Frequently Asked Questions
Can I test multiple foods with one kit?
No, each kit is designed for one solid food sample. If you have multiple foods to test, you’ll need multiple kits.
How accurate is this test?
Very. Your sample is tested in a certified lab using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a precise method for herbicide analysis.
Are DIY test strips reliable for glyphosate?
No. Test strips can’t reliably detect glyphosate at low levels. Only lab testing can give you accurate, actionable results.
What foods are most likely to contain glyphosate?
Crops like oats, wheat, soy, and corn are often treated with glyphosate-based herbicides. This test can help you know for sure.
