Florida Releases Bread Tests Finding 'Triple-Digit' Glyphosate in Several Popular Brands

Officials cast the disclosure as a transparency push to inform consumers, aiming to spur federal action.

Overview

  • At a Lake Worth Beach briefing, Gov. Ron DeSantis, First Lady Casey DeSantis, and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo unveiled independent lab results from the Healthy Florida First initiative.
  • Eight bread products were tested, with six showing detectable glyphosate, including Nature’s Own Butter Bread and Perfectly Crafted White, Wonder Bread Classic White, and Sara Lee Honey Wheat.
  • Dave’s Killer Bread varieties were reported as positive at lower levels, while Sara Lee Artesano White and Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse White showed no detectable glyphosate.
  • WPBF noted the measured residues were well below current EPA allowable limits, even as Ladapo said glyphosate may have no safe exposure level and cited widespread human exposure.
  • The state posted detailed results at exposingfoodtoxins.com and said additional food categories will be tested as part of its ongoing consumer disclosure effort.
