A recent study by the Detox Project—a toxic chemical research organization—revealed residual levels of glyphosate in common foods, but asked what levels, if any, are safe in terms of carcinogens. The report indicates that while more research needs to be done on this subject, regulatory bodies should seriously consider its findings.
California’s Prop 65 requires warning statements to be included on the label of chemical products such as pesticides and herbicides if they contain dangerous or carcinogenic ingredients. But the application of this California regulation has come into question as several farmers and their associations have cried foul, as saying state governments should not be allowed to require warning labels on pesticide products, but instead should be covered by the EPA.
