Key Points: 
  • According the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ), food can become contaminated at many points in the food chain, from production to distribution to retail.
  • For example, fields can be irrigated with tainted water, so fruits and vegetables can be contaminated before harvest.
  • Additionally, "fresh produce can be contaminated if it is loaded into a truck that was not cleaned after transporting animals or animal products," the CDC reports.
  • Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date of this release.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused its attention on chemical substances and chemical mixtures, while largely exempting the regulation of chemicals in "articles," generally meaning finished products or manufactured goods. EPA's more recent announcement of its intent to regulate chemicals in articles to a much greater extent has caught many in the regulated industries off guard and reflects a significant shift in U.S. chemical regulation policy. This change in policy affects all commercial entities that deal with a physical product, as they must now become familiar with the law, its requirements, and the chemical makeup of their finished goods. This webinar will cover the policy changes that led to the regulation of articles, EPA's authority to regulate these articles, and what companies need to know to stay in compliance.

Key Points: 
  • This webinar will cover the policy changes that led to the regulation of articles, EPA's authority to regulate these articles, and what companies need to know to stay in compliance.
  • Register now to join Richard E. Engler, Ph.D. , Eve Gartner , and Lynn L. Bergeson for the Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.
  • (B&C) webinar " Articles under TSCA " from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. (EST) on December 7, 2022.
  • Ms. Gartner works with groups around the country to develop state policies that will reduce exposures to chemicals and pesticides.
