Major oat buyer says no to glyphosate: no more shipments of crops sprayed pre-harvest with deadly herbicide
‘One of Canada’s leading manufacturers of conventional and organic whole grain ingredients used in cereals, breads, bars and many other products served around the world has decided to stop accepting oats sprayed with Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide (glyphosate) prior to harvest, noting consumer preference as a major contributing factor to this decision.
Grain Millers, Inc., which has been milling oats, wheat, barley and rye into flours, flakes, brans and fibers for more than 20 years, says that oats sprayed pre-harvest with glyphosate simply aren’t meeting quality standards. The final product, says the company, just isn’t up to par — and this on top of the fact that the general public doesn’t want to consume glyphosate-contaminated foods.’
