Bread is safe for you and your family. The grain foods supply chain delivers safe, accessible, and affordable nutrition to millions of Americans every day.
Glyphosate helps farmers control invasive weeds that can harm crops. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulate the use of glyphosate together, including residues that could be on or in food products.
While claims of glyphosate in the food supply are meant to scare consumers, it is important to recognize that the trace levels reported in Florida’s test results are more than 100 times lower than levels that could pose a risk to human health according to the EPA.
Millers follow the science, and more than 40 years of rigorous monitoring and scientific evaluation have determined that glyphosate use on food crops is safe. The health and safety of our consumers will continue to be the milling industry’s top priority.
