What Does FQPA Stand For?
FQPA stands for Food Quality Protection Act
The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) is a significant piece of United States legislation enacted in 1996 aimed at ensuring the safety of pesticide residues in food. The act mandates a more stringent evaluation process for pesticides, emphasizing the protection of children and infants, and requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to consider cumulative effects and exposure from multiple sources. The FQPA also streamlines the registration process for safer agricultural practices, promoting overall public health and environmental sustainability.
