Nature Valley granola bars lose ‘100% Natural’ label

General Mills will change the granola bar of Nature Valley. According to "Today USA" it has given up a label claiming 100% natural snack bar

We argue that oats used in bars contain pesticides, and since we settled the case in 2016, editing labels is in progress.

According to "USA Today", the chemical substance is glyphosate, cancer - related herbicide ingredient.

Complaints said an independent laboratory test found that natural valley products contain 45 ppm of glyphosate. According to "USA Today", it is fully compliant with Environmental Protection Agency standards, ie 30 ppm.

Despite its low reading, dissatisfaction with three consumer groups, the Organic Consumer Association, the country's mother and pesticides, "If there is no reasonable consumer, ingredients in oats and products are unnatural We will expect that. " "

General Mills spokesman Mike Siemienas said that the company resolved rather than "litigation costs and distraction". According to the USA Today report, the company is currently focusing on confirming that the product contains 100% whole wheat barley.

According to CNN, other cereals, granola bars, instant oat bakery brands have recently been found to contain dangerous chemicals.

Glyphosate is the main ingredient of Roundup. Herbicides are produced by Monsanto. The company was recently ordered to pay for men diagnosed with advanced cancer after using herbicide. According to CNN, he received a prize of about 300 million dollars. According to the "USA Today" report, the company said it would sue it.

General Mills has changed the label of the Nature Valley granola bar to eliminate the popular snack "100% natural whole grain oats". This movement is part of a legitimate solution between food giants and food giants and they claim that these bars contain traces of pesticides. Monsanto recently was ordered to pay a $ 289 million damages to a Californian man who claimed that her herbicide caused his cancer. This decision is only the first of unresolved claims from Monsanto, a subsidiary of Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company that currently maintains the safety of glyphosate.

Granola bar. It is easily attracted to names like "Natural Valley", but some Granola bars have as much sugar and candy as they do. They consist of granola and fruit; when you break it up they are made from carbohydrates and sugar. Instead, try some nuts or visit a shop selling a large amount of food with garbage to make your own mixture. Advancing through the maze of healthy and unhealthy foods can be confusing. Granola bars, sports drinks and yoghurt may all have been said to be healthy. In fact, they are not the most healthy choice for you, they do not give you the persistent energy you need. If you are unsure about specific products, please check the label. Focus on the number of grams of sugar and carbohydrates in the project and read the list of ingredients. If sugar is one of the first three ingredients, it can say that this project is not your best option. Do not forget that sugar has many names including glucose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose and starch.

In addition, the government is looking for you for you. The government told the food company that it is necessary to describe the material on the label of granola. But do you know what "all natural" means? "organic"? "Whole wheat production"? Do you know that chickens without cages can legally live indoors? When you meet a cup of yoghurt marked gluten free, you will definitely laugh. Indeed, even nutrition regulatory experts can not agree on what we should eat, so the nutrition label of government regulation is inferior to useless. The New York Times recently asked hundreds of dieticians about the health of many foods. Their answer is very ambiguous. If 60% of nutritionists say that the steak is healthy food, will you eat it? How about 57% of people say Cheddar cheese is good for you? (By the way, only 28% think that you should choose a granola bar.)
