Monsanto Co, maker of the world’s most
widely-used herbicide, Roundup, wants an international health
organization to retract a report linking the chief ingredient in Roundup
to cancer.
The company said on Tuesday
that the report, issued on Friday by the World Health Organization’s
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), was biased and
contradicts regulatory findings that the ingredient, glyphosate, is safe
when used as labeled.
