The Verdict
Cheerios Oat contains 7.3× more glyphosate than the EWG child-safe threshold — Cascadian Farm Organic O's contains none.
1,171 parts per billion of glyphosate was detected in Cheerios Oat Crunch Cinnamon by EWG 2018. That puts it in the CRITICAL tier — more than 1.2× the EWG's 1,000 ppb action level and far above the 160 ppb child-safe benchmark. Glyphosate is classified by IARC as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A). Cascadian Farm Organic O's is certified USDA Organic + Non-GMO Project + Regen Organic — meaning it was independently tested and confirmed free of synthetic pesticide residue.
