EU-approved pesticide fluazinam linked to brain development risks
Original: EU-approved pesticide found to have potential effects on brain development
A new study finds fluazinam, a fungicide currently approved for use in the EU, may have potential effects on brain development, raising concerns about its neurotoxicity. The findings contradict an earlier safety assessment based on data supplied by the pesticide's manufacturer, prompting questions about how regulatory decisions are made and whether the approval should be reviewed.
Why now: The study contradicts the manufacturer-backed assessment underpinning the EU's approval, raising food safety and regulatory trust concerns.
