Thanks for getting in touch with your question, Michael. 

For non-organic wheat, glyphosate (often referrings to as Roundup) is federally approved for use by farmers. Any application must comply with its regulatory approval, and, if used, residual glyphosate levels in wheat should remain well below the federally mandated level for wheat of 30 parts per million.

With that said, 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 spring wheat it’s milled from.

Though I understand that you've been having some difficulty locating bags of our organic flour at the moment due to unprecedented demand, I can reconfirm that for our full line of certified 100% organic flours, glyphosate is prohibited from use. We offer our organic line to ensure that our customers have options to suit their individual needs. Our organic flour line is independently verified by QAI (Quality Assurance International) to ensure organic certification requirements are strictly followed.
