Our latest independent honey testing found glyphosate in four of five samples tested. The highest result was 59.7 ppb in J.Friend & Co Beechwood Honeydew, while glyphosate was also detected in one of two certified-organic honeys.
No More Glyphosate NZ's seventh round of independent honey testing found detectable glyphosate in all five retail honey samples analysed by Hill Laboratories. While every product contained measurable residues, all remained below New Zealand's current maximum residue limit, and no AMPA or glufosinate was detected. Repeat testing continues to demonstrate how glyphosate residues can vary between production batches over time.
Our sixth round of independent glyphosate testing examined five New Zealand honey products purchased from retail outlets. One sample returned a detectable glyphosate result, while the remaining four were below the laboratory reporting limit. This latest round expands one of New Zealand's largest independent datasets on glyphosate residues in retail honey.
Following our recent flour testing, No More Glyphosate NZ independently tested two more wheat products—Edmonds Wheat Bran and Edmonds Wheat Germ. Both were purchased through normal retail channels and analysed by Hill Laboratories using LC-MS/MS. This article publishes the laboratory results in full, continuing our commitment to independent food testing and transparency.
Independent testing commissioned by No More Glyphosate NZ found low levels of glyphosate in two of five honey products tested. Three samples were below the laboratory reporting limit, while no AMPA or glufosinate was detected in any sample. The results highlight how independent testing helps reveal what is actually present in foods New Zealanders buy.
Flour has been one of the most requested foods in our independent testing programme. Four supermarket flour products were independently tested by Hill Laboratories for glyphosate, AMPA and glufosinate. Three samples returned non-detect glyphosate results, while one contained a measurable residue. This article presents the laboratory findings in full and explains what the results do—and do not—tell us.
We tested three potato varieties purchased from Woolworths New Zealand for glyphosate residues. All three returned non-detect results. Here's what that means—and what it doesn't.
Most people would never knowingly add a toxic substance to someone else's food. Yet modern societies routinely accept risks that would alarm many people if viewed in isolation. This article explores Ulrich Beck's Risk Society theory and how invisible risks, fragmented responsibility, and normalisation can make harmful systems feel ordinary.
Following the publication of independent glyphosate testing results for selected Weet-Bix products, No More Glyphosate NZ contacted Sanitarium for comment. This page reproduces the company's response in full, allowing readers to review Sanitarium's position on food safety, regulatory compliance, supplier standards, and glyphosate residues for themselves.
Recent discussions about glyphosate residues in food highlight an important question: should consumers simply trust existing regulations, or should they have access to independent testing data so they can make their own informed decisions? This article explores the difference between regulatory compliance, personal risk tolerance, and the growing demand for transparency in the food supply.
