Minnesota Statute defines manufacturer as “a guarantor, registrant, distributor, producer, or other person that creates or produces a product or whose brand name is affixed to the product. In the case of a product imported into the United States, manufacturer includes the importer or first domestic distributor of the product if the person that manufactured or assembled the product or whose brand name is affixed to the product does not have a presence in the United States.“
If more than one entity meets the definition of manufacturer, the Department will consider the party who controls the formulation of the product to be the manufacturer.

To the extent possible, the MDA will use jointly (with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) determined criteria to determine if the use of intentionally added PFAS in pesticide and fertilizer products is currently unavoidable. However, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) will follow rulemaking on currently unavoidable use which may lead to MPCA having different criteria when rulemaking is complete (goal: early 2026). After the MDA makes a determination, the agency may consult with the MPCA on the potential continued use of certain products.
