i A \ % ° WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 33 VpRO^& OFFICE OF CHEMICAL SAFETY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION Active Ingredients Eligible for Minimum Risk Pesticide Products (Updated December 2015) Provided below is the list of active ingredients that can be used in pesticide products that are exempt from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) under the Minimum Risk Exemption regulations in 40 CFR 152.25(f). How to Use this List: The list contains all the eligible active ingredients under 40 CFR 152.25(f)(1). Identify whether your active ingredient is eligible by comparing your ingredient with the label display name and chemical name, and that the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number matches the ingredient you intend to use. Additionally, ensure that your ingredient meets any specifications listed. Any eligible ingredient used must be listed on your product's label using the prescribed label display name. All listed active ingredients may be used in non-food use products. Under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and EPA implementing regulations at 40 CFR 180, products intended for use on food-use sites (e.g., used on food, food crops, food contact surfaces, or animal feed commodities) can only include active ingredients with applicable tolerances or tolerance exemptions in 40 CFR 180. Before labeling a minimum risk pesticide product for a food use, verify that the use you are labeling has been approved for each ingredient used in the product in 40 CFR 180.
