The Girl Scouts are refuting a recent claim by Joe Rogan that its cookies are toxic, a statement he recently made on his popular podcast.
Rogan cited a flawed study by Moms Across America that found that all Girl Scout cookies contain toxic metals. On his podcast Monday, he called the cookies “toxic as (expletive).”
In a statement to USA TODAY on Friday, a Girl Scouts of the USA spokesperson said that “the health and safety of our customers is our top priority.
“All Girl Scout Cookies are produced by our trusted licensed bakers, who are leaders in their industry and adhere to rigorous food safety standards set by the FDA and other relevant authorities,” they said. “When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, proceeds stay local, every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies supports local troops in your community.”
Here is what to know about the study and what Girl Scouts of the USA said concerning its findings.
