Glyphosate is an agricultural herbicide that's used across the food supply, even on many non-GMO crops such as legumes, oats, barley, wheat and hops.
Standards for upper limits of glyphosate residues -- described as "MRL" or "Maximum Residue Limit" -- vary widely across the globe. The EU sets limits of 100 ppb for most (but not all) foods, while U.S. regulators which are heavily influenced by agricultural pesticide producers have limits which are orders of magnitude higher.
