Summary

Kashi Soft-Baked Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies scores 4/100. EWG 2019 oat-based snack testing detected glyphosate at 275 ppb. The deck is cleaner than a typical mainstream cookie (whole grain oats, multi-grain blend, expeller-pressed canola oil), but the multi-grain wholesomeness story is undermined by glyphosate contamination and three layered sweeteners (cane sugar, honey, brown rice syrup).

Contaminants 1

Source: Anresco Laboratories

Glyphosate
275 ppb
High

Detected at a high level — at or above health-based benchmarks such as EWG's 160 ppb children's-health benchmark. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Glyphosate is classified as a probable human carcinogen by IARC, and glyphosate-residue-free supply chains exist — so its presence reflects ingredient sourcing.

EWG 2019 oat-based snack testing (Anresco Laboratories, FDA-registered, LC-MS/MS) detected glyphosate at 275 ppb.
