Swap guide: Cooking oils

Cooking oils and fats come from many crops and animals. Here is what the sources say, and the certified oils and fats on ByeGly.

Why cooking oils come up

• Canola. Keep it Clean's pre-harvest glyphosate staging guide covers canola. It says to apply pre-harvest glyphosate at 50-60% seed colour change in the least mature areas of the field, when grain moisture will be under 30%.¹ None of the oils listed below are canola oil.
• Avocado groves. University of California IPM's avocado pest management guidelines list glyphosate among herbicides for weed control in avocado groves, applied to weeds rather than the trees.²

None of this tells you how a particular product was grown or made. That is what certifications are for. For what regulators have said about glyphosate, see Where agencies stand.

What to look for

• Glyphosate Residue Free or BioChecked Non-Glyphosate on the package: a lab did not detect glyphosate in the product at about 0.01 ppm. That is a detection limit, not zero, and it is not a health claim.
• USDA Certified Organic: glyphosate may not be used in organic crop production. It is not a residue test.
• Check the exact product. A certification covers the listed product, not everything a brand makes.

Only the exact products listed on ByeGly are certified as far as we can confirm. Other products from the same brand are not on our list unless they appear there.

Each listing on ByeGly shows the certification, a Source link to the brand page where we saw it, the date we last checked it, and a Buy link to the brand's own site. Where the brand's site has a store locator or names retailers, we show it next to the brand.

Don't see what you buy? If it isn't listed, it's not on our list yet. Use Request a product to ask us to look at it. We add a listing only if we can confirm a named certification on the brand's own public site.
