Warwick from Birkenhead

New Zealand is planning to increase the allowable glyphosate (Roundup) levels in wheat, oats, peas, and other foods โ€” not because itโ€™s 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 isnโ€™t just a farming issue โ€” itโ€™s a food safety issue. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, gut issues, hormone disruption, and harms bees, birds, and soil health.
