Summary

Pizza Hut Vegetable Topped Pizza tested at 62.56 ppb glyphosate in the 2016 GMO Free USA / Detox Project "Eating Out: A Date With Glyphosate" study — a moderate residue for chain-restaurant food. 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
62.56 ppb
Moderate

Detected at a moderate level — a meaningful fraction of health-based exposure limits. Worth factoring in if this product is used regularly. 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 62.56 ppb glyphosate residue — moderate for a chain-restaurant prepared food.
