News broke the announcement of a lawsuit against 31 brands of wines for
high levels of inorganic arsenic. In 2016, beer testing in Germany also revealed residues of
glyphosate in every single sample tested, even independent beers. Moms Across America released test results of 12 California wines that were all
found to be positive for glyphosate in 2016. We tested further and released
new findings last week of glyphosate in all of the most popular brands of wines in the world, the majority of which are from the U.S., and in batch test results in American beer.
Drift, polluted irrigation water, soil, and through a new phenomena: pesticide rains. Glyphosate and other toxic chemical particles remain in evaporated water or
dust clouds which form into rain and can contaminate vineyards and grain crops thousands of miles away.
The wine brands tested included Gallo, Beringer, Mondavi, Barefoot and Sutter Home. Beer brands tested included Budweiser, Busch, Coors, Michelob, Miller Lite, Sam Adams, Samuel Smith, Peak Organic and Sierra Nevada.
The EPA is currently accepting comments until April 30, 2018, on the re-registration or denial of the license for glyphosate. Leave a comment, cite a scientific study found in this article, and protect grape growers and grain farmers too.
