The EPA has set standards for applicants including stringent human and environmental health criteria. The Safer Choice program helps distinguish products that are safe for human health and the environment.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has made the Safer Choice standards more relevant than ever,” said Daniele Piergentili, vice president, home and personal care, BASF North America. “Consumers are looking for cleaning products that perform well while being safe.
