Heavy metals and other toxins can probably be found in all manner of foods in our pantries if we were to use sensitive enough tests, experts say.

Girl Scout Cookies are on sale throughout the area until the end of March. Here's where you can find them this weekend.

The Girl Scouts is being sued for allegedly selling cookies that contain "heavy metals." The organization pushes back against the claims.

Girl Scouts of the U.S. say their cookies are safe to eat despite a report that found heavy metals in some cookies. What do experts say?

The class action against the Girl Scouts of America and manufacturers Ferrero U.S.A. and ABC Bakers was filed on Monday, March 10.

Last month, a non-peer-reviewed study commissioned by Moms Across America alleged that Girl Scout Cookies had toxins in them.

The Girl Scouts of the USA denied those claims last month saying that heavy metals occur naturally in soil and that glyphosate is widely used in agriculture and is typically found in the food chain. Bakers also confirmed the levels found in the cookies “do not pose a safety concern to our customers.”

A New York woman has filed a class action lawsuit accusing the iconic Girl Scout cookies of have dangerous levels of heavy metals, lead, cadmium, mercury and pesticide residue.
