Are Monsanto's products safe for consumption or use?

Asked 2 years ago
Monsanto Company, known for its wide range of products including seeds and agricultural biotechnology, has been a central figure in discussions surrounding food safety and agricultural practices. The safety of Monsanto's products, particularly genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and herbicides, has been extensively studied and evaluated by various scientific organizations and regulatory authorities around the world. Numerous studies conducted by independent researchers, as well as evaluations by regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the European Food Safety Authority, have consistently found that food derived from genetically engineered crops does not pose any greater risk to human health than conventional foods. Additionally, these regulatory agencies assess not only the safety of the crops themselves but also the pesticides and herbicides used in conjunction with them. Monsanto’s herbicides, especially glyphosate, have also been a topic of scrutiny. While the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified it as "probably carcinogenic in humans," other regulatory bodies have concluded that it is safe when used according to the label instructions. However, discussions about safety often include differing opinions, reflecting various perspectives in the public discourse surrounding biotechnology and agriculture. It is worth noting that consumers wishing to learn more about specific products or their safety may benefit from reviewing scientific literature and current information available on reputable websites. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding Monsanto's products, one might consider visiting the company's official website.
