Heineken was tested in US PIRG's 2019 report on pesticide residues in alcoholic
beverages. The results showed 20 ppb of glyphosate — a figure comparable to
light domestic beers. While below the EWG child-safe benchmark, the data
underscores how widespread glyphosate use has become in grain-based products.
