detected glyphosate concentrations
in air and rain up to 2.5 μg/L in agricultural areas in Mississippi and
Iowa. In Europe GM soybean for food and feed was admitted in
1996. All animals and humans eating this soy chronically incorporate
unknown amounts of this herbicide. Residues of glyphosate in tissues
and organs of food animals fed with GM feed (soybean, corn, etc.) are
not considered or neglected in legislation. The influence of glyphosate
residues on the quality of animal Products intended for human food
