Warning of widespread impacts throughout the food supply chain, wheat growers are spearheading a lawsuit against California for listing glyphosate as a carcinogen under the state's Proposition 65 law, which requires labeling of ingredients "known to the state to cause cancer."
Monsanto is one of the plaintiffs along with the National Association of Wheat Growers and other groups, such as the Missouri Farm Bureau, National Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Soybean Association, that filed the suit in federal court in California. Their complaint alleges constitutional violations under the First Amendment, the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Supremacy Clause.
At the center of the lawsuit is the International Agency for Research on Cancer, whose March 2015 conclusion that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic to humans" was the trigger for California's Prop 65 listing. Under California law, the state is required to list as cancer-causing any substances classified by IARC as probable carcinogens.
