Quaker Steel Cut Oats
Summary
Quaker Steel Cut Oats scores 30/100. EWG 2018 'Breakfast With a Dose of Roundup?' (Anresco Laboratories) confirmed positive for glyphosate. The base ingredient is exceptional — minimally processed steel cut whole oats, single ingredient — but Quaker conventional oats have repeatedly tested high for glyphosate residue, dragging an otherwise excellent product into the mid-range.
