A study from 2000, which played a central role in the debate on the safety of the pesticide glyphosate, has been formally withdrawn by the journal "Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology".
The pesticide glyphosate was not carcinogenic, a study found in 2000. Since then, Monsanto has repeatedly referred to it. However, it seems that company employees have worked on it.
There are concerns about some applications of glyphosate, in 2016 the extension of the EU approval triggers a dispute in the then federal government. Proponents have long relied on a study from the year 2000 - this is now withdrawn from the specialist publishing house.
New trouble for Bayer? The withdrawal of a glyphosate study can make legal processing of the Monsanto past more difficult.
In 2000, a US scientific journal published a study on the safety of the pesticide glyphosate, which is now manufactured by Bayer. However, although doubts arose as early as 2017, the paper apparently still has a significant impact today.
The study claimed that Monsanto's Roundup was not risky for human health and did not represent a carcinogenic risk.
