Yepper, you betcha, it's on all kinds of stuff. Farmers hose down their crops (corn, rice, sunflowers, oats, etc etc) with, among other things, Roundup... this kills all above-ground vegetation, providing a number of nifty benefits to the farmer - more efficient mechanical harvesting, a predictable and uniform ripening of grains, a heavier harvest weight...
It's technically legal, because it's considered off-label use of said chemicals.
The product can even claim an "organic" label because of that off-label use.
Nice, huh?
The only recourse is to find food with a "Certified Glyphosate-free" label, as glyphosate (Roundup) is the most prevalent chemical used for this sick agricultural practice.
