EPA Halts Expansion of Safer Choice Program Amid Budget Cuts, Reducing Funding by Nearly $524,201.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided not to expand its voluntary toxic-free labeling program, Safer Choice, due to budget cuts. The Biden administration had requested nearly $1.1 million for the program’s implementation in fiscal 2024, but Congress provided $524,201 less than the requested amount, a reduction of 48%, according to EPA spokesperson Jeff Landis. The program allows businesses to submit their products for toxicological review in exchange for an EPA-approved logo if they meet the standard, and has certified over 2,000 products.
