Abstract
Consumers are concerned about the safety of our food. While changes are needed in
the way our society deals with pesticides, the regulation of their use must be based on
science. Proposals by the Administration are designed to streamline and improve the
food safety regulatory network. The proposals would change pesticide registration and
cancellation procedures; make Federal regulations consistent by establishing a negligible
risk standard for processed foods; and establish national uniformity for tolerances.
