Does Roundup cause cancer?

Short answer: Scientists disagree. In 2015 the World Health Organization’s cancer agency, IARC, classified glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A), citing limited human evidence for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The U.S. EPA concluded glyphosate is “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” at relevant doses.

IARC rates how strong the evidence of a hazard is; the EPA assesses risk at real-world exposure levels. Juries have reached different verdicts, and the lawsuits focus on non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
