Malted Barley

Positive in 2 products Neutral in 3

Scout's take

The primary glyphosate-residue vector in beer. Conventional barley in North America is commonly sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup) as a pre-harvest desiccant to dry the grain uniformly for combine harvesting; residues persist through malting, mashing, and fermentation.

More from Scout's analyses

Malted barley is a whole grain that has been germinated and dried, enhancing its flavor and nutritional profile. It is a source of dietary fiber and essential nutrients. Organic certification ensures no synthetic chemicals are used in its cultivation.
