The Verdict
Quaker Breakfast contains 6.3× more glyphosate than the EWG child-safe threshold — Bobo's Oat Bars contains none.
1,014 parts per billion of glyphosate was detected in Quaker Breakfast Squares Peanut Butter by EWG 2018. That puts it in the CRITICAL tier — more than 1× 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). Bobo's Oat Bars is certified USDA Organic + Non-GMO Project — meaning it was independently tested and confirmed free of synthetic pesticide residue.
