According to E!News:
Parks states in the documents that while Rachael Ray Nutrish "aggressively advertises" and promotes the products as "natural," these "claims are false, deceptive, and misleading."
"Instead, the products contain the unnatural chemical glyphosate, a potent biocide and endocrine disruptor, with detrimental health effects that are still becoming known," the documents claim.
According to the lawsuit, "Tests conducted by an independent laboratory revealed that glyphosate is present in the Products." But as I explain in my food science video below, it's almost certain that glyphosate contamination could be found in nearly all pet food products and brands.
Glyphosate has become so ubiquitous that nearly every food item in the grocery store -- pet food, human food or otherwise -- can test "positive" for glyphosate when a sensitive enough instrument is used. That's the problem with this deadly molecule: It gets into everything, contaminating water, soils, foods and even the air.
According to media reports, the plaintiff in this lawsuit is seeking to block all sales of the Nutrish dog food brand. But to what end? Every alternative would also contain glyphosate, unless it were certified organic. This idea that Rachael Ray's dog food brand is the only dog food containing glyphosate is flatly ludicrous.
As I explain in my video below, the basis of this lawsuit seems flimsy, given that Rachael Ray's dog food brand isn't labeled "organic" or claiming to contain zero pesticides / herbicides. Also, as I explain, nobody is reporting the actual concentration of glyphosate supposedly found in these pet food products. That's a big red flag. Is it one molecule of glyphosate? Is it 50 parts per trillion? If it's anything under 1 ppb, I'm not worried about it. There's probably at least 100 parts per trillion of glyphosate in everything these days, because it literally falls right out of the air. (Yes, there's glyphosate in the atmosphere now. It's impossible to grow food that isn't contaminated with it at some level...)

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
