Swap guide: Rice

Rice is a pantry staple, and people often ask about it. Here is what we could source, and the rice-based products on ByeGly.

Why rice comes up

We haven't found a source that ties pre-harvest glyphosate use to rice. The crops the sources we use name for pre-harvest use are grains such as wheat, oats and barley, and pulses such as lentils, peas, chickpeas and dry beans. See Pre-harvest spraying. We don't make a claim about rice that we can't source.
For what government testing programs reported, by food type, see What residue testing has found.

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.

See How to read a label, Certifications explained and How we verify.

Certified plain rice

No certified plain rice is on store shelves yet. The only certified plain rice we've found is sold to businesses, not to shoppers, so we don't list it. When a certified plain rice is sold to shoppers, we'll add it here. You can request a product you'd like us to check.

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.

Pasta: see the pasta guide. Bread: see the bread guide.

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.
