2,4-D is an herbicide that helps farmers selectively control invasive weeds that can significantly reduce the amount of food they produce, if left unattended.
2,4-D has a recognized safety profile and an established, decades-long record of regulatory review and approval. More than 90 regulatory bodies around the world charged with protecting human health and the environment, alongside thousands of scientists, have approved the safety of 2,4-D when used as directed.
As an approved pesticide, 2,4-D is continually monitored, and unintended effects must be reported to regulators. All approved pesticides are reevaluated every 15 years in the U.S. to ensure the latest scientific data is considered and the product meets current standards for safe use.
