Two Brothers Organic Farms Launches India’s First Certified Glyphosate-Free Ghee

Two Brothers Organic Farms launched what is India’s first ghee to receive independent Glyphosate Residue-Free
Certification. The certification has been awarded by DetoxProject.org, an internationally recognised third-party organisation that verifies food products contain no detectable glyphosate residues through rigorous laboratory testing of the final consumable product.

The implications of unchecked glyphosate use extend beyond crops and soil; they enter the entire food chain. When herbicide residues persist in soil, water, and fodder crops, dairy animals are indirectly exposed through what they graze and consume. Spray drift, contaminated wash water, and residues in grasses and feed can affect animal health and, over time, influence the quality and integrity of milk- derived products. Glyphosate is one of the world’s most widely used herbicides, originally introduced in the 1970s and later adopted globally at scale following the introduction of glyphosate-tolerant crops.

Speaking on the certification, Satyajit Hange, Co-founder, Two Brothers Organic Farms, said, “Today, there is a growing shift toward organic food in India, but very little conversation about what chemicals like glyphosate are, how widely they are used, or whether they are being tested for at all. For us, this certification was about closing that gap, moving the conversation from intent to evidence.” He added, “According to us, if something is consumed daily by families and children, it deserves the highest level of scrutiny.”

Ajinkya Hange, Co-founder, added, “Food safety today must be built on transparency, not trust alone. As evidence around chemical residues continues to grow, we believe testing and disclosure should become the norm, not the exception, in Indian food.”
