How long has ProvisionGard™ been in use, and how safe is it?

Posted on

ProvisionGard’s insect-inhibiting active is approved for direct application to many food/feed crops, and for use in food/feed processing facilities; it has been in use since 1975. Due to EPA regulation 40CFR Part 180.1033, residues are acceptable for all food/feed commodities. Based on a risk assessment, the EPA concluded that “there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to residues of methoprene.” (Final Rule, Federal Register 68(112):34845-9, July 11, 2003)
Consequently, any residues in foods/feeds from its use would be of no concern to the EPA or FDA.
