In 2019, PIRG published a report about glyphosate in beer and wine products at levels the organization deemed high. The study also noted that the glyphosate levels fell within the EPA’s guidelines for safe consumption.
In response, a toxicologist from Bayer, which owns the parent company of Roundup weed killer, said PIRG released misleading information. "Assuming the greatest value reported, 51.4 , is correct, a 125-pound adult would have to consume 308 gallons of wine per day, every day for life to reach the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s glyphosate exposure limit for humans," William Reeves toldIt’s very unlikely that a person could ever consume enough glyphosate via trace amounts in food to pose a health threat.wrote in August 2017 that based on the European Food Safety Authority’s glyphosate suggested limit of 0.
In an interview with NBC News, Fred Gould, head of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University, said the amount of the chemical is key.We rate the claim that"Goldfish crackers contain a dangerously high amount of weed killer" False.
