Noooo, it is totally safe - Monsanto/Bayer said so in the studies they paid for! It’s so safe that the EU wants to allow it for at least another ten years.
They paid most settlements because they were negligent in their use instructions. That lead to people dunking into barrels to mix roundup, and spraying it while getting soaked through their shirts and shorts.
While I absolutely agree that companies need to create proper instructions, the fact that swimming in a chemical is dangerous doesn't mean it's dangerous for consumers to eat vegetables that it was used on.
