The Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act (FIFRA) primarily regulates which of the following?

The Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act (FIFRA) is primarily focused on the regulation of pesticide products, which includes their manufacture, distribution, sale, and use in the United States. Under FIFRA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for assessing the safety and effectiveness of these products. This includes not only agricultural pesticides but also those used in non-agricultural settings, such as sanitizers in food establishments.

While sanitizers may be considered for their effectiveness in food safety, their classification under FIFRA highlights the act's role in ensuring that substances used to sanitize food contact surfaces meet safety and efficacy standards. Therefore, the regulation of sanitizers is directly tied to FIFRA's purpose, making it a pertinent focus of the act.

In contrast, food labeling practices fall under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pesticide manufacturing standards are indeed related to FIFRA, but they are more specifically pertaining to the production processes rather than the products directly used in food systems. Rodent control measures may involve the use of pesticides but are generally addressed through broader pest management guidelines rather than being the primary focus of FIFRA. Hence, the emphasis on sanitizers aligns more closely with FIFRA
