Summary

Quaker Quick 1-Minute Oats scores 28/100. The single ingredient — whole grain rolled oats — is excellent, but these are the same milled oats as Quaker's other lines, where EWG testing has repeatedly found pesticide residues: the 2018 'Breakfast With a Dose of Roundup?' study (Anresco Laboratories) detected glyphosate in every Quaker oat product sampled (up to 1,300 ppb in Old Fashioned Oats), 2023 follow-up testing still found residues across Quaker oatmeal from the same supply chain, and EWG's February 2024 study detected chlormequat at ~290 ppb in Old Fashioned Oats. Absent evidence this line is sourced differently, it scores with its supply-chain siblings.
