MAHA Report Eases Stance on Pesticide Rules

A recent federal strategy report aimed at improving children’s health has shifted its focus, moving away from calls for strict pesticide bans and toward a more collaborative approach with the agricultural community, as reported by FarmWeekNow.com. The “Make Our Children Healthy Again” (MAHA) strategy now emphasizes regulatory flexibility, faster innovation, and partnership with farmers, a move that has drawn cautious praise from agricultural groups.

Initially, a preliminary report from the MAHA Commission caused significant concern among farmers and industry leaders. It targeted critical crop protection tools like glyphosate and atrazine, citing studies that agricultural groups argued were inaccurate or misleading. The new, finalized strategy report takes a different path, acknowledging the vital role farmers play in the food supply while still aiming to reduce children’s exposure to harmful chemicals.

The U.S. Supreme Court has requested the Justice Department’s opinion on whether to hear Bayer’s appeal regarding lawsuits claiming that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, as reported by Reuters. Bayer is seeking to limit such lawsuits, which could potentially save the company billions in damages. The appeal stems from a Missouri case where a jury awarded $1.25 million to a plaintiff who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup.

Bayer argues that federal law, which governs pesticide labeling through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), preempts state law claims. The company contends that it cannot add cancer warnings to Roundup’s label without violating federal regulations, as the EPA has found no evidence linking glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, to cancer. However, the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld the jury’s verdict, and similar rulings have been made in other courts.
