Taiyo International (Minneapolis, MN) has announced that its Sunfiber and SunCran ingredients have achieved Glyphosate Residue Free certification from The Detox Project. The certification launched in May of 2017, and attests that a product has gone through analysis for levels of glyphosate by third-party ISO-certified laboratories at least three times a year.
“Being certified by The Detox Project as glyphosate residue free is just one more reason that our customers can trust Sunfiber and SunCran,” comments Scott Smith, vice president of Taiyo International, in a press release. “This certification ensures that these ingredients do not contain the world’s most common herbicide, further enhancing their already strong clean-label appeal. Taiyo stands ready to assist all of its customers with earning this certification.”
Products carrying the Glyphosate Residue Free icon may not contain glyphosate residues greater than government-recognized limits of detection for food, commodity and supplement samples (usually 0.01 ppm), and contain lower levels than default government Maximum Residue Limits in the European Union and Japan.
