Latest News About Glyphosate

Here are the latest publicly reported developments on glyphosate (Roundup) as of now:

• A high-profile retraction of a long-cited study on glyphosate safety has renewed calls for EPA reassessment and more independent scrutiny of the cancer risk posed by glyphosate-based herbicides. This has amplified ongoing debates about regulatory review timelines and the influence of litigation on safety evaluations.[1]
• Industry and agrichemical groups have pushed back on new studies and regulatory reviews, arguing methodological flaws in some recent glyphosate research and stressing that regulatory agencies continue to rely on comprehensive risk assessments beyond single studies. The U.S. EPA has signaled that it will revisit its risk assessment framework in light of new data and court actions, but stresses that any conclusions must be based on high-quality science and labeled uses.[2]
• In Canada and other jurisdictions, discussions around glyphosate safety reviews intensified after retraction news highlighted concerns about data sources and potential ghostwriting in some studies, prompting calls for independent reviews and cautious communications to the public. Health authorities emphasize that safety decisions should be driven by transparent data analyses and up-to-date regulatory review processes.[4]
• Media and advocacy outlets continue to track litigation, Supreme Court filings, and regulatory reviews that could influence glyphosate’s future in the market, including potential temporary production changes or policy shifts depending on court rulings and regulatory outcomes. Several outlets have noted that Bayer’s strategic considerations include ongoing litigation exposure and potential legal immunity discussions at high court levels.[3][5]
