I believe the law disallows the use of glyphosate on any organic product. If organic wheat was being desiccated with glyphosate, as conventional grains are, it would be an international scandal.

@robknob @haidut It would be really interesting to find out if organic whole wheat is also contaminated with glyphosate. If that's the case then we would need to avoid all wheat bread and pizzas I normally eat this brand, Food for Life Ezekiel bread. It's supposed be one of the better and nutrient dense breads out there and made from 6 types of non-gmo organic grains and legumes: wheat, soybeans, barley, millet, lentils and spelt. Ezekiel 4:9

Here is a report compiled by Food Democracy Now and the Detox Project on the history of glyphosate and what foods they tested: https://usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/FDN_Glyphosate_FoodTesting_Report_p2016-3.pdf
Seems like even a few products labelled organic have glyphosate detected.
Supplement gelatin/glycine would be the easiest thing.
I don't think the testing is very strict. Normally, we wouldn't be so worried about gelatin. But normal refers to pre-GMO days. The new normal is GMO, so testing is needed. If corn or soy or wheat isn't specifically labelled as non-GMO, we have to assume it's GMO. We also have to assume corn and soy and wheat fed to pasture is also GMO. It would be safer to get gelatin from cows and ox from areas with plenty of grazing land, as the ratio of grass eaten over GMO eaten would be greater. That way, there would be less glyphosate substituting glycine in the protein synthesis ongoing in each cow or ox. I wouldn't necessarily see sourcing from Argentina or Brazil as a negative, from this standpoint.@yerrag aren't gelatin powder and collagen peptides tested for the specific amino Acid profile they contain by the manufacturer. I'm guessing some are not and many just assume but many test as it is a large part of their sales pitch. "this protein has X amount of XYZ amino acids therefore it is better for muscle growth, health, joints etc."
Traditional gelatin might actually be more risky as its not going to have its amino acid profile measured.
Great lakes collagen I think is a great product but it is produced from cows in Argentina and Brazil. I don't know about Brazil but Argentina still uses glyphosate I think.
When I do my Master Cleanse and I am on about day 5, and do the salt water flush- what flushes actually smells like pesticides. Thank you for the post @haidut. I have just started adding kroger " jello" to my smoothie- which I am sure if bad and contaminated but it is the only gelatin product that does not give me a headache. I add it to my mixed fruit and greek yogurt and water smoothies. Monsanto is getting away with murder.
I will see if the lab can test some organic breads as well. They typically prefer liquids but I think they can test solid food as well.
Haidut:We are about to find out. Yes, it is forbidden. But is it happening through indirect contamination from ground waters, bees, rain, etc? We'll see...
the following is what it says when you scroll about one third of the way down. is it possible then that the oft-maligned sulfates in wine can actually have a therapeutic effect?Interesting research on this from the academic side.

many organic regenerative farms that grow both vegetables and raise cattle are surrounded on all four sides by gmo corn and soy farms, so even the air, regardless of its direction, will contribute to contamination.We are about to find out.
