03 Feb 2020 --- Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide and crop desiccant, has been reaffirmed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as safe to use and non-carcinogenic. Based on an expert review over a ten-year period, EPA concluded that it “did not identify any human health risks from exposure to glyphosate.” This assessment comes at the heels of The Kellogg Company saying it will be working with its suppliers to phase out the contested chemical as a pre-harvest drying agent in its wheat and oat supply chain in major markets by the end of 2025 – eliminating its ubiquity in the company’s breakfast cereals and other foods.
