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’re told glyphosate is safe “within limits.” But a 2024 scientific review tells a different story—linking it to cancer, hormone disruption, and DNA damage. With MPI pushing to raise residue limits, and no biomonitoring in New Zealand, the question is: how safe is safe?
Glyphosate isn’t just on our farms — it’s in our bread, cereals, and honey. New research shows real risks even at “safe” levels. So can anyone, in good conscience, still claim glyphosate is compatible with human health?
When it comes to glyphosate, the people making the decisions aren’t scientists, doctors, or toxicologists — they’re politicians. Can ministers without expertise really protect public health when MPI is pushing for a 9,900% rise in glyphosate residues on our food?
A major peer-reviewed study has revealed how glyphosate interferes with kidney repair, metabolism, and cancer defences. Yet MPI, EPA, and the Ministry of Health continue to look the other way — even as they propose raising residue limits by 9,900%. How much longer can New Zealand regulators ignore the evidence?
The Ministry of Health is legally mandated to protect public health. Yet while MPI pushes for a staggering 9,900% increase in glyphosate residues on our food crops, the Ministry has stayed silent. Where is their duty of care, and why are they ignoring mounting evidence of harm?
The glyphosate-free market has surged past $800 million—and consumers are driving the shift. The question now is whether New Zealand brands will keep up, or be left behind.
When Federated Farmers call Greenpeace’s glyphosate warnings “manufactured outrage,” it raises a bigger question: is this really fearmongering—or the precaution we all deserve?
Glyphosate isn’t just a weedkiller—it’s used to dry crops like wheat and oats before harvest. But when we try to remove it, we hit a bigger system problem.
Glyphosate use and chronic disease have risen hand in hand since the 1990s. Science points to a connection regulators ignore. The question for New Zealand: will we keep trusting “safe” claims while the evidence says otherwise?
We tested six popular supermarket breads for glyphosate and related chemicals. No residues were found above the reporting limit, but that doesn’t mean they’re glyphosate-free.
A major new study shows glyphosate can trigger cancers at doses regulators call “safe.” With residues in honey, cereals, and bread, how safe is NZ’s food?
Glyphosate is tested in isolation, but nobody sprays it that way. Roundup® and other formulations contain hidden additives that can make them far more toxic — a risk New Zealand regulators continue to ignore.
