Summary

Dunkin' Multigrain Bagel tested at 352.80 ppb glyphosate in the 2016 GMO Free USA / Detox Project "Eating Out: A Date With Glyphosate" study — a moderate residue for chain-restaurant food. Exceeds EWG's 160 ppb children's-health benchmark. Glyphosate (Roundup's active ingredient) is a WHO IARC Group 2A probable human carcinogen linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, endocrine disruption, kidney and liver impairment, and microbiome disturbance. Likely source: conventional wheat desiccated with pre-harvest glyphosate spray, a routine U.S. commodity practice that leaves residue in the kernel.

Contaminants 1

Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing

Glyphosate
352.80 ppb
High

Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Glyphosate is classified by the WHO IARC as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) and is linked in observational research to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, endocrine disruption, and microbiome disturbance. Entry route is most likely pre-harvest glyphosate desiccation of the wheat or grain ingredient.

Tested at 352.80 ppb glyphosate residue — very high for a chain-restaurant prepared food.
