Wait. RoundUp Ready means they are resistant or can metabolize glyphosate, not that they produce it.
I'm not going to debate GMO, but this has zero to do with avoiding residual glyphosate in organic produce.

Just some musings from a non-expert.
Looking at it's structure, it's relatively stable. I found many links on it's halflife; ~10-100 days in the environment. If low levels matter, then 10 halflifes might still be a problem.
I don't know - and won't debate, since I don't know - if there is any risk to GMOs.
I don't know what risks there are to persistent glyphosate or AMPA exposure.
But I do know that pesticide resistance is different that pesticide producing in very fundamental ways.
Ruby Red Grapefruit? They made that by putting a nuclear radiation source in the middle of an orchard and seeing what happened. Killed some trees, but somewhere was a grapefruit that tastes better. No scientific study was done.
Organic - random mutations happen every generation, and none of them have ever been studied.
