Quaker Oats sued over its use of known weed Killer Glyphosate in oats production

Will Your Oatmeal Kill You? by Buzz60

Lewis Daly, a resident of Brooklyn, New York City, has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Chicago-based American food conglomerate Quaker Oats for using carcinogens on its oats.

According to the court papers, Quaker Oats says its worldwide breakfast food is “100% Natural” but that’s “false, deceptive and misleading,” because the company uses a chemical called glyphosate in processing its oats.

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the substance as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015.

The substance is used both as a weed killer and “is sprayed on the oats as a drying agent shortly before harvest,” claims Lewis Daly in his Brooklyn federal court lawsuit.

Daly is seeking US$5 million damages. Quaker Oats could not be reached for comment.
