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.
Independent laboratory testing of six Weet-Bix-style breakfast cereal products found four below the laboratory reporting limit, while two Australian-made Sanitarium products returned detectable glyphosate residues — including one result of 3.9 mg/kg.
When Nestlé Cerelac Regular Wheat baby cereal was tested overseas, the result wasn’t dramatic—but it raised a question.

We tested supermarket bread again to see if the first results were a one-off or part of a pattern. What we found wasn’t uniform. Some loaves came back with no detectable glyphosate, while others contained measurable levels from the same shelf. The question now isn’t just what’s there—but why the difference exists.
We independently tested four widely sold Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs for glyphosate and related herbicides. Here’s what the lab results showed — and what “not detected” really means.
Six popular oat products were tested in New Zealand and none showed detectable glyphosate above 0.010 mg/kg. A reassuring result — for these specific batches.
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.
