Organic Consumers Action today announced its endorsement of Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) for Democratic National Committee Chair.
General Mills claims that its Nature Valley granola bars are “Made with 100% Natural Whole Grain Oats.” Given that claim, and given that there are no commercially grown genetically engineered oats (at least, not yet), you’d naturally expect Nature Valley granola bars to be free of glyphosate, right?

We thought you’d like to know. We also thought you’d agree that General Mills should be forced to stop deceiving you and millions of other consumers.

Code §§ 28-3901, et seq. by making “false and misleading representations and omissions” about its Nature Valley products.
