  I'm guessing the critical piece of information you're missing is the FDA, like most government agencies that aren't the military, suffers from chronic underfunding and lobby-funded political agendas.

    Not arguing that, but we're talking about Roundup, which we know is a health hazard and used everywhere. As a layperson, if the FDA hasn't been testing for this, it makes you wonder what they have been testing for.. or rather, it almost makes one feel like they haven't been testing food samples at all for 50+ years.. which even with an underfunded agency, would be shocking.

  From the sources linked in the article there appears to be quite a bit of pushback from Monsanto to even test that infiltrated the Department of Agriculture (FDA and Department of Agriculture appear to have some overlapping responsibilities to test to standards created by EPA), there was some movement by 2016 but that was all cancelled by the new administration, doubt we'll see any progress in the USA unless Canada and EU start testing their imports from USA and banning contaminated imports.
