Traces of a popular weed killer have been found in the food and tap water of Canadians as well as in their blood and urine samples, according to a Department of Health briefing note.

While Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors deemed the levels of glyphosate found to be safe, the document presented to cabinet came just two weeks after the Ontario Superior Court certified a class action lawsuit against the makers of the herbicide, better known as Roundup.
