New Zealand is planning to increase the allowable glyphosate (Roundup) levels in wheat, oats, peas, and other foods โ not because itโs safer, but because residues are already too high. That's your morning cereal, toast, and other daily foods.
Instead of fixing the problem, they want to change the rules.
This isnโt just a farming issue โ itโs a food safety issue. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, gut issues, hormone disruption, and harms bees, birds, and soil health.
