When I was doing my sprayer tickets the instructor had a list of things that required COSHH labels and I wish I'd asked for a photocopy. Lots of food ingredients in bulk have them and would obviously be found in far higher concentration in food than glyph' that has no COSHH label.

Errr, no. If you combine it before the harvest interval is up, it didn’t need it anyway. It doesn’t kill off the crop overnight.

Totally agree, why spray it and then go anyway? Any time I used it we left it well alone to do it's job. Had to do one field as terrible couch, but farmer sprayed all his fields and left well alone, combine driver remarked how easy the job went. Grass in behind was clean, too.

That acrylamide thing has been going years, I seem to remember it was caused by frying foods as well, high temperatures and burning causing them to be formed. It's been known about and added to the very long list of everything known to cause cancer in the state of California.
I understand certain additives in petrol and diesel are known carcinogens but no plan to phase these out yet.

Yes. That’s what happens in the ideal world, but we’re talking about the farming World here.
Nope, used it once pre harvest and couldn’t see the point, the weeds I was after we’re still green when the combine rolled 2 weeks later, left a bit to see and 3 weeks after spraying the weeds died, but the Wheat had started falling on the floor.

No, why would you??
To push the interval either the crop was past spraying when you did it, or it didn't need it in the first place, either way is a waste of money!!

Didn't the EU say it didn't cause cancer just a few days ago?

No. Why would say such a thing when you know not everyone is in the same situation ? The only people who are in that position are those who have too much land/work for the kit/staff they have.
Which is not everyone by any means.
Can pesticides or herbicides cause cancer?
No. There is no good evidence that eating foods with small amounts of pesticides or herbicides on the surface can increase the risk of cancer in people.

Roundup is in the catagory of ‘May cause cancer in humans’ As is
- Biomass fuel (primarily wood), emissions from household combustion
