Monsanto, and its German owner Bayer, maintain that glyphosate does not pose a health risk, and government officials say that residues of glyphosate and other pesticides found in food products are almost always so low that they are not considered harmful.

      They spend lots of time and money on worrying about ingredients; they could as well sell bags of chia seeds or space protein goo in jars.
