\n SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 California can\u2019t require a cancer warning label on Roundup, the world\u2019s most widely used weed-killer, a federal judge ruled Monday.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge William Shubb issued a permanent injunction against the labeling, saying the state couldn\u2019t meet a legal standard for such a requirement, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.<\/p>\n

California requires warning labels on cancer-causing products under the state\u2019s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, app<\/a>roved by voters in 1986.<\/p>\n

The state wanted to label products containing glyphosate \u2014 the main ingredient in Monsanto\u2019s Roundup \u2014 because of a 2015 finding by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization, that glyphosate was a probable cause of cancer in humans.<\/p>\n

But Monsanto sued and in 2018 Shubb temporarily blocked the warning label. In issuing Monday\u2019s permanent injunction, the judge said the state can only require a private company to change its label if the statement is \u201cpurely factual and non-controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shubb said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and similar agencies in Europe haven\u2019t found a connection between the chemical and cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great weight of evidence indicates that glyphosate is not known to cause cancer,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

The decision is \u201ca very important ruling for California agriculture and for science<\/a>,\u201d Monsanto said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Trump administration said it wouldn\u2019t approve warning labels for products that contain glyphosate because its research showed the chemical poses no risks to public health.<\/p>\n

Monsanto contends the product is safe but is facing thousands of lawsuits. Cancer victims in Northern California have won nearly $200 million in awards in three lawsuits, including a couple last year who were awarded about $2 billion. That award was later reduced to $87 million.<\/p>\n

The verdicts are being appealed.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
