The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found fresh evidence that residues of the weed killer called glyphosate can be pervasive – found even in a food (like honey) NOT produced with the use of glyphosate. This raises very serious questions about the persistence of glyphosate (a “probable human carcinogen” according to the World Health Organisation) and the main “active” ingredient of RoundUp pesticide made by Monsanto and very widely used for GMO crops.
The FDA found glyphosate in all samples of U.S. honey it tested in a recent analysis – some with DOUBLE the residue levels legally allowed in the European Union.
a) There is no legal allowed level for glyphosate in honey in the United States
b) and why on earth is there an ALLOWED LIMIT of glyphosate in Europe? Obviously there is a lot of glyphosate use in Europe and someone was expecting it to be everywhere all over our produce. There should be no glyphosate in our food at all !!!
FDA has not made public the findings of its honey examination. So US Right to Know did (when they finally did get the info).
