Minnesota prohibits PFAS in pesticide registration for 11 product categories

Beginning January 1, 2026, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture may not register or renew registration of pesticide products in the 11 PFAS-prohibited categories (carpets/rugs, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, dental floss, fabric treatments, juvenile products, menstruation products, textile furnishings, ski wax, upholstered furniture) if they contain intentionally added PFAS, unless the commissioner determines the use is a currently unavoidable use. A broader prohibition applies to all pesticide products effective January 1, 2032, requiring CUU determination for any pesticide containing intentionally added PFAS.
