Will Bob’s Red Mill Use Their Purchasing Power to Improve Food Quality and Safety?

On May 25, 2025, a Moms Across America supporter, Jennifer Berman Diaz, reached out to Bob’s Red Mill with a pressing concern: high levels of glyphosate residues were detected in their gluten-free flour.

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. However, due to hundreds of independent studies linking it to cancer, neurological, nervous system, liver, kidney, and reproductive damage, its use has been restricted or banned in over 60 countries.

What unfolded after Jennifer contacted them was an exchange that underscores the critical role of independent testing, transparent sourcing, and the urgent need for companies to step up for the well-being of their customers:

“A concerning level, (143 ppb) of glyphosate was found in Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour in testing performed by Moms Across America. Even smaller amounts are connected with conditions, including liver disease.
