I feel they should have tested their oats to ensure their washing process cleaned off the Roundup or refused oats where Roundup had been sprayed on behalf of their customers. I have eaten Quaker Oats every morning for many years. Their processes for making oats for oatmeal is hands down the best IMO. So we truly must stop this where it started! I love Quaker Oats. Shouldn’t we be suing the growers and the mfg of Roundup too? (The growers for deliberately spraying food (oats) with cancer causing Roundup! Roundup’s manufacturer because they probably told the farmers to use it this way.) Won’t the farmers continue to do this if they aren’t included in this lawsuit? I called EWG and they said they are finding similar results in their tests on wheat too.
Steckler seeks to represent a multi-state Class of consumers who purchased Quaker oats products during the applicable statue of limitations in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Washington.
He claims that selling their products with glyphosate is deceptive, fraudulent behavior and is a violation of consumer protection laws including California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act. Steckler aims to hold Quaker Oats accountable for selling an allegedly dangerous product containing the pesticide glyphosate which is classified as a probable carcinogen. “No reasonable consumer would purchase the Products knowing that they contained glyphosate.” “Because it is a probable carcinogen with no nutritional value, the presence of any amount of glyphosate in the Products, no matter whether above or below regulatory limits, is material to reasonable consumers,” the Quaker Oats class action argues.
Not only is glyphosate a pesticide not fit for human consumption, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reportedly determined that the chemical is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
