Diflufenican; Pesticide Tolerances
EPA established new tolerances for diflufenican residues on various commodities. This is a pesticide tolerance rule, not directly related to cosmetics or MoCRA. No immediate action required for cosmetics businesses.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Cosmetics & Personal-Care (MoCRA) space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. Cosmetics and personal care businesses (indie brands, contract manufacturers, private-label makers, importers/distributors) that may use agricultural ingredients potentially treated with diflufenican. should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: N/A. Acting after that point can mean penalties, a lapsed licence, or lost eligibility — exactly the kind of surprise Aforeworn exists to prevent. Aforeworn monitors Cosmetics & Personal-Care (MoCRA) continuously and turns every detected change into a plain-English briefing like this one, so you always know first. Forewarned is forearmed.
What changed
EPA set maximum residue limits for diflufenican on certain crops. This does not change any cosmetic regulations under MoCRA.
Who it affects
Cosmetics and personal care businesses (indie brands, contract manufacturers, private-label makers, importers/distributors) that may use agricultural ingredients potentially treated with diflufenican.
What you must do
No action required at this time. Monitor for any future FDA guidance on pesticide residues in cosmetic ingredients.
