The new EPA ‘Safer Choice’ label

Wednesday, May 04, 2016

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safer Choice label can help you identify cleaning and other products that are safer for you, your family and the environment. More than 2,000 products currently qualify to carry the Safer Choice label. For the past 15 years EPA's label for safer chemical products has been known as the Design for the Environment, or the “DfE,” label. The agency spent more than a year collecting ideas and discussing new label options with stakeholders, such as product manufacturers and environmental and health advocates. Then it asked consumers what worked best for them: The result is the new Safer Choice label, pictured here:
