Call on General Mills to do better and get toxic pesticides out of its supply chain

Dear General Mills CEO Jeff Harmening,

Traces of a possibly-carcinogenic weed killer have no place in anybody's breakfast, and certainly not children's.

But an August study found glyphosate -- the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup -- in a number of oat-based breakfast foods marketed to kids. The study found General Mills' Cheerios have excessive levels of the herbicide.

We know that oats and grains can be grown without the use of toxic pesticides. That's why we're calling on General Mills to do better and get toxic pesticides out of its supply chain.

Sincerely,
