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 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.
A Bill Few Want, But Still Moving Forward
The Health Select Committee has released its long-awaited report on the Gene Technology Bill. After months of...
MPI is consulting on proposed changes to maximum food residue levels. While glyphosate isn’t included this time, other chemicals are — and your submission can make a difference before 5 December 2025.
Tobacco, alcohol, energy drinks — even toothpaste — carry warnings. Glyphosate-based weedkillers do not. Our open letter calls on the EPA and NZ Ministers to explain why New Zealanders are denied the same right-to-know protections.
The Missouri Supreme Court just upheld a $611 million Roundup verdict, confirming Bayer’s failure to warn consumers. Yet in New Zealand, Roundup is still sold without health warnings. If tobacco, alcohol, and even energy drinks carry labels, why doesn’t a product linked to cancer?
Is it Tylenol? Glyphosate? Antidepressants? The truth is, pregnancy today involves a cocktail of exposures. And glyphosate may be the hidden passenger no one talks about.
A groundbreaking mouse study reveals that even low-dose prenatal exposure to glyphosate — similar to real-world food levels — can trigger multigenerational effects. Why are New Zealand regulators still turning a blind eye?
Glyphosate doesn’t just kill weeds. New studies show it may also disrupt metabolism, alter gut bacteria, and contribute to obesity and liver disease—even at low doses.
