EPA Sets Limits for New Fungicide on Produce

## Summary

The EPA just set safe limits for fluoxapiprolin pesticide residues on lots of veggies and fruits, helping farmers and food makers keep things safe and tasty. This rule kicks in on June 30, 2026, and anyone who wants to object has until August 31, 2026, to speak up. It’s a win for growers, food companies, and consumers who want safe produce without extra hassle.

## Abstract

This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of fluoxapiprolin in or on the food and feed commodities of brassica head and stem vegetables (group 5-16); bulb vegetables (subgroups 3-07A and 3-07B); cucurbit vegetables (group 9); fruiting vegetables (group 8- 10); leafy vegetables (group 4-16); leaf petiole vegetables (subgroup 22B); lettuce head; small fruit vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit (subgroup 13-07F); and tuberous and corm vegetables (subgroup 1C). Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Bayer CropScience submitted a petition to EPA requesting these tolerances.

## Effects PRIA read

- Legal residue limits on many produce items: benefit, low. The EPA established legal tolerances (maximum residue limits) for the fungicide fluoxapiprolin on many fruits and vegetables effective June 30, 2026. Tolerance levels include: small vine fruit (subgroup 13-07F) 0.2 ppm; grape, raisin 0.5 ppm; leaf petiole subgroup 22B 1.5 ppm; lettuce, head 0.8 ppm…
- Growers and food firms face new tolerances: benefit, medium. Agricultural producers, food manufacturers, and pesticide manufacturers are identified as potentially affected by the new tolerances that take effect June 30, 2026. EPA revised some petitioned values (e.g., vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 set at 0.07 ppm vs petitioned 0.06 ppm; vegetable, leafy, group…
