According to Florida officials, glyphosate residues were detected in six of eight bread products tested.
The state’s Department of Health described the testing as part of a broader effort to increase transparency around contaminants in everyday foods.
Officials stated that the results are intended to help families make informed choices and highlighted what they described as “troubling levels” of glyphosate in several products.
In response to the heightened attention surrounding the announcement, the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), the North American Millers’ Association (NAMA) and the American Bakers Association (ABA) issued a joint statement to reassure consumers and reaffirm the safety of bread products nationwide.
