Notice text
The USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service,/ Plant Protection and Quarantine needs to find new sources for Food Grade Methyl Paraben
Background:
Food Grade Methyl Paraben is used primarily in our artificial diet formula for its anti-fungal properties. The artificial diet is prepared and inoculated with Anastepha ludens eggs, held for eight (8) days in environmental controlled rooms conducive for larval development. Methyl paraben is necessary to control the fungal load in the diet of the developing larvae over the course of eight (8) days. There are two additional minor applications for this product for the production of adult diet formula and the fertile colony support.
