Original Note:
The US has stricter regulations on chlormequat than the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada. In the US, its use on food crops is banned. In 2018 regulations were changed so that foods treated with chlormequat can now be imported to the US - not the other way around. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/02/16/what-is-chlormequat-chemical-pesticide-cheerios-quaker-oats/72627355007/ https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2024/02/ewg-finds-little-known-toxic-chemical-four-out-five-people-tested
