💥Good news! Sharing from our friends at No More Glyphosate NZ:

✅ Victory for Public Health & Transparency

Good news — glyphosate residue limits on wheat, barley, and oats will remain at 0.1mg/kg. Even more importantly, pre-harvest spraying with glyphosate on these grains is no longer permitted in New Zealand.

This decision comes after 3,100+ public submissions and strong evidence that growers and millers have already been moving away from pre-harvest glyphosate use. Now it’s official: the status quo is protected, and our food system takes a step toward greater safety.

Dry peas will see their limit set at 6mg/kg, aligning with international markets — but the real breakthrough here is on our daily staples.
🙌 This shows the power of public pressure and collective voices.
🌾 Our message was clear: glyphosate has no place on food crops right before harvest.
📢 Let’s keep building momentum — this is just one win in the wider fight.
👉 What do you think this decision means for New Zealand’s food future?

Did you catch the TVNZ 1 news story on the Gene Tech Bill recently? Their headline was "Is food in NZ set to become cheaper and better, or just less regulated?"

There's no evidence that GE would make food cheaper – or better. Instead, changes by both Food Standards Australia NZ (FSANZ) and potentially also by the impending Gene Technology Bill, would lead to GE sneaking into our food unlabelled, therefore untraceable and unable to be monitored if anything goes wrong.

GE - we don't want it!
