In May, Trump’s EPA also rolled back limits on some PFAS in drinking water and canceled a collection of research projects that were part of a $15 million investment into understanding PFAS contamination on farms and in food.

The bill also includes language prohibiting funds from being used to change pesticide labeling in any way that conflicts with the EPA’s human health assessments. The pesticide industry has been lobbying lawmakers to strengthen the agency’s authority on pesticide labels as a way to prevent states from adopting labels that advise of different potential risks and to curb lawsuits, but it’s unclear exactly what impact this provision might have.

The bill will now be taken up by the full House Appropriations Committee and then go to Senate appropriators, who could make significant changes; if they do, then the House will need to re-vote on the updated bill.

In June, the House appropriations bill dedicated to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) funding took a similar tack to stop and reverse progress on a set of rules meant to protect farmers from meatpacker abuse. But when the Senate took up the bill this week, it removed that provision. Senators also restored Supplemental Nutrition Assistance for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) funding for fruits and vegetables, included funding for Food for Peace and the McGovern-Dole Food for Education program, which Trump proposed eliminating, and largely maintained appropriations funding for USDA and FDA programs.

Congress has until October to finish the appropriations process and pass final bills. (Link to this post.)

Correction: This post has been updated to clarify that the bill will go to the full House Appropriations Committee next.
