Swap guide: Snacks

Chips, puffs, pretzels and bars are made from many crops, including oats and corn. Here is what the sources say, and the certified snacks on ByeGly.

Why snacks come up

  • Oat bars. Keep it Clean says glyphosate is registered in Canada for pre-harvest weed control on oats.1 The Northern Crops Institute lists "granola bars" among uses of oats.2
  • Corn is tested. In 2022, USDA's Pesticide Data Program (PDP) reported glyphosate "detected in 73 samples (23.6 percent)" of 309 corn grain samples, and said all residue detections were lower than the established tolerances.3

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.
