Last week Reps. Tom Graves (R-GA) and Kurt Schrader (D-OR) introduced the Pest Free Food Supply Act (H.R. 1496), which would require EPA to withdraw a proposed regulation to remove the authorized food uses of sulfuryl fluoride (SF). Sulfuryl fluoride is a fumigant used in commodity and food processing facilities. If EPA’s proposal is finalized, food production and pest management sectors will be left without a broad-spectrum fumigant and few viable pest control alternatives.
