No More Glyphosate NZ

Want to understand how herbicides are used in your local parks, playgrounds, and streets? This guide walks you through what to ask, how to contact your council, and where to start—without needing a fixed position.

Across New Zealand, herbicides are widely used in parks, playgrounds, and along streets—but how much do we really know about where, why, and how often? This article takes a closer look at how public space weed control works, what alternatives are being explored, and how a simple question to your local council can open the door to greater transparency.

Not getting clear answers from your council? LGOIMA is a simple, formal way to request the information they hold. Here’s how it works in plain English—and when to use it.

Most pesticide safety limits are based on one chemical at a time. But what happens when exposure involves many at once? A new study explores the real-world risks of pesticide mixtures—and what that could mean beyond the lab

When Nestlé Cerelac Regular Wheat baby cereal was tested overseas, the result wasn’t dramatic—but it raised a question. In our earlier article, Baby Cereal Sold...

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.

We wash, cook, and freeze our food — but what are these steps actually doing? This article connects the dots and explores where their limits begin.

Freezing preserves food — but what exactly is being preserved? This article explores how freezing affects pesticide residues, including glyphosate.

Cooking is often seen as the final step that makes food safer. But does heat actually remove pesticides like glyphosate? Here’s what to consider.
