Glyphosate (Roundup) Is (Still) Not a Carcinogen (croplife.com)

More accurately: EPA says that the main ingredient in Roundup is not a carcinogen. At least the recent court case in Britain against Roundup was not relying on glyphosate being a carcinogen. There are multiple ingredients. For example POEA (polyethoxylated tallow amine) that works as surfactant.

Even if there was an effect, it can't be very high, so I'm not very worried.
