Concerns over a surge in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases among field workers prompted investigations into the potential link between glyphosate exposure and cancer development.

    Numerous regulatory bodies have found sufficient evidence to suggest that glyphosate is likely carcinogenic. Since acquiring Monsanto in 2018, Bayer has faced billions of dollars in lawsuits.
