It's quite shocking that US MRE's were included in the tests... and the teriyaki beef sticks found in newer MRE's contain a banned veterinarian drug. :shock:

The laboratory analysis showed that 100% of the military food samples tested contained pesticides. Ninety-five percent contained glyphosate, which has been linked to cancers, liver and kidney disease, and neurological problems. Heavy metals were found in 100% of samples

Though I am skeptical since it is "Moms across America"...
