The girls’ girls of the US are responding to the latest claims that her cookies contain “toxic” metals and other potentially harmful ingredients.
A study of mothers of the non -profit group throughout America, in partnership with GMMSCIENCE, claimed that Girl Scout cookies were tested for pollutants and found to contain traces of toxic and glyphosis metals, which is a herbicide commonly used to kill weeds.
Joe Rogan on Monday referred to the report on his podcast, calling them cookies “toxic [expletive]. ”
A spokesman for the Girl Scout of USA told Fox News Digital this week, however, that its cookies are safe and meet the entire standard of food administration and US drugs (FDA).
“The health and safety of our clients is our main advantage,” Girl Scout, based in New York City, told the Fox News Digital in a statement.
“All Girl Scout cookies are produced by our trusted licensed ovens, who are leaders in their industry and adhere to the rigorous food safety standard set by the FDA and other relevant authorities,” the group also said.
The study found that 22 of the 25 cookie samples tested positive for all five metals – aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, according to mothers throughout America.
Thin miners were found to contain the highest level of glyphosate – while peanut butter potatoes had the highest level of toxic metals, mothers claimed throughout America.
In a February. 6 After her official blog, the Girl Scouts of USA issued a response to the report.
“Stay safe: Girl Scout cookies are safe to consume,” she said.
Girls’ girls continued to claim that environmental pollutants, who can include heavy metals, “can naturally get to the ground.”
“This means that almost all foods that use plant -based ingredients, including organic foods, can contain trace amounts,” according to the blog. “This does not mean that these foods are harmful to consume.”
Girl Scout also said that glyphosate “is found almost everywhere in the food chain”.
“The amounts of glyphosate tracks can be found in fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals, ripe goods and other food goods and drinks,” the blog said.
Similarly, small amounts of heavy metals can be naturally found in the environment, including in food products, the second in the air, water and soil exposure. These metals are not added to the girls’ girl biscuits.
Girl Scouts said its ovens “confirmed that reported levels do not present a concern for food safety for our customers.”
A “Question and Answer” page about the Glyphosate found on the FDA website provides more details about the use of herbicides in certain crops.
“Some trace amounts of pesticides, or chemical residues of pesticides, can stay in or in some ancient after they are harvested,” FDA said.
“The role of the FDA is to ensure that the chemical residues of pesticides in or in household and imported foods do not exceed the boundaries set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).”
EPA “has created tolerance for glyphosate in a wide range of crops of human and animal food, including corn, soybeans, oil seeds, grains and some fruits and vegetables.”
“According to EPA, Glyphosate has a low toxicity for humans.”
Some social media posts mistakenly suggested that Girl Scout cookies were remembered.
The girls’ girls of the US were around 1912.
The first registered cookies sales to finance the activities of the troops were in 1917.
Today’s debate and concern about ingredients in many ordinary foods such as Make America Healthy (Maha) gains steam with the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As Secretary of Health and Human Services.
