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.
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.
Our fourth round of honey testing shows glyphosate residues in four out of five retail honeys. Levels ranged from a non-detect in Hunt & Gather’s Kānuka honey to the highest result we’ve recorded so far — Wrights Mānuka (Kerikeri) at 146.7 ppb, exceeding New Zealand’s legal limit for honey.
Oats are in nearly every NZ pantry — porridge, cereals, oat milks. But are they as clean as we think? Our next independent test will reveal if glyphosate residues are hiding in your morning oats.
We commissioned independent, accredited lab tests on five popular supermarket breads in September 2025. Three loaves tested clean at trace levels, while two contained measurable glyphosate residues. See the full results and why they matter.
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.
Our third round of honey testing reveals glyphosate residues remain common in New Zealand honey. Six out of seven samples contained detectable traces, and one exceeded the domestic Maximum Residue Limit.
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.
WeedX is a New Zealand-made, vinegar-based weedkiller that works fast without glyphosate. Available in both natural and organic formulas, it’s safe for kids, pets, and pollinators — and breaks down quickly in the soil.
We tested seven mānuka honeys from NZ supermarkets and online retailers. Glyphosate was found in five — including some of the country’s most trusted brands.
