SaniDate 12.0’s Special Local Need Label
BioSafe Systems’ SaniDate 12.0’s receipt of the 24(c) SLN label signifies BioSafe Systems’ commitment to enhancing food safety in Arizona and beyond. This achievement results from collaborative efforts involving growers, Arizona state agencies, and the University of Arizona over the past several years. The improved label is designed to assist growers in meeting the stringent requirements of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and Arizona LGMA regulatory standards with confidence.
Significance of the 24(c) SLN Label
State agencies play a crucial role in determining the need for a unique local label when existing federally registered pesticides cannot effectively control emerging or impending pest problems. Additionally, a particular local need label may be granted if a product is proven more effective or less harmful than currently registered alternatives. This label ensures that growers can access the most suitable tools for their unique agricultural challenges while complying with regulations.
