- News 03/16/1989 Alar Use on Apples P89-12 Food and Drug Administration FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chris Lecos - (202) 245-1144 The following statement is being issued jointly by Frank E. ... Department of Agriculture: In the last few weeks there has been a growing public controversy over the potential harmful effects of a chemical called Alar, which is used by apple growers to retain the crispness of their fruit as it goes to market. ... Data used by NRDC, which claims cancer risks from Alar are 100 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency estimates, were rejected in 1985 by an independent scientific advisory board created by Congress. Alar has been used for decades in apple growing, and it has been the subject of many studies on possible harmful side effects. A recent progress report on preliminary results from an ongoing study shows that a breakdown product of Alar caused certain kinds of tumors in mice. Based on this report, EPA has begun the process to phase out Alar in apple growing if the final data, which will be independently reviewed, demonstrate a need for cancellation. ... EPA believes the potential risk from Alar is not of sufficient certainty and magnitude to require immediate suspension of the use of this chemical. ... Both FDA and EPA believe that Alar use over this interim period is safe and does not pose a health risk to the American public. Available data show overwhelmingly that apples carry very small amounts of Alar. ... It should also be noted that risk estimates for Alar and other pesticides based on animal testing are rough and are not precise predictions of human disease. ...

5. Alar Shifts the Focus of Public Debate

- Alar Shifts the Focus of Public Debate.
- In the winter and spring of 1989 the CBS news program "60 Minutes" ran two hard-hitting segments focusing on pesticide regulatory issues, using the EPA's inability to deal with potential cancer risks to children posed by daminozide (Alar) as a prominent example. ...
- Alar, or daminozide, is a plant growth regulator that was used to keep ripening apples on the tree, which helped growers save labor (picking) costs and improved the cosmetic appearance and keeping quality of red apples. ... This unavoidable metabolite of Alar was formed when apples containing daminozide residues were heat-processed to make juice or applesauce. ...
- EPA's efforts to ban Alar had been frustrated by the determined resistance of the manufacturer (Uniroyal Chemical Co. ... EPA officials, interviewed in both "60 Minutes" segments, tried to explain why they had not acted to remove Alar from the market despite clear evidence of a significant risk. ... John Moore, said his inability to cancel Alar revealed "the paradox of the statute. " That is, as Moore explained, the law required EPA to prove that chemicals already on the market posed substantial risks before they could be cancelled, while a new chemical with risks comparable to Alar's would be denied registration. ...
- During the early peak of publicity over Alar, the EPA, USDA and FDA issued a joint statement aimed at calming public anxiety. ...
- Others, including Consumers Union and CBS (in its second "60 Minutes" segment) quickly published residue data based on recent surveys and state-of-the-art methods, which showed that, grower's statements notwithstanding, Alar had been used on between 30 and 40 percent of the red apples then on sale, and that about two-thirds of apple juices contained at least some traces of the chemical. ...
- The Alar events were a painful experience for all involved -- federal officials, consumer and environmental leaders, apple growers and food processors, the media and of course Uniroyal. ...
- After the dust had settled, it became clear that the outburst over Alar had had several beneficial outcomes. First, Alar was removed from the market. ...
- The apple industry, which had been seriously over committed to a single variety, Red Delicious, and which actually absorbed far greater economic losses in 1989 because of an oversupply of red apples that year than because of any impacts of the Alar debate (Roberts, 1994), is today more diversified and economically resilient. Growers in general are also much better prepared to discuss their pest management needs and practices with the public than they were before Alar, and there is probably better communication between growers and environmental organizations than existed before 1989. ...
- After Alar, the media grew more cautious in reporting on risks, and while there had been an inevitable overreaction in the opposite direction (i. ...
