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.
Public pressure worked: glyphosate residue limits for wheat, barley, and oats will stay at 0.1mg/kg in New Zealand. Pre-harvest spraying is banned — but enforcement remains the real test.
Glyphosate residues are increasingly detected in food, waterways, and human biological samples. This article explores whether the body can naturally detox from Roundup® exposure, the role of gut health and detox pathways, and why many people are rethinking cumulative chemical exposure in modern environments.
For two years, she lived without taste or smell. At first it seemed like an allergy to potatoes — until an organic test revealed the truth. The problem wasn’t the potato at all, but glyphosate-based sprays like Roundup. This personal story shows how hidden chemical residues can affect our health in unexpected ways.
Glyphosate is officially a hazardous substance under NZ law. Yet Roundup — more toxic than glyphosate alone — hides in plain sight with soft labels and missing warnings. Hazardous by law, invisible by label.
Some people say they feel glyphosate before they even see the yellowed grass — headaches, pain, and liver stress acting as early alarms. Science is beginning to show those “silent signals” may not be coincidence.
Does glyphosate really cause cancer? A 2023 review shows strong biological red flags, while human studies point to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Regulators disagree, but the evidence is mounting—and the question remains: why are we still taking the risk?
When the High Court sided with the EPA over glyphosate, it wasn’t a win for science — it was a win for procedure. If regulators and courts won’t protect us, who will?
MPI claims to test food for chemical contaminants, but glyphosate — New Zealand’s most widely used pesticide — is missing. Oversight or by design? If the Minister for Food Safety isn’t monitoring glyphosate, who’s protecting our children’s food?
Glyphosate’s EU approval was rocked by revelations of ghostwritten papers, copy-paste assessments, and industry infiltration of committees. This isn’t just about the chemical — it’s about whether we can trust the process itself.
