### Chlormaquat Pesticide, EPA Import Regulations and Health Concerns

- **Episode:** [1635: Munich Meetup](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1635-munich-meetup.md)
- **Published:** 2024-02-18

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1635-munich-meetup/chapter/chlormaquat-pesticide-epa-import-regulations-and-health-concerns.md

A study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) detected the pesticide chlormaquat in 90% of tested oat-based foods, including Quaker Oats and Cheerios. While the EPA restricts the chemical to ornamental plants domestically, it allows the importation of food crops treated with it from other countries. Animal studies suggest the chemical may disrupt reproductive systems and fetal growth, leading to calls for stricter government testing and regulation.
