- The EWG continues to needlessly incite consumer concerns
regarding food safety based on their review of the data
presented in the USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) report. The
review uses an unscientific method that misrepresents the
report's findings. Crop protection products not only play an
important role in providing an abundant and affordable food
supply, but are also rigorously tested and regulated by
government agencies to ensure the safety of consumers. CropLife
America (CLA), whose members represent the developers,
manufacturers, formulators and distributors of crop protection
products, remind the public of these important facts upon the
Environmental Working Group's (EWG) release of the annual "Dirty
Dozen" report. The EWG continues to needlessly incite consumer
concerns regarding food safety based on their review of the data
presented in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Pesticide
Data Program (PDP) report. The review uses an unscientific
method that misrepresents the report's findings. C
