High Level of Weed Killer Chemicals Found In Dozens Of Children’s Cereals | See Brands

Reports making rounds online have shown that high levels of Monsanto’s best-selling weedkiller ingredient is contained in children’s cereals, including Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Quaker Old Fashioned Oats.

According to Fox 32 News, this revelation comes just days after a jury at the Superior Court of California awarded $289 million in damages to Dewayne “Lee” Johnson, a groundskeeper who sued Monsanto after claiming the weed killers he used containing glyphosate caused him to develop non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Johnson’s case was the 1st of about 4,000 people who claim the weed killer caused their cancer, and plan to sue the companies that use glyphosate in their products.

The ingredient, glyphosate was classified as a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization in 2015, though there are large corporations fighting that label.

45 food items were tested by nonprofit Environmental Working Group in their recent study, and almost three-fourths of popular kids’ breakfast cereals, were found to have levels of glyphosate that EWG says may be dangerous to children’s health.
