Testing just revealed the healthy bread darling Organic Dave’s Killer Bread tested for detectable levels of Glyphosate.
Follow the money…
Dave’s was acquired by Flowers Foods in 2015 for $275M.
They don’t just own premium organic brands like Dave’s but also:
- Nature’s Own (tested at 132-190 ppb glyphosate)
- Wonder Bread (tested at 173 ppb glyphosate)
- Simple Mills (acquired January 2025 for $795 million)
Think about that for a second: The same corporation that produces Wonder Bread (one of the most processed, conventional breads on the market that tested high for glyphosate) also owns the “cleanest bread label on bread shelves”
Industry articles show the original Oregon bakery started with a more manual, rack‑oven process and that, since the acquisition, Flowers has “upgraded” that bakery with more automation in moulding and panning.
The original founder, Dave Dahl, has not been with the company for 10 years yet his caricature is plastered over all the packaging.
This isn’t a Dave’s problem, it’s a systemic industrial food issue.
