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.
Spraying weedkiller feels like a casual outdoor task — but inhalation exposure is real, even in calm air. If we need proper respirators, gloves, and covered skin just to apply these products safely… then maybe we should stop pretending this is just another gardening job.
Slasher isn’t a natural Roundup — it works in a completely different way. Here’s what New Zealanders need to know about how Slasher performs, where it struggles, and whether it’s a safer option for families, pets, schools, and community spaces.
When everyday exposure meets real life: one family’s fight with kidney cancer brings glyphosate’s risks into sharp focus. How safe are “safe limits” when lives are on the line?
Six months after launching to challenge MPI’s proposal to raise glyphosate residue limits, NoMoreGlyphosate.nz looks back on testing results, public pressure, and a collective effort that made a real difference — and why the next six months matter even more.
NZ Food Safety’s summary of glyphosate submissions keeps cereals at 0.1 mg/kg and bans pre-harvest use. A win worth celebrating — but with loopholes on animal feed, weak enforcement, outdated diet data, and Roundup® co-formulants, the fight for real food safety isn’t over.
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?
