evidence: - Levels of the harmful pesticide glyphosate are on the decline in oat-based products, according to Environmental Working Group tests. [...] When it comes to a harmful pesticide in your cereal or oatmeal, do you want the good or bad news first? [...] The highest concentrations showed up in Quaker products, as they did in earlier tests. The three highest concentrations were found in flavors of Quaker Oatmeal Squares. Seven samples tested for both glyphosate and chlormequat contained detectable levels of both. This suggests these chemicals are present together in many oat-based foods. Chlormequat is an agricultural chemical that can harm development and the reproductive system in animals.
