Summary

Kellogg's Froot Loops scores 8/100. EWG 2018-2019 detected glyphosate at 120 ppb. Beyond the herbicide residue, the deck packs four synthetic petroleum-based dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1) linked to attention and behavior issues in children, hydrogenated coconut/soybean/cottonseed oil, and BHT in the packaging. Bioengineered ingredients confirmed.

Contaminants 1

Source: EWG

Glyphosate
120 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 2018-2019 oat-based food testing detected glyphosate at 120 ppb.
