What you need to know about the Butterfly Reproductive Initiative

On February 3, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice to manufacturers of some of the more than 1,300 insect-reproducing chemicals and food preservatives, which are approved for use on eggs, animals, fish and plants.
Among the chemicals the FDA is asking companies to stop selling are one called Butterfly Rejuvenating Insecticide and another called Insect Rejuvenator.
The products are widely used in poultry and eggs, which is why they are a hot topic.
The FDA wants to know whether the pesticides can affect the developing fetuses of chicks.
The agency has also asked the manufacturer to stop making the insecticides in any form that might be used to sterilize eggs or to kill pests, and to stop using any chemical that might alter or kill other organisms.
Butterfly Rejuviator and Insect Rejuvator are the two insecticides the FDA has been asked to halt, while another is called Leflanc (which has a similar chemical name).
The FDA is considering whether it wants to order other insecticides, such as the fungicide Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), or other pesticides, such the insecticide pyrethroidin, to be used in the United States.
Both of those products are also approved for insects.
The use of pesticides on birds has long been a contentious issue in the U, with a few prominent lawmakers, including the U of S’ Michael MacKay, calling for a ban.
In response, the FDA issued a public health advisory on February 7.
The advisory called for continued monitoring of the safety of the chemicals and pesticides, noting that the agency had received more than 200 reports of adverse effects on the reproductive systems of birds and that a study found no health concerns associated with exposure to pesticides in eggs or chicks.
As for the safety in humans, the advisory said, “the safety profile of this pesticide and its metabolites has not been established.”
The FDA also noted that it was concerned about the effects on people with allergies to the pesticides.
“Consumers with allergies should monitor their exposures and be aware that certain pesticides are known to have potential to affect the immune system, including diazinon, the fungicides and pyrethroids,” the advisory concluded.
The safety of consuming these chemicals in the context of eating eggs, however, has not yet been established.
A statement from the FDA says that it has received more then 100,000 comments from the public on the agency’s notice and has received nearly 4,600 responses from the U S. public.
As part of the public comment period, the agency also received comments from several U. S. senators, including Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Republican Sen in Iowa, Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
The U. s senators, however are asking the FDA to stop the sale of these pesticides in the country.
They have written to the FDA asking the agency to reconsider the safety assessment and the advisory, saying that it is important that people are not exposed to pesticides.
The senators also said that the FDA should reconsider the recommendation to use Bt and Pyrethroid in poultry feed, as the FDA’s review process is far from complete.
“Pesticides are one of the most dangerous ingredients in the food supply, and we need to get the message out that the risks associated with consuming these pesticides are very real,” the senators wrote in their letter to the agency.
“It is important for us to ensure that the safety and effectiveness of these chemicals are carefully considered in the formulation and use of feed in the US.”
The senators added that they also hope the FDA will review the safety data from studies on pregnant women, including that of researchers at the University of California, San Diego.
The American Medical Association has also issued a statement urging the FDA not to take action to ban insecticides.
The AMA, which represents more than 500,000 physicians and other health professionals, said that “the risks of exposure to insecticides are well known to all of us.”
“The safety of insecticides is well known,” said AMA President Dr. Robert C. DeWitt.
“The AMA has long urged the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services to keep out the use of insecticide-treated feed for birds.”
The American Veterinary Medical Association also issued its own statement in support of the FDA advisory, urging that the agencies review the results of their own safety studies.
“A recent report published by the CDC, National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), has shown that the risk to pregnant birds is much lower when consuming insecticides from Bt-tetrahydrobiotech (Btu-t) and Btu-trichloropropyl (Bcpa-trifluorophosphate) products,” the AMA said.
