The EPA says it will not approve warning labels for products containing glyphosate, a suspected cancer-causing weed killer found in Roundup.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer says glyphosate is"probably carcinogenic," which has led California to require warning labels on glyphosate products, the Associated Press reported.
The EPA says its research shows the chemical poses no risks to public health and won't approve warning labels for glyphosate products, the AP reported. Chandra Lord, a representative for Monsanto’s parent company Bayer AG, said the EPA’s announcement “is fully consistent with the science-based conclusions reached by the agency and leading health regulators worldwide for more than four decades.”It's unusual for the EPA to tell a state it can't go beyond the federal requirements, according to Brett Hartl, government affairs director for the Center for Biological Diversity.
