The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safer Choice Program reviews and recognizes best-in-class chemical-based formulations and products that meet its stringent criteria. The Safer Choice label helps consumers and commercial buyers identify and select products with safer chemical ingredients, without sacrificing quality or performance.
EPA's Safer Choice program is important because it offers a nationally recognized and credible label that focuses on providing products that contain less toxic ingredients. The label is endorsed by retailers, non-profits, government and manufacturers.
