Читать книгу Food Regulation - Neal D. Fortin - Страница 71

The FQPA amended prior pesticide legislation to establish a more consistent regulatory scheme based on current science. It mandates a single, health‐based standard for all pesticides in all foods, and provides special protections for infants and children, among other provisions. It also requires periodic reevaluation of pesticide registrations and tolerances to ensure that the scientific data supporting pesticide registrations will remain up to date in the future.
