All wheat is fumigated, all of it. That has been the law for 100 years.
All wheat shipments were full of weevils before then.

.............................
AI:
Based on the provided search results, the claim that all wheat is fumigated is not entirely accurate. While fumigation is a common practice, it is not a universal, mandatory step for every grain of wheat. it is a legal requirement under specific circumstances, particularly regarding export and the presence of infestation.
Here is a breakdown of the facts based on the search results:
Fumigation is not universal: Fumigation is primarily used as a, often necessary, pest management strategy to eliminate insect infestations in stored grain. It is commonly used in, but not limited to, the Southern United States.
Fumigation vs. Other Methods: If an insect infestation is detected, grain can be fumigated, but it can also be treated with protectant insecticides, or, in some cases, not treated at all.
Targeted Use: Fumigation is most frequently applied when pest infestations are discovered in storage bins, rather than a blanket treatment for every harvest.
Types of Treatment: Common fumigants used for insect control in stored wheat include phosphine and methyl bromide.
Purpose: The process is intended to eliminate pests and, when done properly, does not leave harmful residues or affect the nutritional value of the grain.
Regarding Glyphosate (Roundup):
It is also a common misconception that all wheat is "drenched" in glyphosate. According to the search results:
Less than 3% of wheat acres in the US are sprayed with glyphosate for desiccation.
It is not standard procedure for winter wheat farmers to spray their crops shortly before harvest.
