Abstract

The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) (P.L. 104-170, formerly known as H.R. 1627) became law in the United States in 1996 after being passed by the US congress and signed by President Clinton. The FQPA established new safety standards on the use of pesticides to be applied by US Environmental Protection Agency. The FQPA amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FPQA mandated a health-based standard for pesticides used in infant foods, providing special protection for babies and infants. Registrants, applicants, or applicants for pesticide product registration, reregistrations or tolerance exemption are advised to consider FQPA.
