Guidance and Reference Materials

"Some similar products are not antimicrobial pesticides! Some antimicrobial products are used to prevent infection by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms within or on living things. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are one example. These products are considered drugs and they are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the product label includes an EPA registration number, then EPA regulates the product. If the product label includes "Drug Facts" then FDA regulates the product. If the product label doesn't contain either of these elements, it may be a cleaner. Neither the EPA nor the FDA regulate cleaners because they do not claim to kill any pest or prevent any disease. If you need assistance, contact NPIC at 1-800-858-7378 and one of our trained pesticide specialists will assist you in identifying who regulates your product."
