What does FIFRA stand for?

• A. Federal law regulating the sale and use of pesticides in the US
• B. Federal law regulating pesticide labeling in consumer products
• C. State law regulating pesticides in Massachusetts
• D. International treaty on pesticide regulation

Answer: (A)

FIFRA is the federal law that regulates how pesticides are sold and used in the United States. That scope—federal authority over the sale, distribution, and use of pesticides—is what this option captures best. It’s not limited to labeling in consumer products, not a state-only regulation, and not an international treaty. In reality, FIFRA (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) requires EPA registration of pesticides, proper labeling, and enforcement to ensure products are safe and properly used.
