Lab testing commissioned by consumer advocacy groups detected glyphosate in 100% of America’s top fast food restaurants. Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide globally and often ends up in grain-heavy and ultra-processed convenience foods. Glyphosate is toxic to the human body with the IARC considering it a “probable carcinogen” because of its links to non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, but it also can cause liver, gut and kidney damage as well as metabolic disorders like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome.
The restaurants tested were: Panera Bread, Subway, Arby’s, Dairy Queen, Popeyes, Little Caesar’s, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, KFC, Domino’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out, Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Chipotle, and Panda Express.
The manufacturer of glyphosate, Bayer, has paid over $11 Billion in historical settlements to people who have been critically injured by the chemical.
