Wheaties
Summary
Wheaties scores 19/100. Food Democracy Now / The Detox Project 2016 testing (Anresco Laboratories) confirmed positive for glyphosate. The base is whole grain wheat — a meaningful positive — but the deck adds both sugar and honey, and the herbicide residue contamination drags the score down significantly from where a clean whole-wheat cereal would land.
