Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bread
Summary
Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bread tested at 172.35 ppb glyphosate in the 2016 GMO Free USA / Detox Project "Eating Out: A Date With Glyphosate" study — a high 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.
