Hana ʻo PDP i ka laʻana a me ka hoʻāʻo makahiki e loaʻa ai ka ʻikemea pepehi lāʻau makenā koena i loko o nā lako meaʻai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hoʻāʻo ʻo PDP i nā ʻano meaʻai kūloko a me nā meaʻai i lawe ʻia mai, me ka nānā nui ʻana i nā meaʻai i ʻai pinepine ʻia e nā pēpē a me nā keiki.
Ua noʻonoʻo ka US Environmental Protection Agency i nā pae hōʻino a me nā hopena olakino o nā pesticides i ka meaʻai a hoʻonohonoho i nā palena koena kiʻekiʻe loa (MRLs) no nā pesticides i loko o nā meaʻai.

Ua loiloi hou ʻo Consumer Reports i ka ʻikepili PDP me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi pae hoʻohālikelike ma lalo o ka EPA MRL a kani i ka leo hoʻāla ma kekahi mau huahana. Hiki ke heluhelu ʻia kahi hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo o ka loiloi a Consumer Reports ma aneʻi.
