Swap guide: Cereal and granola

Breakfast cereal, granola and muesli are mostly oats, wheat and other grains. Here is what the sources say, and the certified options on ByeGly.

Why cereal and granola come up

• Oats. Keep it Clean says glyphosate is registered in Canada for pre-harvest weed control on oats, applied only once grain moisture is under 30% in the least mature part of the field.¹ The Northern Crops Institute lists "cold cereals" and "granola bars" among uses of oats.² See the oats guide.
• Wheat. USDA's Economic Research Service says white wheat flour is used for products including "cereals."³ In Canada, pre-harvest glyphosate on wheat was first registered in 1992.⁴
• Grain products are tested. CFIA's 2015-2016 survey reported glyphosate detected in 36.6% of 869 grain product samples, with 3.9% above Canadian limits.⁵
• Rules differ by place. The European Commission says pre-harvest uses for desiccation are not permitted in the EU.⁶

None of this tells you how a particular product was grown or made. That is what certifications are for. For what regulators have said about glyphosate, see Where agencies stand.

What to look for

• Glyphosate Residue Free or BioChecked Non-Glyphosate on the package: a lab did not detect glyphosate in the product at about 0.01 ppm. That is a detection limit, not zero, and it is not a health claim.
• USDA Certified Organic: glyphosate may not be used in organic crop production. It is not a residue test.
• Check the exact product. A certification covers the listed product, not everything a brand makes.
