GMO-Free Cheerios Test Positive for Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide
Do your kids eat cheerios? Can you believe this?
If things were not upsetting enough with Monsanto and our food supply, recent testing found that Cheerios-
a children's breakfast GMO free cereal had the highest amounts of weed killer of the products tested.

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream indicated too:
In addition, the NY Times published an article a few days ago about Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Ten of their flavors were found to have residues of Monsanto's weedkiller in 10 samples of their ice cream.

There were other products too that showed residues of the weed killer that has now being questioned in California EPA because of its known cancer causing effects.
Goldfish Crackers also tested positive:
Is residue of weed killer harmful in our food products?
California is the first state to take a stand !
California EPA Moves to Label Round Up ( weed Killer) as Carcinogenic
Goldfish Crackers also tested positive:
- Original Goldfish crackers – 18.40 parts per billion
- Goldfish crackers colors – 8.02 parts per billion
- Goldfish crackers whole grain – 24.58 parts per billion
Whole Foods 365 Round Crackers had residue as well:
The greatest concentrations seemed to be in cereal, crackers, and cookies. Mostly in wheat, oat, and grain products- even GMO free products.

"An FDA-registered food safety lab recently conducted testing on common foods and their results were nothing short of alarming. The lab found high levels of a chemical known as glyphosate in several popular foods. If glyphosate sounds familiar, it may be because you know this chemical as Monsanto’s Roundup weed-killer. Test results indicated that these foods have over 1,000 times the glyphosate levels that are considered to be harmful."

I detest General Mills Cheerios (and Lucky Charms) because they are not truly gluten free due to their mechanically separated/sorted oats which contain gluten because they can't adequately "sort" out all the gluten and their testing methods average "samples" to get less than 20 ppm. That means that some samples that gf consumers are consuming are 20 ppm and above. Gluten considerations aside and looking to the topic of your post--Roundup and glyphosates--I can find nothing in the article you linked to about Cheerios or even General Mills, Judee. Did you perhaps provide the wrong link?

Yes - I linked the wrong post... thanks Shirley.. I fixed it...
ReplyDeleteGood old glyphosate! I got into a lengthy back-and-forth on Twitter with some UK farmers, new to the chemical, who were gung-ho about it.
ReplyDeleteJean,
DeleteIsn't that so scary.Monsanto does quite a job selling it..
Thanks for sharing this important information with us at #BloggersPitStop. You can't always go by the labels on packaging and now the hidden dangers such as weed killer. Everyone should read your post.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a concern. It's hard to know what is healthy and what is not. My mother in law has always said moderation of all things. Eat from a cross section and don't repeat the same food over and over again.
DeleteWhat corporate amaerica is doing to the food supply is truly abhorrent! Back in my grandparents day, food was organiz (unknowingly) because Monsanto didn't spray the c$$p out of everything. It is truly frightening to see what is happening. Thank you for this article. Good bye cheerios, forever! Ugh... #BloggersPitStop
ReplyDeleteVery scary I agree.
DeleteOne of my neighbors was telling me this. I could not believe it!! Thanks for sharing this important info with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
I wish it were not true as so many children love cheerios
DeleteThis is I wish I could grow all of my own food! I love cheerios. Thanks for sharing at #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. I have shared on social media.
ReplyDeleteI know. It is very disappointing what are food supply is exposed to,
DeleteWe all need to be more aware of just what it is we are eating!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty
I agree. That is why I felt compelled to share this important information,
DeleteThat all sounds very disturbing! Thank you for linking up at #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. I’m sharing your link on social media.

I felt upset by the information as well, especially since it is GMO free and a very popular cereal
DeleteGood to know this important info for us and our grandbabies about Cheerios and Goldfish! The multi grain is my fav cereal. Thank you Judee for linking up at the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. I shared your post on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI know.. it is quite disturbing. Hope you find a good alternative
DeleteThat is really shocking and alarming! It's difficult in this day and age, but we all need to try and eat food with only one ingredient; itself! Thanks for sharing this info at the #BloggingGrandmotherLinkParty! I've shared this on social media.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be the harbinger of bad news. It's amazing they even tested it.
DeleteVery disturbing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this important info! By coincidence, just purchased some WF Round Crackers last week. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteWell yikes! I have a box of Cheerios in my pantry. Really disturbing but thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is despicable. There is no reason for this. However corporate America does what is best for them, without any concerns for the consumer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with WTJR, this post is one of my featured for next week. This problem has not gotten any better since this was originally published and often the info newly learned fades in our memory.
