The Environmental Working Group and a handful of food companies have petitioned EPA to reduce the tolerance level for glyphosate in oats and to ban use of the weed killer as a pre-harvest drying agent for oats. The request comes after EWG released a controversial report earlier this year showing trace amounts of the herbicide in popular oat-based foods such as children's cereal and granola bars.
