The vertiginous growth of consumers' preference for making purchases over the internet has been accompanied by the possibility of obtaining almost any type of product, with little perception of the inherent risks of this practice. In Brazil, although legislation has determined for more than a decade which concentrations and presentations of pesticides can be marketed, the lack of information and knowledge still prevails among the general public. The present study aimed to analyze information provided on glyphosate-based products marketed on Brazilian websites to determine possible factors that influence consumers' decision-making process. For this purpose, a form was prepared to collect information concerning positive and negative aspects of the products, mentions of risks, prices and quality assessments. Our results showed the presence of very few guidelines regarding human health risks (n = 3) or accident risks (n = 1) arising from the misuse of chemical agents on the websites but at the same time a greater concern to show the efficacy (n = 19), mode (n = 26) and dose of application (n = 23). Such findings allow us to affirm that there is still a great void of knowledge concerning risks of these chemical agents, which has been perpetrated by the apparent negligence of companies in providing such information and of the public authorities in supervising this activity. It is important that inspection measures are taken with regard to the quality and safety of the information disclosed in these media, improving consumers' perception of the risks of the practice both for their personal health and for the environment.
