Tests specifically for glyphosate and its breakdown product AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid). Glyphosate is the world's most widely used herbicide (the active ingredient in Roundup). Studies have linked chronic exposure to disruption of gut bacteria, potential carcinogenicity, and endocrine disruption. AMPA persists in soil and water even longer than glyphosate itself.

How The Test Is Performed

The food sample is dissolved in a liquid solution, then passed through a machine (LC-MS/MS) that separates and identifies individual chemicals by their molecular weight. This method can detect glyphosate and AMPA at parts-per-billion levels — like finding a single drop in an Olympic swimming pool.
