In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Iarc), a branch of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate—the active ingredient in Roundup—as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” A year later, Johnson filed a lawsuit claiming that Ranger Pro, a commercial-grade variant of Roundup, was a substantial contributing factor in causing his Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
