How we verify

ByeGly is a free guide. We don't sell the products, and we don't certify them ourselves. We check public records and show what we could confirm, with a link to where we confirmed it.

The certifications we accept

We keep each product certification separate and never merge them. Each listing shows the one its source names.

Glyphosate Residue Free

A third-party certification for a product or ingredient, not a farm. A lab accredited to ISO 17025 tests the product. To qualify, the lab must not detect glyphosate at its limit of detection, which the program says is usually about 0.01 parts per million (ppm).¹ That is a detection limit, not zero.

BioChecked Non-Glyphosate

A separate third-party certification. Its program page says the product is tested each year by a lab accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, using LC-MS/MS, with a limit of detection typically of 0.01 ppm, and that random spot checks may be run.² "Not detected" is not zero.

CleanScan Certificate of Compliance

A separate named residue certification we confirmed at the source we link. We keep it separate from the other certifications and never merge the labels. A listing is not a health claim.

USDA Certified Organic

A federal standard for how food is grown and handled, run by the USDA National Organic Program. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service says "herbicides containing the synthetic material glyphosate are prohibited" in organic crop production.³ It is a production standard, not a residue test of the finished food. See Certifications explained.

How a product gets listed

A product is listed when we confirm its certification in one of two ways. Either one is enough.

1. The brand's own product page. The brand's page for that exact product names Glyphosate Residue Free, BioChecked Non-Glyphosate, or CleanScan Certificate of Compliance. We link that page.
2. The certifier's directory. That exact product appears in the certifier's own public directory of certified products. We link that listing. Every product we list from the certifier's directory matches a directory listing that names that exact product, never only a brand or product line.

A brand-wide claim alone never counts. A line such as "all our products are certified" doesn't list a product unless the brand's page for that product, or the certifier's directory, names it. Marketplace listings, articles and reviews don't count either. We don't contact brands to confirm a listing.

The count, as of November 12, 2026

ByeGly lists 1,118 products. When the same product appeared more than once in our records, those duplicate listings are merged and the product is counted once.

What each product listing shows

• The certification, by name.
• The brand and the exact product name, with sizes or flavors where the source lists them.
• Last checked: the date we last confirmed the certification at the source.
• Source: a link to the brand's product page or the certifier's directory listing where we confirmed it.
• Store links, each with its own Link checked date.
• A barcode (UPC) when we found one with enough confidence. We don't invent barcodes; if we can't find one, we leave it blank.
• A Report a problem button.

How farms get listed

• Certification. A farm is listed only after we match it in the USDA Organic Integrity Database. We include U.S. operations with a current Certified status and a crops scope. A farm page shows the certifier, the certified scopes, Certified since, Last checked (the date of the USDA data we matched against), and a link to the Organic Integrity Database.
• Places to buy. Where a farm page lists places to buy its products (a farm stand, CSA, farmers market, online store or retail store), each one comes from the farm's own website or from a public directory. Each shows a link to its source and the date we checked it.
• On the map. A farm placed at the center of its ZIP code, rather than at its own address, is marked Approximate location. Local markets whose vendors we haven't checked appear as a separate layer labeled Local market, vendors not checked; that layer is not proof of organic certification.

What "last checked" means

• Products: the date we last confirmed the certification, on the brand's product page or in the certifier's directory. It covers the certification check only.
• Store links: each carries its own Link checked date. That date is separate from the certification check.
• Farms: the date of the USDA Organic Integrity Database data we matched the farm against.

How often we recheck

• We recheck listings once a month, on the first Monday of each month, starting December 7, 2026.
• If a date looks old, open the source link and check it yourself.

The limits

• Organic certification is not a residue test. It means glyphosate may not be used in production. It does not mean the food was tested, or that no residue is present.
• Drift is possible. Residue can reach a field or a food from spray drift, shared equipment, handling or traces in the environment. The organic regulation itself allows for "unavoidable residual environmental contamination."⁴
• "Not detected" is not zero. A residue certification means a lab did not detect glyphosate at its detection limit, in the samples it tested.
• A listing is not a health claim. It means we confirmed a named certification at a public source. It is not an endorsement, and it says nothing about anyone's health.
• We are independent. ByeGly is not affiliated with the certification programs or the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

How to report an error

Use Report a problem. Every product listing and every farm page has a Report a problem button that links there. Tell us:

• What's wrong (required): for example, the certification has changed or expired, information is incorrect, a link is broken, the listing is a duplicate, or the business or farm has closed.
• Details, and a link to a current public source if you have one. It helps us check faster.

The form has no email field; we don't collect email. We review the listing and make any needed corrections.

To ask us to look at a product that isn't listed, use Request a product. That form has no email field either.

To suggest a farm, use Suggest a farm on the map. A farm is listed only after we match it in the USDA Organic Integrity Database.
