Glinda, I understand your and others concerns about glyphosate being present in foods, but I wonder how much was present...
Was it in the ppm ppb? How does that number reflect levels that might begin to be dangerous to humans?
With technology these days we can detect chemicals at very very low levels. I don't really make a habit of reading the guardian or ascribe to many of the beliefs espoused in their writing, but in your post I noticed you didn't mention either of the above (the amount of glyphosate present or the amount necessary to cause concern/harm).
I don't think detecting glyphosate at infinitesimal levels is really a cause for concern. Glyphosate is rather benign relative to most pesticides. I would wager there is far more toxic chemicals in your house besides glyphosate - like sodium hypochlorite among many others much too numerous to list.
