Girl Scout Cookies. Synonymous with childhood, community, and trust. An annual tradition where young girls sell boxes to fund their activities.
A new investigation has ripped away the facade.
Here is what they found inside these iconic cookies:
• 100% contained Glyphosate, the controversial herbicide in Roundup.
• 88% contained toxic heavy metals: Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury.
• Thin Mints had glyphosate levels 334 TIMES higher than what experts consider harmful.
• Peanut Butter Patties were laden with Lead and alarming levels of Aluminum.
This isn’t just “unhealthy.” It is systemic poisoning, wrapped in nostalgia and sold by children.
The organization, Girl Scouts USA, generates nearly $800 million in annual revenue from this. When presented with these findings, their response was a deafening silence.

In those cookies, according to the analysis commissioned by Moms Across America and GMO Science, four out of five heavy metals tested for were present in all the cookie samples, and most of the 25 cookie samples tested had all five: aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury.
