The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 amended the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). These amendments
fundamentally changed the way EPA regulates pesticides. The
requirements included a new safety standard-reasonable certainty of
no harm-that must be applied to all pesticides used on foods. This
web site provides background information on FQPA's provisions and
discusses some of the specific issues raised by FQPA, as well as
status of implementation of this important law.
