Summary
The EPA is setting safety limits for fluopyram, a pesticide used on crops, to ensure it doesn't harm people who eat treated food. The agency reviewed scientific data to determine how much of this pesticide can safely remain on fruits, vegetables, and grains sold to consumers.
Key Points
- 1The EPA established maximum allowed amounts of fluopyram residue on various crops including berries, tree nuts, and vegetables
- 2These limits are based on toxicity studies to protect consumers, especially children, from pesticide exposure through food
- 3Farmers and pesticide manufacturers must follow these tolerance levels when using fluopyram on crops intended for the U.S. market
- 4Food imported into the United States must also meet these safety standards
- 5The regulation allows fluopyram to be used as a fungicide while maintaining public health protections
Impact Assessment
If you are a farmer or agricultural manufacturer, this means you can continue using fluopyram on crops as long as residue levels on harvested food stay within EPA-established safety limits.
