In reply to the discussion: Chemical Glyphosate (GMO handmaiden) found in California Wines [View all]Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)98. Do you have any info that remotely supports your assertion?
The EU never banned glyphosate.
Meanwhile:
Following a second mandate from the European Commission to consider the findings from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) regarding the potential carcinogenicity of glyphosate or glyphosate-containing plant protection products in the on-going peer review of the active substance, EFSA concluded that glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans and the evidence does not support classification with regard to its carcinogenic potential according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

EFSA looks at all the evidence and says that glyphosate poses no carcinogenic risk.
