FDA to Begin Testing for Pesticide Glyphosate, Probable Human Carcinogen, in Food

PORTLAND, Ore.—(ENEWSPF)–February 17, 2016.   The Food and Drug Administration will finally begin testing food for glyphosate, the world’s most commonly used pesticide, according to Civil Eats. This marks the first time that a U.S. agency will routinely test for glyphosate residue in food. It comes after the Government Accountability Office released a report condemning the FDA for failing even to disclose its failure to test for glyphosate in its annual pesticide residue report.
