Pesticides: Options to Achieve a Single Regulatory Standard

  Premium   Download PDF Now (38 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 13, 1994
Report No. RCED-94-57
Subject
Summary:

Different standards in two key pesticide laws--the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act--have led to differences in the way pesticides used on foods are regulated. These differences have their basis in law rather than science. As a result, pesticides that have been found to cause cancer may be used on some foods but not on others, and the benefits of using pesticides, such as increased crop yields, may be considered in some but not all regulatory decisions. Several proposals are before Congress to establish a single regulatory standard. This report discusses (1) the federal pesticide laws and the policies that the Environmental Protection Agency developed to implement them and (2) legislative options for establishing a single standard for regulating the use of pesticides on food.
