Cypermethrin; Pesticide Tolerance(s)

HealthEnvironment
← Back to Policy Watchlist

What happened

Donald Trump signed a final rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishing a pesticide tolerance for cypermethrin (CASRN 52315-07-8) on dried cacao beans. This action was prompted by a petition from the National Confectioners Association. The rule is effective on August 20, 2026.

Why it matters

This regulation ensures food safety by setting a legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in a food commodity, aiming for "reasonable certainty that no harm will result." This affects the production and sale of products containing cacao, such as chocolate.

Who it affects

  • ›Agricultural producers (NAICS code 111)
  • ›Food manufacturers (NAICS code 311)
  • ›Pesticide manufacturers (NAICS code 32532)
  • ›National Confectioners Association
