The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a list of new petitions received throughout 2025 and early 2026. These petitions ask the agency to either create new regulations or change existing ones regarding how much of certain pesticide chemicals can remain on various food products and commodities.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative update used to track requests for changes to food safety standards. It matters because it signals which pesticide regulations may be subject to change in the future, though no immediate changes to law or policy have occurred.
