We tested honey. Then Weet-Bix. Now breakfast cereals. Glyphosate keeps showing up — in foods branded as “natural.” What if the label doesn’t match the truth?
A 2010 study found concerning levels of persistent organic pollutants in the breast milk of New Zealand mothers. Have we done enough to monitor the next generation's chemical exposure?
Organic labels don’t always mean glyphosate-free. That’s why a new certification is rising fast—built not on promises, but on proof. Is this the clean label we’ve been waiting for?
Our independent test of four Weet-Bix varieties found one with detectable glyphosate. It’s not a name-and-shame—it's a community-led baseline for safer food.
Who’s protecting the people who spray glyphosate? In a recent OIA response, MPI admitted it hasn’t assessed the health risks of glyphosate for contractors or workers—despite proposing to increase allowable residues in food. If no one’s responsible for tracking long-term exposure, what kind of system are we really running?
Hundreds of New Zealanders have filed ACC claims after exposure to Roundup. But what happened next? Was there any follow-up? Any warning about cancer risk?
When the nightly chorus of frogs suddenly stopped near a suburban golf course, one resident wondered: did herbicides silence them? Within days, the weeds around the pond browned and died. Could the spray meant to tame grass also be pushing away—or even killing—the frogs?
In just two years, Auckland Council workers have been repeatedly splashed, soaked, and sprayed with glyphosate weedkillers. Are these exposures early warning signs of much bigger problems ahead?
New research shows women may face higher health risks from glyphosate than men. Find out why gender matters, what regulators have missed, and how to protect your health.
Auckland Council contractors used over 20 tonnes of glyphosate in 2024 — much of it sprayed straight into roadside gutters that drain to the sea. Our article investigates the hidden risks.
When South Dublin County Council moved to fully ban glyphosate from its operations, it sent a clear message: community voices can drive real change. As more councils worldwide turn away from this controversial weedkiller, it’s time to ask why so many in New Zealand still cling to outdated spray regimes.
A new peer-reviewed study finds a 40% higher risk of death with rising urinary glyphosate levels. With testing still hard to access in New Zealand, is it time to rethink glyphosate use?
A new study shows 1 in 4 US infants has no Bifidobacterium, a crucial gut microbe. With glyphosate’s known antimicrobial effects, is our chemical environment putting babies’ microbiomes at risk?
Like tobacco before it, glyphosate’s defenders may one day scramble to rewrite history. Will we let them? Here’s what happens when the ship finally sinks.
Bayer is facing massive lawsuits, scientific backlash, and CEO warnings about Roundup’s future. Carey Gillam’s exposés are playing out in real time — but what does it mean for New Zealand?
Gluten-free labels dominate store shelves, but what if the real problem isn’t gluten—it’s glyphosate? With rising rates of gut issues, is it time to shift focus from wheat to the weedkiller sprayed on it?
