations were measured in lungs (0.4-80 ppb), heart (0.15-80 ppb), and kidneys (0.1-38 ppb). This strongly suggests bioaccumulation of glyphosate in internal organs, which is contrary to the common belief of rapid elimination.

​

Permitted levels in tap water reach 700 ppb in USA, which is particularly high for a pesticide. Among 85 tap water samples analyzed by Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse [5], glyphosate was found in 35 cases at levels up to 0.3 ppb. Glyphosate contamination in food appears common. UK government testing for glyphosate residues in bread showed frequent glyphosate contamination, sometimes exceeding 500 ppb in wholemeal bread [6]. The global contamination is certainly underestimated. Analysis of 69 honey samples from different origins revealed glyphosate at unexpectedly high levels, around 64 ppb [7]. Some samples were contaminated with 163 ppb, a concentration neurotoxic to honeybees. A recent analysis even documented the presence of glyphosate in Froot Loops at a level of 120 ppb [8].

Glyphosate is present at all levels of the food chain: in water, plants, animals, and even in humans. Every single study that has measured human contamination with glyphosate has found it. The most recent survey [5], performed by Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse, measured glyphosate levels in the urine of 85 US citizens: 17 were recruited in the streets of Washington DC; the others, volunteers among the members of Moms Across America, were spread across the country. Glyphosate was detected in 22 cases at an average concentration of 12.6 ppb. The maximum of 18.8 ppb was measured in the urine of a woman in Oregon. Comparable levels have been detected in a survey performed on farming and non-farming families in Iowa [9]. Glyphosate was detected in the majority of samples, including more than 95% of the children’s urine samples (maximum of 18 ppb). In Europe, a survey by Friends of the Earth across 18 countries found glyphosate in 80 out of 182 urinary samples taken from volunteers [6]. Another European survey by Monika Kruger showed average urinary glyphosate levels of 5.4 ppb (maximum of 40 ppb) [10]. In this study, chronically ill humans had higher glyphosate residues in urine than healthy humans.

Toxic effects of glyphosate and its commercial formulations

Despite claims that glyphosate has been widely studied by regulatory agencies and industry, little is known about the health effects of glyphosate-based herbicides at levels found in food or water. Indeed, to estimate a safe level of glyphosate for regulatory purposes, glyphosate has been tested in long-term and developmental toxicity tests in rodents. All these tests have been performed with glyphosate alone at very high levels. However, the exposure of animals at doses ranging from around 10,000 ppb during their whole life is not relevant to conclude on the effects of exposures in the much lower dose range of 10-100 ppb. Many pesticides are endocrine disruptors, meaning that they disrupt cell communications and exercise their toxic effects at low doses over long periods of time – even when higher doses do not have these effects. Various studies have found that glyphosate and Roundup can be endocrine disruptors at levels permitted in tap water [11,12].
The only long-term study at environmentally relevant concentrations was performed with 0.1 ppb of Roundup diluted in drinking water of rats [11]. The incidence of mammary tumors significantly increased in this study. Out of 10 rats treated with Roundup at 0.1 ppb, 9 developed 20 mammary tumors, whereas 5 out of 10 controls only developed 8 tumors. Hormones (Testosterone and estradiol) serum levels were also altered. These results are corroborated by cellular endocrine disturbances found in human mammary cells [12]. Glyphosate was able to replace estrogen and to promote the growth of human mammary cells at around 0.1 ppb. In another study at higher doses, a maternal exposure to a glyphosate-based herbicide during pregnancy was able to disrupt rat pup development [13]. In the above-cited cases, as for other endocrine disruptors, toxic effects do not always increase in proportion to the dose. In these cases, and contrary to the common industry claim, the dose does not make the poison. These effects are thus not likely to be detected in regulatory tests using only high levels of glyphosate, as has happened in the past for the plastics chemical bisphenol A and other endocrine disruptors [14].
Converging lines of evidence have demonstrated that Roundup residues pose a risk to the kidneys and the liver. In the study performed by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, rats treated with 0.1 ppb of Roundup presented an increased rate of severe chronic kidney disease [11]. This may also explain observed increases in the frequency of chronic kidney disease among farmers [15]. The liver was also affected; rats treated with 0.1 ppb Roundup presented more liver abnormalities such as congestion or necrotic (dead) areas [11]. In another study [16], Wistar rats were exposed during 30 or 90 days to the highest level (700 ppb) of glyphosate allowed in water for human consumption in USA. While no tissue changes were detected in the study, changes in the biochemistry indicated stress at the level of the kidneys and the liver. All these effects are detected well below regulatory thresholds, in a range of concentrations corresponding to potential human exposures to glyphosate-based herbicide residues.

In conclusion, several converging lines of evidence suggest worrying effects of glyphosate at levels detected in food, water, and even in human bodies. The toxicity tests performed in glyphosate regulatory assessments were unable to detect these effects, because they were performed with too high doses, and did not take into account recent scientific knowledge about toxicology.
Understanding the ppb unit.

1 part per billion (ppb) is equivalent to 1 µg/kg or 1 µg/L of a given substance. It represents the concentration of a molecule or a mixture. For a mixture, 1 ppb corresponds to a dilution of 1 billion.
1 ppb of Roundup represents the dilution of a teaspoon of Roundup in the volume of an Olympic swimming pool. 700 µg of glyphosate dissolved in one litre of water corresponds to a concentration of 700 ppb, the level admitted in US tap water. It corresponds to one drop of Roundup in 25 litres of tap water.


Commercial formulations of glyphosate contain other toxicants.

Glyphosate is never used alone, but in commercial formulations containing additional toxic agents called adjuvants. They are used to increase glyphosate’s toxicity and to allow its penetration into plants. They are in some cases more toxic than glyphosate [17], but they are never included in glyphosate long-term toxicity tests and are considered to be inert, like water. They constitute a “black hole” in pesticide toxicology, because they are often kept secret by companies, are never measured in the environment, and are not included in the establishment of pesticide acceptable daily intakes.

Having dealt with the FDA through work they hold an overseas company shipping to the US over the hot coals & hold you to very strict rules.
But from EXP they don't seem to be as tough on their own.

If you get a good juice machine, I recommend up to 100 days on a juice only fast. A gallon a day. After that, I recommend a whole food plant based diet, organic if able to or at least try to get organic versions of the fruit/veggies on the "Dirty Dozen" pesticide list. And then a 4 day water fast every 6 weeks is good to keep you clean. If you are going to eat grains, I recommend only: Amaranth, Fonio, Kamut, Quinoa, Rye, Spelt, Teff, and Wild Rice.

Have you considered or tried cutting wheat out of your diet?
I felt like shit, had arthritis, and was nauseous for about ten years before I figured out it was a wheat thing by accident while removing sugars from diet.
It is worth trying to see.
These days I have no arthritis or nausea and i dont feel like im ninety years old getting out of bed in the morning.
Drs tested me for years and told me i was healthy the whole time.
Good luck in getting better whatever your issue is.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=358832&highlight=Glyphosate

From 1/06/2019:

Diabetes runs in my family so ive always been health conscious, and ive had intestinal tumours removed. Crazy thing is I was running 10 miles a day, hitting the gym for 2 hours on top of that along with eating 90% fruit and vegetables only when i developed the intestinal tumours. The post op from the hospital explained areas of the world that dont eat processed foods have much lower digestive tumour/cancer rates. Mentioning things like bleached grains (white bread) being bad for digestive health.

Oats/Grains/breads/cereals/crackers in general (not just bleached white) are what caused my tumours, i found out later about the glyphosate (chemical used in roundup weed killer) content found in USA grown grains and food products. In the USA its common practice for farmers to spray (saturate) grain crops and sugarcane with Roundup as a desiccant a few weeks prior to harvest to preserve it, which means right before its made into food its drenched in Roundup.

My understanding is that cancer and tumours form from bad cell division so eliminating any unnecessary storage or growth in your body helps reduce the chances.

I just skimmed by this last night and didn't read it. But reading now this scares the shit out if me. Should anyone.

Do you know this to be true? How? And Roundup is a weed killer. Why would anyone use it as a desiccant? There are plenty of other ways of doing that. Actually most produce is sold by weight. Wouldn't farmers like the higher profits to be got from selling the heavier produce that have water content?

I eat oatmeal with hemp powder with frozen wild blueberries on it and mix in Smucker's Natural Crunchy peanut butter (ingredients: salt, peanuts) before nuking it for breakfast every morning. The sphincter muscle that is at the top of everyone's stomach is supposed to close to hold the stomach contents in. Mine doesn't close. That causes bad acid reflux. So have taken Prilosec every morning since the early 90s.

Do you have any real hard scientific data to support these claims? If not, and not just some YouTube videos, your claims are very irresponsible and instigating. To the point of slander. I will be researching this.

I'm NO fan of Monsanto or Roundup by any means. In fact I think they're evil. But just like most, I prefer being told the truth.

7 months later here we are dddaver lol.

Cutting out grains, all grains, legumes, night shade veggies all of which are inflammatory, has made a huge difference with me. Going semi-Paleo, Mediterranean diet/food choices made a difference.

i am curious...is round up ever used in clandestine cannabis production?

I mean maybe some lazy fucks use it to clear a field or something before growing a crop, but I can't see how it could ever be actually used directly on cannabis. They haven't made glyphosate resistant cannabis yet so spraying your plants would kill them.
