Glyphosate12.6 ppbof 160 ppb

8% of the limitEWG 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.

Aminomethylphosphonic Acid0.7 ppbof 160 ppb

<1% of the limitNo 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.
