MEPs point out that Bentazone\u2019s consumer risk assessment has not been finalised and that data are missing, particularly on its potential for groundwater exposure. Moreover, a European Food Safety Authority peer review proposes classifying Bentazone, a selective post-emergent herbicide against broadleaved weeds in a wide range of crops, and is commonly used in agriculture, as having suspected reproductive toxicity potential for humans (category 2). The EU Commission has nonetheless proposed to renew Bentazone\u2019s EU authorisation until 31 January 2032, the maximum period possible, while simultaneously requesting data confirming its safety.<br \/>\n<strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/news-room\/20161117IPR51551\/bentazone-herbicide-meps-object-to-commission-plans-to-renew-eu-authorisation\">http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) approved a non-binding resolution stating that the EU authorisation for Bentazone herbicide, which expires &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9,33],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
