Compositions, methods, systems and equipment capable of significantly reducing glyphosate, microbial, mycotoxin and other contaminant levels in various food commodities, such as, but not limited to, grains (e.g., corn, wheat, oats barley, rye, sorghum, millet, rice, etc.), nuts, seeds, and other agricultural products, are described. A contaminant treatment fluid suitable for use in reducing contaminant levels in foods may include an electrolyzed carrier fluid having a reductive potential with an oxidizer, a carbohydrate, and a sulfonic acid functional group-containing compound. Contacting food commodities with the contaminant treatment fluid reduces contaminant levels in the food commodity.
