In reply to the discussion: 93% of Americans have glyphosate in their bodies - UC Cal [View all]womanofthehills
(10,244 posts)167. I'm not talking about measuring before application - here is the EPA chart
I'm talking about the pesticide residue allowed on the food for sale. Check out how high animal feed is and soybean.

§180.364 Glyphosate; tolerances for residues.
(a) General. (1) Tolerances are established for residues of glyphosate, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below resulting from the application of glyphosate, the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, the ethanolamine salt of glyphosate, the dimethylamine salt of glyphosate, the ammonium salt of glyphosate, and the potassium salt of glyphosate. Compliance with the following tolerance levels is to be determined by measuring only glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine).
