Thanks for reaching out to us with your question, Richard.

While the use of glyphosate on non-organic wheat is federally approved for use by farmers at this time, our team continues to work thoughtfully with the farmers who supply our wheat. We’re particularly proud of innovations we’ve brought to our non-organic White Whole Wheat Flour, which is the first product in our Field-to-Flour program. As part of this program, we’ve been able to introduce steps which allow traceability of the wheat back to the farm it’s sourced from and set specific guidelines around crop management. This includes not permitting the use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest application on the white winter wheat it’s milled from. We encourage you to learn more about our Identity-Preserved White Whole Wheat, here.

Similarly, we continue to offer and support our full line of certified 100% organic flours, where the use of glyphosate is prohibited. We utilize third-party certification to enforce strict guidelines set by USDA organic certification. In addition to this, we’ve recently partnered with Clif Bar to fund organic grain research at Washington State University’s Bread Lab in order to further the development of organic agriculture. We’re not stopping there, though, and you can be sure that we’ll continue to work with our supply chain, from farmer to mill to bag, to ensure we’re offering the best products we can to our customers.

Kindly,

Jesse@KAF
