Weedkiller found in wide range of breakfast foods aimed at children
Cancer-linked herbicide, sold as Roundup by Monsanto, present in 45 products including granola, snack bars and Cheerios
Significant levels of the weedkilling chemical glyphosate have been found in an array of popular breakfast cereals, oats and snack bars marketed to US children, a new study has found.
Tests revealed glyphosate, the active ingredient in the popular weedkiller brand Roundup, present in all but two of the 45 oat-derived products that were sampled by the Environmental Working Group, a public health organization.
Nearly three in four of the products exceeded what the EWG classes safe for children to consume. Products with some of the highest levels of glyphosate include granola, oats and snack bars made by leading industry names Quaker, Kellogg’s and General Mills, which makes Cheerios.

Bayer would have hoped that the filthy name of ' Monsanto ' would disappear when it bought the company in 2016.
Maybe it has- but its legacy of poisons hasn't.
' Bayer ' has become the new devil in your backyard.

Profits over people, american style capitalism.
Bayer was literally the gas maker for the nazis in WWII
During World War II, IG Farben used slave labor in factories that it built adjacent to German concentration camps, notably Auschwitz,[29] and the sub-camps of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp.[30] IG Farben purchased prisoners for human experimentation of a sleep-inducing drug and later reported that all test subjects died.[31][32] IG Farben employees frequently said, "If you don’t work faster, you’ll be gassed."[33] IG Farben held a large investment in Degesch which produced Zyklon B used to gas and kill prisoners during the Holocaust.[34]
After World War II, the Allies broke up IG Farben and Bayer reappeared as an individual business "inheriting" many of IG Farben's assets.[31] Fritz ter Meer, an IG Farben board member from 1926 to 1945 who directed operations at the IG Farben plant at Auschwitz, was sentenced to seven years in prison during the IG Farben Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. He was elected Bayer's supervisory board head in 1956

I have to ask- in the knowledge that there are introduced cancer-causing chemicals in these named products- are you still going to buy this shit ?

Following the unprecedented $289mn verdict against Monsanto in California, Hanoi is seeking justice for victims of exposure to the Agent Orange – the notorious chemical the firm supplied to the US military during the Vietnam War.
After a San Francisco jury proved Monsanto not invincible and ordered the chemical giant to pay $289 million to a school worker who argued he got terminal cancer after using its Roundup herbicide, Vietnam has also demanded compensation from the St. Louis-based company.
“The verdict serves as a legal precedent which refutes previous claims that the herbicides made by Monsanto and other chemical corporations in the US and provided for the US army in the war are harmless,” deputy foreign ministry spokesperson Nguyen Phuong Tra said Thursday. “Vietnam has suffered tremendous consequences from the war, especially with regard to the lasting and devastating effects of toxic chemicals, including Agent Orange.”

I am about to make a year's worth of pesto. I might poison them all on my own.
As far as chemicals, they make a product. Product comes with tons of warnings. What people do with it is on them.
