EU Moves to Reapprove Monsanto’s Toxic Glyphosate

‘In defiance of popular sentiment and scientific warnings, the European Commission plans to re-approve the use of controversial weedkiller glyphosate, a “probable carcinogen” according to the WHO, for another 15 years, according to a draft regulation (pdf) obtained by Bloomberg BNA.

The herbicide, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is already so widely used in Europe that two-thirds of bread loaves sold in Britain contain residue from the toxic chemical, the Guardian reported in 2014.

The announcement of the European Commission’s plans, to be voted on at a meeting on March 7th-8th, came on the heels of a report published on Tuesday by the French magazine 60 Millions de Consommateurs, which found traces of glyphosate and other industrial toxins in 5 out of 11 brands of feminine hygiene products.’
