The data of residual content of glyphosate and its metabolite in soybean and soybean meal imported to the Russian Federation are presented. The properties of glyphosate, and methods of its application are shown; risks of its usage are discribed. The existing ways of glyphosate residual amounts regulation in soybean and soybean meal, described, as well as control methods. According the research, the average content of glyphosate in imported soybeans is about 2.088 mg/kg, with maximum at 3.41 mg/kg. The average glyphosate concentration in soybean meal is 1.57 mg/kg; maximum – 2.28 mg / kg. It was found what soybeans from Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina are contaminated with glyphosate and its metabolite at concentrations up to 4.15 and 5.23 mg/kg, respectively. Soybean meal imported into the Russian Federation from these countries may contain glyphosate at the level about 2.09 mg/kg. It has been confirmed that during the further processing of soybean and soybean meal, glyphosate and its metabolite can to contaminate animal feed. The maximum detected concentration of glyphosate in the feed is 0.5 mg/kg, and for glyphosate metabolite – 1.26 mg/kg.
