Beech-Nut Oatmeal Whole Grain Baby Cereal
Summary
Beech-Nut Oatmeal Whole Grain Baby Cereal scores 52/100. Simple ingredients — whole grain oat flour, sunflower lecithin, plus fortified vitamins and minerals. However, EWG 2022 testing found glyphosate at up to 72.9 ppb across 3 samples, which is especially concerning for an infant cereal. The high glyphosate levels heavily penalize an otherwise clean product. NOVA 2.
