EPA Accepts Petitions for New Pesticide Residue Limits in Food
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Environmental Protection Agency has received three separate requests from companies asking for permission to use specific chemicals on food crops. Under federal law, the EPA must publish these requests and allow the public a chance to comment before making any final decisions. This notice is part of that required review process.
Why it matters: This action does not change any rules today. It simply opens the door for public feedback on whether these chemicals should be allowed in food and at what levels. The EPA will review the comments and data before deciding if it grants, denies, or modifies these requests.

- Pesticide manufacturers and agricultural companies seeking new uses for their products
