Mike at Global Patties monitors the ingredients of their products to maintain high quality and consistency.

In consideration of the fact that neonics have been in widespread use for some years now and concern that neonics might appear in food products, Mike sent samples to the USDA AMS lab recently for evaluation.  The lab tests for 144 compounds, including neonics and metbolites.  

The results came back N.D. (Non Detected) for all 144 compounds.  So, it seems that neonics are not appearing in soy flour, but monitoring will continue.
