Pesticide products with intentionally added PFAS are regulated by the MDA while treated articles, such as pesticide treated seeds, with intentionally added PFAS are regulated by the MPCA. Many pesticide products may be used in or on treated articles. The MDA and the MPCA are working together to determine how CUU exemptions will be handled for treated articles. The MPCA will conduct rulemaking for laying out their CUU exemption process including for treated articles. Guidelines for treated article CUU exemptions will be posted on MDA’s website, when finalized.
