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 tend to think pesticides stay where they’re used. But new research suggests they can travel through the air, enter clouds, and return in rain—far from where they were applied.
We tested eight supermarket breads for glyphosate. Six showed detectable levels—including several positioned as “healthier” options. Here’s what we found.
We’re raising funds to test 6 Weet-Bix-style products in one round, allowing for a direct comparison across brands, batches, and sourcing. This next phase builds on earlier testing to better understand whether glyphosate residues are consistent or vary over time.
Two of the eight supermarket breads we tested came back with no detectable glyphosate. But does that automatically make them better choices? This article explores what “not detected” really means, and why processing may be part of the story.
Washing produce is often seen as a simple way to remove pesticides. But does that apply to glyphosate? This article explores where that assumption holds — and where it doesn’t.
Rising breast cancer rates and widespread chemical exposure. Coincidence—or connection? Explore the science behind Roundup, hormones, and women’s health.
A South African test found trace glyphosate in a baby cereal also sold in New Zealand. The level was low and below the default limit, but the finding still raises a fair question: should products made for infants contain any detectable residue at all?
Our first Weet-Bix glyphosate tests gave us useful results, but not a complete picture. Now we’re raising funds to retest Weet-Bix-style wheat biscuit products in New Zealand to see whether those earlier findings hold over time.
We tested supermarket bread again to see if the first results were a one-off or part of a pattern. What we found wasn’t uniform. Some loaves came back with no detectable glyphosate, while others contained measurable levels from the same shelf. The question now isn’t just what’s there—but why the difference exists.
