The Environmental Protection Agency reaffirmed on April 30, 2019, that a popular weed killer is safe for use around people.  The EPA’s draft conclusion came in a periodic review of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. The agency found that it posed “no risks of concern” for people exposed to it by any means — on farms, in yards and along roadsides, or as residue left on food crops.

The EPA’s draft findings reaffirmed that glyphosate “is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.”
