EPA Greenlights Safe Fluopyram on Your Mangoes
Published Date: 11/18/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA just set safe limits for fluopyram pesticide residues on mangoes, helping farmers and food makers know the rules. This new rule kicks in on November 18, 2025, and anyone who wants to object has until January 20, 2026, to speak up. It’s a win for safe food and clear guidelines without extra costs for growers or manufacturers.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
EPA found no cancer risk; infants protected
EPA concluded there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to the general population and to infants and children from fluopyram residues and determined fluopyram does not pose a cancer risk. EPA also retained a Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor of 1X for infants and children.
Mango fluopyram tolerance set at 1 ppm
EPA established a legal limit for fluopyram pesticide residues in or on mango at 1 part per million (1.0 ppm). The tolerance is effective November 18, 2025 and is added to 40 CFR 180.661.
No new costs or mandates for industry
EPA states this tolerance action does not impose an enforceable duty on the private sector, does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or more, and does not create new information-collection burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply to this petition-based tolerance action.
Import tolerance aligned with Codex MRL
The petition established an import tolerance for fluopyram in or on mango at 1.0 ppm and EPA notes there are no U.S. registrations for this use. EPA also notes the Codex maximum residue limit (MRL) for fluopyram on mango is 1 ppm, the same level established by this rule.
