Spraying glyphosate pre-harvest, one always runs the risk of affecting the germ and it is not a recommended practice in seed production fields. As the main period of embryo growth occurs late post-anthesis, an early shutdown of that process can have detrimental affects. That said, I don't know why eating aborted germ would translate into a health risk, and the germ is removed in processed flour btw.
