Measured by an independent lab and compared against published safety limits.

Aminomethylphosphonic AcidNDof 160 ppb

Not detectedNo regulator publishes a food concentration limit for AMPA alone. EFSA (2023 glyphosate conclusion) and JMPR state glyphosate's toxicological reference values apply to AMPA (shared group ADI), so Tallow applies glyphosate's benchmark: EWG children's health benchmark 160 ppb (0.01 mg/day in a 60 g serving). Water-only references: EU drinking water 0.1 ug/L per pesticide/metabolite; Minnesota MDH guidance 1,000 ppb.

GlyphosateNDof 160 ppb

Not detectedEWG children's health benchmark 160 ppb (0.01 mg/day in a 60 g serving). EPA tolerance for glyphosate on oats is far higher at 30 ppm (30,000 ppb), 40 CFR 180.364.
