French health agency classes glyphosate as suspected carcinogen

The French agency for food, environment and health, ANSES, has published a report stating that glyphosate is a suspected carcinogen, placing it in Category 2 of the European chemicals classification system, CLP.

ANSES considered that the level of evidence of carcinogenicity in animals and humans is “relatively limited and cannot be used to propose a classification in Category 1A or 1B (respectively, known or presumed to be carcinogenic to humans)”.
