The Court’s decision is consistent with worldwide regulatory and scientific assessments, including from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, that support that glyphosate (Roundup) is safe and non-carcinogenic.    

Last year (2023), the EU Commission re-approved glyphosate for 10 years, following the favourable scientific assessments by its health and safety agencies, which ‘did not identify any critical areas of concern’ impacting public health or the environment in their review of glyphosate in July 2023.  
Bayer remains committed to supporting Australian farmers by ensuring safe-for-use and effective products such as Roundup® continue to be available.
