Summary
The EPA is reviewing rules about chlorantraniliprole, a pesticide used on crops, to decide whether to allow it, limit it, or remove it from the market. The agency is accepting public comments until January 2026 to help determine how this pesticide should be regulated to protect people and the environment.
Key Points
- 1Chlorantraniliprole is an insecticide used by farmers to control crop-damaging insects on vegetables, fruits, and other plants
- 2The EPA is reconsidering how much of this pesticide can remain on food and in the environment, which affects what farmers can use and what residues may end up on groceries
- 3Anyone—including farmers, environmental groups, and concerned citizens—can submit comments to the EPA by January 17, 2026 to influence this decision
- 4The EPA must review scientific evidence about whether chlorantraniliprole is safe for people who eat treated foods and for the environment
- 5This decision will likely affect farming practices and potentially food prices, depending on whether the EPA tightens, loosens, or maintains current pesticide limits
