Oxyfluorfen

Oxyfluorfen is a pre-emergent herbicide commonly used in agriculture and landscaping to control broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is not a food ingredient and is classified as a synthetic chemical material with potential health and environmental risks. Exposure can occur via inhalation, dermal contact, or ingestion through contaminated food or water. The EPA classifies oxyfluorfen as a possible human carcinogen based on animal studies, with potential toxicity to liver and thyroid. It is not approved for direct food use but residues may be found in treated crops.
