\"hummus-1058000_640-e1725046712859\"Alarmingly, the carcinogen glyphosate weedkiller has been found to exist in 60% of beans and lentils samples tested by labs working for the Environmental Working Group (EWG)<\/a>. Hummus and the chickpeas that are used to make it may be contaminated by high degrees of this chemical that makes up the weedkiller. Dry lentils and garbanzo flour were also affected, according to the tests. Monsanto, now Bayer, has sold glyphosate as a weedkiller for decades under the brand name Roundup, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer or IARC as a likely human carcinogen. If you believe you were harmed by hummus (or any of the beans and lentils that were tested), give the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group a call. Billions have been recovered in lawsuits with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n
