Evaluate the drafted changes
The lead section includes a clear introductory sentence and is concise, but it is missing information from some of the main sections of the article such as "regulatory history" and "supply chain issues". I would suggest adding a "definition" section to reiterate what glyphosate-based herbicides are as briefly described in the lead section.

The article is well-organized and the material is balanced.

The content added is relevant, up-to-date, neutral, and unbiased, but should be proof-read for proper grammar. It would also be beneficial to explain why it was stated that the LC50 seems like a high amount, but actually is not. All new content added is backed up by reliable thorough secondary sources of information (National Pesticide Information Center fact sheets), however, the content does not accurately reflect what the cited sources say in terms of the LC50. The article does not specify how the LC50 was determined while the cited source lists several different numbers and the one chosen happens to represent inhalation of glyphosate by rats for 4 hours.

Adding a well-captioned image of glyphosate would visually enhance the article.

Overall, quality content has been added, but it was only two sentences worth. A lot more information should be added about the fate of glyphosate in the environment, toxicity, and ecotoxicity.
