Foodstirs Becomes the Groundbreaking First-Ever Glyphosate Residue-Free Certified, Nationally Distributed Organic Food Brand
Sustainable Baking Mix Brand Achieves Glyphosate Residue-Free Certifications for Organic Chewy Oat Bar Mixes
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Foodstirs Modern Baking, the most sustainable organic baking mix brand modernizing the industry, proudly announces that all three of its bake-your-own Organic chewy oat bar mixes have been certified by The Detox Project as Glyphosate Residue-Free, making Foodstirs the only nationally distributed organic food brand to receive this trailblazing certification. Additionally, the remaining portfolio of Foodstirs products are currently being tested to ensure their entire line of products receive this groundbreaking certification.
"Our mission is to provide the cleanest food possible using the purest forms of agriculture. We knew when we founded Foodstirs that we wanted to help families create new and meaningful experiences. This begins with making sure that our products are free from harmful chemicals so parents, kids and all consumers can enjoy upgraded home baking in the purest way," said Foodstirs President/COO & Co-founder Greg Fleishman. "The Glyphosate Residue-Free certification reinforces our commitment to upholding the highest standards."
Glyphosate acts as the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killer and the most heavily used pesticide in the world. Despite being prohibited in organic production, glyphosate has made its way into the organic food supply, testing heavily in oat-based foods like oatmeal, granola, snack bars and breakfast cereals. As a probable human carcinogen according to the World Health Organization, glyphosate is on the cusp of becoming a house-hold name that consumers will want to seek more education around. Foodstirs felt a moral obligation to obtain the Glyphosate Residue-Free certification to give consumers peace of mind and transparency into its product line. With oats being the biggest offenders to glyphosate, Foodstirs made it their mission to have all three of their Organic Chewy Oat Bar Mixes certified by The Detox Project.
The following Foodstirs Organic Chewy Oat Bar Mixes products have been certified by The Detox Project as Glyphosate Residue-Free:
- Foodstirs Organic Very Berry Chocolate Chip Chewy Oat Bar Mix
- Foodstirs Organic Chocolate Coconut Chewy Oat Bar Mix
- Foodstirs Organic Cinnamon Raisin Chewy Oat Bar Mix
"As the first organic, nationally distributed brand to achieve a Glyphosate Residue-Free certification, we are inspired to set the tone of agriculture excellence that we hope continues to grow within our industry," said CEO and Co-founder Galit Laibow. "We are paving the way one certification at a time towards cleaner food, ensuring that our consumers get top of the line quality and taste in their Foodstirs treats."
"People don't have to think twice about what is going in their bodies with Foodstirs baking mixes," said Sarah Michelle Gellar, Chief Creative Office and Co-Founder. "Our Glyphosate Residue-Free products raise the standard of what is acceptable in products so people can feel safe and good about what they're eating."
