Overview
Food Navigator quoted Anthony Anscombe in an August 21 article titled "And Now the Food Lawsuits… General Mills Sued Over Glyphosate Residue Post Monsanto $289m Verdict." The article discusses what the verdict in the Dewayne Johnson vs Monsanto trial means for food companies manufacturing products containing trace levels of glyphosate.
Anscombe says: "I certainly expect to see more of this kind of filing. Obviously, from a scientific perspective, nothing has changed – the science behind cancer risks is very weak, and the Johnson verdict doesn’t prove otherwise. But the Johnson verdict did get big headlines. Some among the plaintiff class action bar will see a chance to capitalize on that. They may figure that the Johnson verdict puts some additional commercial pressure on food manufactures that a class action, by itself, might not."
