Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been buying this product for a couple of months now, and absolutely love it — I have tried other powders, but found most are too “earthy” in flavor, or too gritty after blending. So, with that being said, after buying it a few times, the price jumped and then I really started reading the “bad reviews” and came across lots of folks saying that after testing, they found high levels of Glyphosate and other pesticides/herbicides. I asked a question on here, as to if there have been any updates on the topic, and no response; so, I emailed the company directly, and to my excitement, and hopefully many others, here is their response: Orgain takes issues concerning food safety and quality very seriously. We are committed to manufacturing the cleanest protein and nutritional products possible. Glyphosate is unfortunately one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and one of the most pervasive chemicals in our food system. Reducing the use of glyphosate is one of the motivations to grow crops organically and produce or purchase Organic products. Because of our concern that glyphosate can migrate to organic fields, and to ensure that we are holding our organic pea suppliers to the highest standards, Orgain instituted a protocol in late 2018 that requires every lot of organic pea protein to be tested by an accredited global third party lab for glyphosate, glufosinate, and aminomethlyphosphonic acid (AMPA). Since instituting the testing, not a single batch of organic pea protein has tested positive for any of the above-mentioned chemicals. Out of an abundance of caution, we also conducted third-party testing on finished goods on Orgain’s best-selling protein powders (including the product mentioned in the article), all of which returned zero detectable results.
