Better Regulation Of Pesticide Exports

And Pesticide Residues

In Imported Food Is Essential


Pesticides suspended, canceled, or never re-
gistered for use in the United States because
of hazards associated with their use are ex-
ported routinely. Serious injuries have oc-
curred from the use of these pesticides in
other countries. The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency in many cases has neither in-
formed other governments of pesticide sus-
pensions, cancellations, and restrictions in the
United States nor revoked tolerances for resi-
dues of these pesticides on imported food.

The Food and Drug Administration does not
analyze imported food for many potential res-
idues. It allows food to be marketed before
testing it for illegal residues. Importers are not
penalized if their imports later are determined
to contain illegal residues. The safety and ap-
propriateness of some residues allowed on im-
ported food has not been determined.
