Dear Editors,

an article we cited in-text (p. 1111, 1112, 1113) and in our reference list (p. 1115) should be removed because the citation information is incorrect and the article is superfluous to the other publications from the lay press that we also cited. The reference that should be deleted from our article is:

Mozart M (2025). Glyphosate safety article retracted eight years after Monsanto ghostwriting revealed in court. Retraction Watch. https://retractionwatch.com/2025/12/04/glyphosate-safety-article-retracted-elsevier-monsanto-ghostwriting/
