Statement on RoundUp Active Ingredient Safety

The active ingredients in all Roundup Lawn & Garden products have been thoroughly studied, reviewed and approved by independent experts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and used safely and effectively in many different weed-control products from a variety of companies for decades. The report reaches its misleading conclusion through a methodology that is entirely inconsistent with how leading regulatory and health experts measure risk in how people use these products in the real world and in accordance with the label. Simply put, consumers can feel confident safely using Roundup products. 

• All Roundup weed-control products in the U.S., including our Roundup Lawn & Garden products, formulated for residential use, can be used safely under the approved label instructions. They have been thoroughly studied, reviewed and approved by independent experts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• The active ingredients found in our Roundup Lawn & Garden products in the U.S. are: fluazifop-p-butyl, triclopyr TEA salt, diquat dibromide and imazapic ammonium. These ingredients have been used safely and effectively in many different weed-control products from a variety of companies for decades.
• Bayer thoroughly assessed available options when introducing its new Roundup Lawn & Garden products and determined these ingredients would ensure the safety of consumers using these products and meet our customer needs. 
• We have been very transparent about the new formulation of Roundup Lawn & Garden products and are no longer producing glyphosate-based Roundup products for the U.S. residential lawn and garden market. While Bayer no longer produces or sells glyphosate-based Roundup products – which are also EPA-approved – some quantities may remain on store shelves until remaining stocks are sold.
