By P.J. Huffstutter CHICAGO (Reuters) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Monday pulled a report offline that concluded glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans, saying the document was inadvertently published and the agency had not finished its review of the chemical, which is the key ingredient in Monsanto's herbicides. The 86-page report, seen by Reuters and published on Friday on the regulations.gov website that the EPA manages, was from the EPA's cancer assessment review committee (CARC). It found that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the world's mostly widely used weedkiller, was “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.” The EPA took down the report and other documents on Monday afternoon, saying it did so “because our assessment is not final,” in an emailed statement to Reuters.
