No More Glyphosate NZ is an independent, community-funded project focused on transparency around glyphosate use, residues, and regulation in New Zealand. We investigate how pesticides, food production, and policy decisions affect public health and consumer clarity — so New Zealanders can make informed choices in a system that often hides the detail.
We independently tested four widely sold Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs for glyphosate and related herbicides. Here’s what the lab results showed — and what “not detected” really means.
How can a food be considered safe to eat, yet still raise trade and reputational concerns? Using glyphosate in honey as an example, this article explores what “safe” really means.
MPI testing has found glyphosate residues in New Zealand honey before. Our independent testing asks a different question: how common are those residues when you look closely at retail products?
Hormones guide development, fertility, metabolism, and the health of entire ecosystems — yet endocrine disruption remains one of the biggest blind spots in New Zealand’s chemical safety system. This four-part investigative series examines what glyphosate-based herbicides are doing to hormonal systems across species and why regulators still can’t see the risks.
New Zealand still evaluates glyphosate with tests that can’t detect the low-dose, timing-specific endocrine effects modern science has uncovered. This final article in our series explores how the regulatory system fell behind—and why it still can’t see the risks right in front of us.
Endocrine disruption isn’t abstract — it shows up in humans, farm animals, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. This article explores what those hormonal shifts look like in the real world, and why the science points to far more than a lab-based concern.
Is glyphosate an endocrine disruptor? New research suggests it might be, with studies showing hormonal interference in human cells, animals, and wildlife. This article explores what the evidence shows — and why regulators may be overlooking one of glyphosate’s most important risks.
Most people don’t know what the endocrine system actually is — or how easily it can be disrupted by everyday chemicals. This simple guide explains how hormones work, why tiny changes matter, and why endocrine disruption is emerging as one of the biggest public-health blind spots.
Napa Valley’s top vineyards have stopped using Roundup after questions about soil health, consumer trust, and long-term vine resilience became impossible to ignore. Their shift away from glyphosate reveals a deeper story — one New Zealand’s growers and councils may need to confront sooner rather than later.
MPI’s digital labelling trial promises lower prices — but by reducing the cost of importing food rather than supporting New Zealand growers. This article explains how digital labels weaken transparency, encourage offshore sourcing, and risk long-term impacts on local producers, food sovereignty, and consumer choice.
Online grocery shoppers can’t see product labels until food arrives — and that makes MPI’s digital labelling trial especially risky. This article explains why removing information from physical labels could undermine safety, allergens, substitutions, and traceability for New Zealand households.
MPI’s “digital labelling trial” sounds harmless — but it may be the first step toward removing vital information from food labels and hiding it behind QR codes. From allergen risks to enforcement gaps, here’s why New Zealand shoppers should be paying close attention before this becomes permanent.
