Bill Huser, Sioux Honey vice president of research and development, said he could not comment on the lawsuits. He released the following statement: "We acknowledge that a lawsuit has just recently been filed against Sioux Honey regarding allegations that our products may contain glyphosate, a chemical found in a herbicide used by farmers throughout the United States. We are currently investigating the facts surrounding these allegations and plan to respond further once our investigation has been completed. We do note, though, that the (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) has concluded that glyphosate is not likely to be a carcinogen."
