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.

Contaminants 1

Source: EWG

Glyphosate
72.9 ppb
Moderate

Detected at a moderate level — a meaningful amount worth factoring in if this product is eaten regularly. Glyphosate is classified as a probable human carcinogen by IARC, and glyphosate-residue-free supply chains exist — so its presence reflects ingredient sourcing.

EWG 2022 testing detected glyphosate at up to 72.9 ppb across 3 samples.
