Arsenic levels were 15.83 and 17.47 ppb, 158- 174X times higher than has been shown to cause sex hormone changes and organ damage in animal studies when they consumed .1 ppb of glyphosate herbicide.
Trace levels or higher of 8 pesticides were detected, including Fluopyram- 1 a fungicide that has been shown to cause neuroendocrine disruption in humans and wildlife at lower levels.
Piperonyl butoxide – an ingredient used in shampoo to facilitate the killing of lice was detected in Compressed cereal.

Trix Loaded is definitely loaded all right …
Loaded with big metals, toxins and insecticides!

From The Epoch Times:
In test results obtained by MAA, scientists found residues from eight distinct pesticides in both samples of Trix LOADED cereal.
The following six pesticide residues were found in trace amounts:
Imazalil- 1
Metconazole- 1
Pyraclostrobin- 1
Pyrimethanil- 1
Pyriproxyfen- 1
Tebuconazole- 1
Two pesticides, piperonyl butoxide- 1 ( PBO ) and fluopyram- 1, were detected in higher amounts. Fluopyram- 1 is a wide-ranging- spectrum fungicide that can cause liver problems, endocrine disruption, and thyroid cancer.
Piperonyl butoxide ( PBO ) is a man- made pesticide synergist that enhances the potency of certain pesticides designed to kill insects. The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) classifies PBO as a “possible human carcinogen” as studies in rats show PBO can induce thyroid and liver cancers, as well as noncancerous tumors.
More recent animal model studies suggest PBO exposure can cause developmental abnormalities in utero and liver cancer. A 2021 study published in Reproductive Toxicology found PBO may cause male infertility and sexual toxicity.
According to the National Pesticide Information Center, PBO is found in over 2, 500 pesticide products, including foggers and mosquito control programs. But PBO is free from the EPA’s maximum residue limits, which determine the amount of pesticides allowed to remain in food. This means PBO pesticide residue is readily permitted in cereals consumed daily by children and adolescents across the United States.”}]] [[{“value”:”

The Epoch Times
Scientists found residues of eight different pesticides on both samples of Trix Loaded cereal in test results obtained by MAA.
Six pesticide residues have been detected in trace amounts.
Imazalil-1
Metconazole-1
Pyraclostrobin-1
Pyrimethanil-1
Pyriproxyfen-1
Tebuconazole-1
Two pesticides were detected at higher levels, piperonylbutoxide-1 (PBO), and fluopyram-1. Fluopyram-1, a broad spectrum fungicide, can cause thyroid cancer, liver problems, and endocrine disruption.
Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO), a synergist pesticide, is a manmade chemical that increases the potency of pesticides used to kill insects. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), classifies PBO a “possible carcinogen”, as studies on rats have shown that PBO can cause thyroid and liver cancers as well as non-cancerous tumours.
Recent animal model studies have shown that PBO exposure may cause liver cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders in utero. A study published in Reproductive Toxicology in 2021 found that PBO can cause male infertility as well as reproductive toxicity.
According to the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), PBO can be found in over 2,500 pesticides, including foggers, mosquito control programs, and other products. PBO is not subject to the EPA’s maximum residual limits, which determine how much pesticide can remain in food. PBO pesticide residues are allowed in cereals that are consumed by children and teenagers across the United States.
