In a significant move towards promoting change in consumer culture, Costco is reportedly the first major retailer to pull products containing Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicide from its shelves after years of advocacy.
The use of glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, continues to rise worldwide, despite studies highlighting its adverse effects such as liver disease and cancer.
Costco’s decision assumes significance as glyphosate is not only utilized on an industrial scale but is also sold to individual consumers for domestic use.
Reports reveal that Roundup, distributed by Scotts Miracle-Gro under an exclusive contract with Monsanto, is a top-selling herbicide for home use in the U.S., with major retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart contributing significantly to its sales revenue.
Recent litigation against Monsanto, resulting in a substantial settlement awarded to a patient suffering from terminal cancer due to glyphosate exposure, underscores the urgency for retailers to discontinue selling this toxic product.
The advocacy group Moms Across America claims that Costco is discontinuing the sale of Roundup in response to public outcry and mounting legal challenges against glyphosate.
Efforts are now underway to urge other major retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot to follow Costco’s lead in removing glyphosate products from their inventory.
Concerned citizens are encouraged to reach out to Lowe’s and Home Depot to request the discontinuation of sales of carcinogenic products like glyphosate and explore safer alternatives for weed control.
