Alar Pulled From U.S. Market by Uniroyal Amid Apple Scare
Uniroyal Chemical said it will remove daminozide marketed as Alar from the U.S. market immediately while continuing to sell it abroad. EPA officials welcomed the move to reduce exposure risk as government plans a future ban on daminozide in foods, though no ban is yet in place. Apple growers say sales have plunged, with losses exceeding $100 million, while Uniroyal defends the chemical’s safety and stresses ongoing scientific review.
