(Also known as: ABE IT 56; Extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain DDSF623; ABE-IT 56) |
A new bio-fungicide use to reduce disease incidence on some fruit and salad crops. The substance is related to 'brewers yeast' andf is considered to be safe in food. There is no evidence of significant environmental impact or negative health effects. |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
