There is glyphosate in our food, including infant cereal. Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world.

Tony Mitra, a retired engineer living in Vancouver, asked the CFIA for test data on glyphosate, and they provided it this year. The CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) has been testing the food in Canada for only about 2 years.

Safe Food Matters Inc. works in the regulatory and legal arena to ensure our food is safe. In February 2022 we won our case on glyphosate in the Federal Court of Appeal. The Court ordered PMRA, an agency of Health Canada, to revisit our objections to the 2017 risk assessment of glyphosate. One result may be PMRA strikes a review panel to review the glyphosate registration. See more under “Glyphosate”.

Our current topics are glyphosate, chlorpyrifos, and gene editing (genetically modified/edited products). To see our collections on a topic, click on the topic link in a post or on the sidebar.
