Support the call for action on glyphosate, send your letter to Minister of Health Marjorie Michel.

We’ve called on the Minister of Health to pause all glyphosate reviews and approvals until the PMRA assesses the findings of the Ramazzini Institute Global Glyphosate Study on “Carcinogenic effects of long-term exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague–Dawley rats”.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has published their results of 2021-2 testing of pesticide residues in Canadian food – both domestic and imported products from 11 major cities across Canada were sampled for CFIA’s food testing for pesticide residues in 2021-2.

Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in Canadian agriculture which explains glyphosate accounting for 85% of the positive results in grain-based products. The fact that a known carcinogen is ending up in a staple food found in almost every household is a systemic failure. Consumers shouldn’t have to be chemists just to buy a safe loaf of bread.”
