Health Canada sticks with glyphosate decision

Health Canada, the agency responsible for public health in Canada, is sticking by its earlier decision that glyphosate is unlikely to pose a cancer risk and is not a concern to human health.

In 2017, Health Canada released a re-evaluation decision on glyphosate, the weed killer commonly known by its trade name Roundup. Federal scientists concluded that products containing glyphosate “did not present unacceptable risks to human health” when used according to the product label directions.

After receiving several notices of objection regarding its 2017 decision, Health Canada decided to conduct another review of the evidence. But, in a statement issued late last week, the agency said it found no reason to alter its 2017 decision.
