I was recently excited to notice an article about the proper brochos
for Nature Valley Granola Bars.The shaaleh sounded perfect for this website .And yes , the COR article
-granolagate-exploring-the-controversial-question-what-bracha-do-we-make-on-granola-bars
is definitely worth any kosher conscious consumer to explore.
But then , I started eagerly to look into ‘Nature Valley” and I lost much of my enthusiasm.

According to the complaint, tests from an independent laboratory found the amount of glyphosate in Nature Valley products was 0.45 parts per million. EPA standards allow for 30 parts per million in grains.
It seems you can’t always rely on the label, and ,unfortunately many of our finest are more interested in the minutea of halacha, than of dealing with life saving issues.
