Canada Finds Glyphosate in One Third of Food Products

"Canada's food regulator has found traces of a controversial pesticide in nearly one-third of food products — and residue levels above the acceptable limits in about four per cent of grain products.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency published its report on glyphosate testing on its website this week.

Government and scientific agencies in Canada, the U.S. and Europe consider glyphosate safe for humans at certain levels, but there is a large contingent of scientists and environmentalists around the world who are skeptical.

The CFIA tested 3,188 food products for glyphosate residue and compared the results to Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) set by Health Canada."
