Kashi Organic Promise
Summary
Kashi Organic Promise scores 27/100. Food Democracy Now / The Detox Project 2016 testing (Anresco Laboratories) confirmed positive for glyphosate — particularly notable because this product is USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. The contamination is most likely from upstream wheat supply chain cross-contamination (organic certification does not require finished-product residue testing). The clean ingredient deck (organic wheat, organic cane sugar, organic natural flavor) is otherwise a positive.
