Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, can contaminate honey when bees forage in areas where it has been sprayed. Bees can collect nectar from plants treated with glyphosate, and this nectar, which can contain glyphosate residues, is then converted into honey.
Glyphosate testing in honey is a proactive measure to ensure food safety, comply with international standards, and monitor potential contamination. While most honey samples meet safety requirements, testing is crucial for export purposes and for maintaining consumer confidence in the product's purity. Some countries have established Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for glyphosate in honey.
You can opt-in to receive glyphosate trace level reporting (down to 0.002 mg/kg) as part of your routine honey testing.
Results for routine testing are available in two working days and the next working day for urgent testing.
