Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Now Found to be Contaminated with Monsanto’s Glyphosate

‘Monsanto’s toxic herbicide glyphosate is increasingly being found in our food supply. Last year a damning study was released showing alarming levels of the chemical in many popular brands of breakfast cereals and snack foods, we are learning that Ben and Jerry’s ice creams are also contaminated.
“The Organic Consumers Association announced Tuesday that it found traces of glyphosate in 10 of 11 samples of the company’s ice creams — although at levels far below the ceiling set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Ben and Jerry’s has stated that they are working to discontinue the use of GMO ingredients in their products, but now they are also being called upon to move towards organics as well.
We’re working to transition away from G.M.O., as far away as we can get.But then these tests come along, and we need to better understand where the glyphosate they’re finding is coming from. Maybe it’s from something that’s not even in our supply chain, and so we’re missing it. ~Rob Michalak, global director of social mission at Ben & Jerry’s.’
