The implementation of the food quality protection act (FQPA) in increasing the safety standards for new pesticides used on foods
Abstract: This paper examines the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and its impact on enhancing safety standards for pesticides used on food in the United States. Initially, the study explores the Delaney Clause—a strict standard prohibiting carcinogenic food additives—which FQPA replaced with a more flexible "reasonable certainty of no harm" criterion. This shift allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess pesticide risk with consideration of potential benefits, even if a …
