Bread is one of the most commonly eaten foods in the modern diet.
It shows up at breakfast, in lunchboxes, alongside dinner, and as snacks in between. For many households, it’s eaten daily — often starting in childhood and continuing...
A 2016 documentary on glyphosate captured a growing divide between science, regulation, and farming. Nearly a decade later, many of those same questions remain. What has changed—and what hasn’t?
The World Health Organization has called for experts to re-examine how pesticide residue exposure is calculated — a quiet signal that current safety models may not fully reflect real-world diets.
When glyphosate residues are found in food, the reassurance is often the same: the levels are “within regulatory limits.” But that phrase doesn’t tell the whole story.
Flowers are rarely questioned as a source of chemical exposure. But unlike food, cut flowers sit outside pesticide residue limits — creating a regulatory blind spot with real implications for workers’ health.
When we talk about glyphosate testing, most people assume it means measuring exact amounts. But environmental testing often starts with a simpler question: is it present at all? This explainer unpacks what screening tests can — and can’t — tell us, and why presence matters before dose.
After glyphosate residues were found in UK playgrounds, questions are being asked about children’s exposure. With routine spraying across New Zealand, why would our playgrounds be any different?
Whangārei District Council reviewed its use of glyphosate following public concern and a roadside spraying complaint. While safety improvements were recommended, many were not written into contracts. This article examines what changed, what didn’t, and why regulatory assumptions matter when spraying occurs in public spaces.
How can a food be considered safe to eat, yet still raise trade and reputational concerns? Using glyphosate in honey as an example, this article explores what “safe” really means.
MPI testing has found glyphosate residues in New Zealand honey before. Our independent testing asks a different question: how common are those residues when you look closely at retail products?
