Glyphosate safety update

The  link below will take you to the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary medicines Authority website (APVMA for short) where you can read the latest information relating the the safety and use of glyphosate

The APVMA states ..

" The current scientific assessment by expert scientists at
the APVMA has concluded that glyphosate products are
safe to use, provided they are used in accordance with
the label instructions. Therefore no action to change the
use or availability of products containing glyphosate is
required at this stage.

The APVMA assessment is based on scientific evidence
from a broader range of studies than was used by the
IARC in their assessment. It is also consistent with what
regulators in other countries, such as Germany and
Canada, have done. Both have concluded that current
labels for glyphosate products contain appropriate
instructions for use to keep those regularly handling
glyphosate safe."
