No More Glyphosate NZ
377 POSTS0 COMMENTS
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.
When the Bumblebees Start Warning Us: What a New Study Reveals About Glyphosate-Based Weedkillers
What if the real danger of glyphosate-based weedkillers isn’t what they kill — but what they quietly weaken?
We talk a lot here about human...
Glyphosate-Sprayed Feed: What It Does to Cows — and Why New Zealand Isn’t Testing
New Zealand cows are being fed glyphosate-sprayed pasture — often without consumers knowing and without any herbicide testing in milk. Here’s what this means for animal health, offal eaters, and our food safety system.
NZ Product Labelling Review: The Problems the Digital QR Trial Ignores
Before NZ rolled out its digital QR-code labelling trial, the Government’s own Product Labelling Review exposed far deeper issues — from weak enforcement to transparency gaps. Here’s what the Review actually said, and why the digital solution sidesteps the real problems.
Digital Labels Are Coming to New Zealand — But Will They Reveal Anything That Matters?
New Zealand is trialling digital food labels — but while QR codes sound modern, are they just relocating the same old blind spots?
Glyphosate and Male Fertility: What the New Science Reveals
Glyphosate is showing up in semen and disrupting sperm in lab studies. Could New Zealand men be unknowingly affected — and what can we do about it?
Scan for the Truth: Why NZ Needs Real Food Transparency and QR‑Code Lab Results
Imagine standing in the supermarket, picking up a box of cereal, scanning the barcode… and seeing actual lab results instead of vague marketing claims.

Missing Science: The Evidence Gaps in New Zealand’s Glyphosate Assessment
New Zealand’s glyphosate assessment was built on a selective evidence base — and the 2017 Bruning–Browning review exposed just how much science never made it into the room. In this bonus investigation, we explore the missing studies, the unpublished data, the methodological shortcuts, and what these gaps mean for trust, transparency, and the future of chemical oversight in New Zealand.
Are Glyphosate-Based Weedkillers Like Roundup Actually Safe When Used as Directed?
Is glyphosate (Roundup) safe when used as directed? New 2025 studies, including the Global Glyphosate Study, show tumors and organ damage in animals at doses regulators call safe. While EPA and EFSA claim no human risk, independent research and billions in cancer settlements raise serious concerns. This 2025 review breaks down the latest science vs. official claims so you can decide if glyphosate belongs in your garden or food.
History Repeating: Why the EPA’s 2025 Legal Battle Feels So Familiar
New Zealand’s EPA is back in court — and the arguments sound eerily familiar. In the final part of our mini-series, we look at why the agency’s 2025 defence mirrors the same assumptions, gaps, and borrowed conclusions challenged in 2017, and what this means for glyphosate regulation, public trust, and the future of chemical oversight in New Zealand.
The Coziness Problem: How Industry Influence Shaped New Zealand’s Glyphosate Decisions
New Zealand’s glyphosate decisions didn’t falter because the science was unclear — but because the system leaned on industry-influenced agencies and untested assumptions. Here’s how that coziness shaped our regulatory outcomes.
The Glyphosate Review NZ’s EPA Ignored: What the 2017 Report Revealed
A 2017 review warned the NZ EPA had overlooked major glyphosate risks. Eight years later, those same issues are heading to court — and nothing has changed.
Burned and Dismissed: One Man’s Harrowing Experience with Glyphosate
A single drop of glyphosate changed Damean Ross’s life forever. After decades of pain, dismissal, and silence, he's finally ready to share what happened—and why it still matters.
