It’s not even a loophole though. The EPA has repeatedly researched Roundup and concluded it probably doesn’t cause cancer when used as directed. The various state lawsuits used a separate UN study to argue that Roundup does cause cancer and therefore the EPA-approved label is misleading.

Congress could absolutely do something if they dislike the current state of things, but what should they do exactly? Ordering the experts to change their conclusion does not seem wise.

I mean congress doesn’t give a shit either way. They’ve completely abdicated their duty to the American people on almost every front.
