bigwave Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Active Ingredient in Weedkiller Found in 19 of 20 Top Beer and Wine Brands, Study Says: A total of 5 wines, 13 beers, and 2 hard ciders were examined. The wine brands tested were Barefoot, Beringer, Frey (organic), Inkarri Estates (organic), and Sutter Home. The beer brands were Budweiser, Coors, Corona, Guinness, Heineken, Miller, Peak (organic), Sam Adams, Samuel Smith (organic), Sierra Nevada, Stella Artois, Tsingtao, and New Belgium. Ace Perry Hard Cider and Stella Artois Cidre was also tested. The report found it particularly concerning that glyphosate was discovered in three out of four organic alcoholic beverages tested despite the fact that weed killer products like Roundup have long been prohibited in the making of organic beer and wine.
