Thanks for taking a moment to share your thoughts, Kenneth. Your desire to see glyphosate (often referred to as RoundUp) banned from the market entirely is heard, along with your frustration. While the use of glyphosate on non-organic wheat is federally approved for use by farmers, 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 featured in this article. As part of our Field to Flour 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. In addition to this, we also continue to offer and support our full line of certified 100% organic flours, where the use of glyphosate is prohibited; as well as pursue other initiatives such as our recent partnership with Clif Bar to fund organic grain research. Our team takes to heart the fact that people care about the way their food is produced. It’s why we gladly offer options to suit different needs and why 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
