The story is complicated in a way that the article doesn't make obvious. As far as regulators are concerned, this isn't an instance of contamination because glyphosate is safe. If it weren't..the solution would be to increase the pre harvest interval. Cross contamination of products at processors happens, but nothing is done. Organic fraud is the industry norm, not the exception.
There are actual crimes involved in the above, but we don't have any real interest in enforcing the regs, so we don't provide adequate funding or manpower to do so. Compounding that problem is that most people are unaware of the laws concerning pesticide use, handling, storage, and documentation. It's not a coincidence that the flagship case against roundup isn't a farmer, but a school groundskeeper.
So, getting away from things like this, specifically, well..we can do something about it, but we're probably too busy locking up stoners.
