Testing was done by an independent laboratory using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method. Categories tested were: flour, corn flakes, instant oatmeal, bagels, yogurt, bread, frozen hash browns, potatoes, cream of wheat, eggs, non-dairy creamers, and dairy based coffee creamers. Of note is the finding that a sample of organic cage-free eggs contain more glyphosate than the allowable tolerance level. The lab found glyphosate residue levels of 169 parts per billion (ppb), while the allowable tolerance level is only 50ppb. The report acknowledges that the effects of other chemical ingredients in glyphosate formulations have not been evaluated, and the consequences of those interactions on health are not evaluated. The researchers also speculate that because animal products, such as eggs, are not sprayed directly with glyphosate, the finding of glyphosate residues in those products may indicate that the chemical is entering the food chain and bioaccumulating in animal tissues.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this is not the first time that glyphosate residues have been detected in foods and products that are not typically associated with heavy glyphosate use, or even in organic foods and products, in which the use of glyphosate is prohibited. In March 2016, <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/03\/glyphosate-found-to-contaminate-california-wine\/\">Moms Across America released a report<\/a> on glyphosate residues in California wines. The <a href=\"https:\/\/d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net\/yesmaam\/pages\/680\/attachments\/original\/1458830087\/GlyphosateContaminationinWinePressReport_%282%29.pdf?1458830087\">report<\/a> \u00a0finds \u00a0that all of the ten wines test positive for glyphosate. The highest level of glyphosate detected is nearly 30 times higher (18.74 ppb) than other wines from a 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon \u00a0sourced from a conventional, chemically farmed vineyard. The lowest level (.659 ppb) is from a biodynamic and organic vineyard, a 2013 Syrah. According to the owner of the organic vineyard, the vineyard has never been sprayed, indicating the possibility of pesticide drift from conventional agriculture, which has been <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/03\/colorado-rancher-to-be-jailed-for-pesticide-drift\/\">a real and persistent problem<\/a> for organic growers. EPA has done little to protect organic growers, who often bear the burden, both economic and otherwise, of pesticides applied to nearby conventional farmlands and vineyards. Other recent reports of the widespread presence of glyphosate residues find the chemical in <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2014\/05\/moms-tell-epa-to-ban-glyphosate-after-residues-found-in-breast-milk\/\">breast milk<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/03\/study-finds-majority-of-germans-have-glyphosate-in-their-bodies\/\">in nearly 100% of Germans<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/02\/glyphosate-residues-in-popular-german-beers\/\">in German beers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/02\/feminine-hygiene-products-tainted-with-glyphosate-other-toxic-chemicals\/\">feminine hygiene products<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/07\/carcinogenic-glyphosate-linked-to-dna-damage-as-residues-are-found-in-bread\/\">bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following the \u00a0IARC classification, \u00a0a \u00a0research study \u00a0published in \u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/ehjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12940-015-0056-1\">Environmental Health \u00a0<\/a><\/em>links long-term, ultra-low dose exposure to glyphosate in drinking water to adverse impacts on the health of liver and kidneys. The study focuses on glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), rather than pure glyphosate, unlike many of the studies that preceded it. In addition to impacts on human health, glyphosate has been linked to adverse effects on \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/08\/roundup-damages-earthworms-and-soil-biota-contributes-to-nutrient-pollution\/\">earthworms and other soil biota<\/a>, as well as \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2012\/04\/roundup-linked-to-animal-shape-changes\/\">shape changes in amphibians<\/a>. The widespread use of the chemical on genetically engineered (GE) crops has led it to be implicated in the \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/06\/epa-solicits-public-input-on-protecting-monarchs-from-herbicide-impacts\/\">decline of monarch butterflies<\/a>, whose sole habitat \u00a0to lay their eggs, milkweed plants, are being devastated as a result of incessant use of glyphosate.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/ehjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12940-016-0117-0\">scientific review<\/a> was released in February 2016 by a group of 14 \u00a0scientists, who expressed concern about the widespread use of GBHs, the lack of understanding regarding human exposure, and the potential health impacts. According to the report, U.S. agencies, such as the National Toxicology Program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and EPA, have not adequately kept up with cutting-edge research. The researchers call for the global science and regulatory community to step back and take a fresh look at glyphosate due to widespread exposure patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Pesticides advocates for a regulatory approach \u00a0that prohibits high hazard chemical use and calls for alternative assessments. The organization \u00a0suggests an approach that focuses on \u00a0safer alternatives that are proven effective, such as \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/organicfood\/index.php\">organic agriculture<\/a>. Thus, the best way to avoid glyphosate residues in a wide range of food and drinks is to buy and support organic agriculture and the USDA organic label over conventional agriculture.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17924"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17931,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17924\/revisions\/17931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
