General Mills Inc. will drop the “100% Natural” tag from its Nature Valley bars, thanks to a lawsuit.
Consumer groups alleged that laboratory testing had revealed traces of the pesticide glyphosate (commonly known as RoundUp) in the bars. General Mills settled the lawsuit and confirmed that it will change the “Made with 100% Natural Whole Grain Oats” label on its product. However, the company didn’t admit or deny any wrongdoing.
Earlier this month, Monsanto Co. - the maker of RoundUp - lost a case in a San Francisco court against a man who claimed that exposure to the chemical had caused his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Mosanto was ordered to pay $289 million in damages. Bayer AG, the owner of Mosanto, said that it will appeal the decision.
