Quote:"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nation’s chief food safety regulator, plans to start testing certain foods for residues of the world’s most widely used weed killer after the World Health Organization’s cancer experts last year declared the chemical a probable human carcinogen.

The FDA’s move comes amid growing public concern about the safety of the herbicide known as glyphosate, and comes after the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) rebuked the agency for failing to do such assessments and for not disclosing that short-coming to the public.

Private companies, academics, and consumer groups have recently launched their own testing and claim to have detected glyphosate residues in breast milk, honey, cereal, wheat flour, soy sauce, infant formula, and other substances.

FDA officials dubbed the issue “sensitive” and declined to provide details of the plans, but FDA spokeswoman Lauren Sucher said the agency was moving forward to test for glyphosate for the first time in the agency’s history.

“The agency is now considering assignments for Fiscal Year 2016 to measure glyphosate in soybeans, corn, milk, and eggs, among other potential foods,” she told Civil Eats. Soybeans and corn are common ingredients in an array of food products and genetically engineered (or GMO) varieties are commonly sprayed with glyphosate."

Guess there is nothing like being a day late and a dollar short. What is striking is the FDA has never done any testing on Glyphosate at all. The only way that happens and everyone watching this topic knows the government positions given to ex Monsanto executives in Ag, FDA, and EPA. Why do we have a FDA if they don't test for these things? Of course I am a tin hatter for conspiracy and typically blown off for asking such questions of people but we will see who has the last laugh.

There is more detail is this much longer article if you're interested in reading about this topic. Some of us have been following it from the beginning somehow the FDA seems to be guilted into this research after WHO declared it as a known carcinogen following the state of California. Particularly scary is the Glyphosate residue found in mother milk.

To be honest, I am really surprised that the FDA is actually going to do this

Like you stated, a little late into the game now that most of the food supply around the globe has been tainted with Roundup

Thank goodness for California listing Glyphosate as a cancer causing agent
Believe the awareness about the true dangers of this chemical, is due to their actions

Sad thing is, no long term studies have been done on glyphosate
And now millions and millions of various foods have been consumed with that on there.

Thanks for the heads up on this!!
Albeit late, it is good news that finally the FDA might actually look into this
