Open letter to EPA: Why no warning labels on glyphosate weedkillers?

This week NoMoreGlyphosate NZ published an Open Letter to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), and to the Ministers of Health, Food Safety, and the Environment who share responsibility for protecting New Zealanders, calling for mandatory health warning labels on glyphosate-based weedkillers sold in New Zealand.

Unlike tobacco, alcohol, energy drinks — and even toothpaste — glyphosate weedkillers such as Roundup carry no health warnings at all, despite being classified internationally as a probable human carcinogen.

Our open letter has been sent directly to:

  • The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)
  • The Minister for the Environment (Penny Simmonds)
  • The Minister of Health (Simeon Brown)
  • The Minister for Food Safety (Andrew Hoggard)
  • The Director-General of Health (Audrey Sonerson)

We believe New Zealanders deserve the same right-to-know protections already applied to other hazardous products. Anything less is a failure of duty of care.

Read the full open letter here.

  1. Unlike tobacco, alcohol, energy drinks — and even toothpaste — glyphosate weedkillers such as Roundup carry no health warnings at all, despite being classified internationally as a probable human carcinogen – A RED FLAG

    Roundup is manufactured by Bayer AG, a German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company. Bayer acquired Monsanto—the original developer of Roundup—in 2018.

    🧪 Roundup’s Manufacturing Lineage
    – Monsanto: Introduced Roundup in 1974, pioneering glyphosate-based herbicides and genetically engineered “Roundup Ready” crops.
    – Bayer AG: Acquired Monsanto for $66 BILLION in 2018, inheriting the Roundup brand and its controversies.
    – Glyphosate: The active ingredient in Roundup, it inhibits the EPSPS enzyme in plants, effectively killing most weeds.
    – Formulations: Roundup products include surfactants like polyethoxylated tallow amine (POEA) to enhance absorption.

    🌍 Global Distribution
    – Agricultural use: Roundup remains one of the most widely used herbicides globally, especially in large-scale cropping systems.
    – Consumer products: In New Zealand, Roundup is distributed by Evergreen Garden Care NZ Ltd, with formulations tailored for home gardeners.

    ⚖️ Legal and Environmental Controversies
    – Bayer has faced tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging that glyphosate exposure caused cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
    – In 2020, Bayer agreed to pay $9.6 billion to settle most claims, while continuing to assert that Roundup is safe when used correctly.

  2. Why no warning labels?
    Because…the PTB Zio-Globalists want us all DEAD!!!

    Vinny Eastwood (The Vinny Eastwood Show- which had more followers globally than the MSM here in NZ…) once said that ‘Everything in your refrigerator is a bio-weapon!’. This is especially true if the contents in your produce drawer were sprayed / treated in the growth stage with Round-Up of any other Glyphosate chemical.
    The Vinny Eastwood Show has been shelved for now due to lack of donations and outdated media equipment. Any help via donations would be great.
    Vinny Eastwood should consider running for Parliament under the New Zealand Loyal Party banner in 2026. He has nothing to lose in trying!
