Australian Court Rules Insufficient Evidence Linking Roundup to Cancer

Bayer secures a legal victory as the judge dismisses class action lawsuit alleging glyphosate in Roundup causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

  • Justice Michael Lee found no compelling evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in mammals.
  • The ruling affects over 1,000 claimants in Australia, with similar cases pending in Canada and the U.S.
  • Bayer has faced significant legal challenges in the U.S., with mixed trial outcomes and over 50,000 claims still unresolved.
  • The company has replaced glyphosate in household products in the U.S. but continues its use for agricultural purposes.
  • Regulators like the APVMA continue to monitor glyphosate's safety, pending new scientific evidence.
