another chemical apparently leaving residue in some food products to add to the list - Chlormequat (sold in NZ as Stabilan) - a herbicide

So I was startled to see the headline on the internet regarding four out of five Americans testing positive for an ‘emerging contaminant’ found in cereal brands. The information had been sourced from research published by the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology in mid-February 2024.
It turns out that, despite not having been approved for use on foods, a chemical compound called chlormequat has snuck into use on food crops like oats and is showing up in tests done on humans who consume products like Quaker Oats and Cheerios. The compound is estimated to leave the human body within 24 hours, so the 80 per cent figure is surely a strong indicator of just how ubiquitous it is in the food supply.
Message is don't eat processed cereals! They are bad for the waistline anyway.
