2016 News Reports on Pesticide Glyphosate Found In Quaker Oats

Quaker Oats Is Being Sued For Putting A Cancer-Causing Pesticide (Pesticide Glyphosate) in their Oatmeal.  (READ MORE to see why this statement is not quite right)
In sample results compiled by an FDA chemist, the US Quaker Oats levels ranged from nothing to 1.8 parts per million.
In the European Union, the tolerance for glyphosate in oats is 20 ppm
These results were also found in the following products: “Old Fashioned Quaker Oats” and “Quaker Quick 1-minute Oats”, “Coach’s Oats”, “Bob’s Red Mill Instant Rolled Oats”, “Fifty50 Hearty Cut Oatmeal”, “McCann’s Imported Irish Oatmeal” and “Australia Fine Oat Flakes”.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in weed-killer Roundup but according to the Times, the amount found in Quaker oats fall far below potentially harmful levels. The real issue, according to this lawsuit at least, is that the product is marketed as “100 percent natural” and therefore is being falsely advertised.
They are able to sue on the basis that Quaker Oats said 100% natural, but it was only 99.99982% !!!
