Although the use of glyphosate on crops poses a food safety risk and its use should be curbed, completely banning the substance too early may lead to farmers using chemical alternatives that are just as harmful to human and environmental health, according to experts from Wageniningen University and Research (WUR).
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has overturned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) decision that glyphosate is safe for humans, stating that EPA ignored glyphosate’s dangers to humans and the environment.
Food Safety Strategies was recently able to interview Brady Barnstable, co-founder and COO of Seven Sundays, which recently committed to sharing glyphosate test results with its consumers.
