Oats are of particular concern. In the US, they often spray Roundup on oats to prepare the oats for harvest. This kills the oats and gets them dry enough for the equipment. Farmers often don't own the harvesting equipment, so there crops must be ready when the equipment is.
Organic oats should not have glyphosate, but most brands are not tested for it.
I know from my own experience, if I eat something like Quaker oatmeal, I will get problems with my gut, but if I eat oats that are certified glyphosate free, I have no problems.

- thedougd 4y agoInteresting. I was wondering how the heck glyphosate was persisting long enough to make it to food. You can, for example, plant seed immediately after applying and it will grow well.
