Swap guide: Flour

Flour is mostly milled wheat. Here is what the sources say about wheat and other flour crops, and the certified flour on ByeGly.

Why flour comes up

• Flour is mostly wheat. USDA's Economic Research Service says Hard Red Winter wheat "is principally used to make bread flour," that flour from Soft Red Winter wheat "is used for cakes, cookies, and crackers," and that white wheat flour "is used for noodle products, crackers, cereals, and crusted white breads."¹
• Wheat can be treated before harvest. In Canada, pre-harvest glyphosate on wheat was first registered in 1992, to be applied at 30% grain moisture or less, typically 7 to 14 days before harvest.² University of Minnesota Extension describes applying glyphosate to wheat at the hard dough stage, with a seven-day pre-harvest interval.³
• Chickpeas too. Keep it Clean's 2026 advisory says glyphosate is registered in Canada for pre-harvest weed control on chickpeas, lentils, peas and dry beans.⁴
• Grain products are tested. CFIA's 2015-2016 survey reported glyphosate detected in 36.6% of 869 grain product samples, with 3.9% above Canadian limits.⁵

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.
