Why test
Why test for Glyphosate + AMPA?
Tests for glyphosate and its breakdown product AMPA. Glyphosate is the world's most widely used herbicide — the active ingredient in Roundup — and regulators worldwide set limits on how much may remain in food. Its cancer classification is genuinely disputed: the WHO's IARC calls it a probable human carcinogen, while the U.S. EPA and European EFSA have concluded it's unlikely to pose a cancer risk at expected exposures. Residue levels aren't on the label, and they vary between products.

How Canopy shares data
Glyphosate + AMPA (added together), compared across the shelf.
A concentration on its own doesn't tell you much — what matters for health is the dose, how much you actually take in. So each bar shows the amount of contaminant in a single serving (the lab's concentration × the labeled serving size, with raw numbers below), measured against daily-intake guidance from several organizations — some of which scales with body weight, so you can enter different weights for yourself or your household. And because we compare products within the same category and subcategory, you can see how similar options stack up and pick a lower-contaminant one.
Enter your body weight
Health limits that scale with body weight recalculate everywhere below. Kept for this session only — not saved to your account.
Products are graphed and sorted by their share of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for a serving of the product. Each regulation is its own dashed guidance line — mouse over a line to see how a serving compares to daily intake limits from different organizations. Data is shown on a log scale for better visibility. Each status column compares that intake against one organization's daily intake limit.

How the test is performed
The food sample is dissolved in an aqueous solution to extract the analytes, 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.
