The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is aware that the Committee for Risk Assessment of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has concluded that the available scientific evidence did not meet the criteria of the “Classification, Labelling and Packaging” (CLP) Regulation required to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen or as genotoxic.
The international experts composing the IARC Monograph Working Group, which evaluated glyphosate in March 2015, concluded that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans” based on the publicly available scientific evidence on epidemiology, animal carcinogenicity, and carcinogenic mechanisms, using the methodology described in detail in the IARC Monographs preamble.
The IARC evaluation of glyphosate is not affected by the ECHA review. IARC does not comment on the expertise, methodology, or conclusions of other national or international committees.
