Peanut Organizations and Congress Comment on U.S. EPA’s Consideration of Revocation of Tolerances and Cancel Registrations for Certain Organophosphate Uses

Earthjustice petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to revoke tolerances and cancel registrations for the food uses of organophosphates. The U.S Peanut Federation, Georgia Peanut Commission, American Peanut Shellers Association and other peanut organizations filed comments in opposition to the revocation of tolerances or cancellation of registrations for certain organophosphate uses.

In addition, peanut state members of Congress also have raised concerns with the U.S. EPA.
