==Regulation==
Developed and produced by [Bayer](/source/Bayer), it was approved in 2012 by the U.S. [Environmental Protection Agency](/source/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency)<ref name=mda/> and in 2013 it was approved in the EU for use as an active ingredient in pesticides.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2013:225:0013:0016:DE:PDF | title = Durchführungsverordnung (EU) Nr. 802/2013 Der Kommission | language = German | date = August 2013}}</ref>

Pesticide products containing fluopyram have been banned in [Denmark](/source/Denmark) because the chemical can degrade into [trifluoroacetic acid](/source/trifluoroacetic_acid), which can then contaminate groundwater and not decompose.<ref>{{cite web |title=Denmark bans more PFAS pesticides to protect groundwater |url=https://www.pan-europe.info/blog/denmark-bans-more-pfas-pesticides-protect-groundwater |publisher=Pesticide Action Network Europe |access-date=6 November 2025 |date=October 6, 2025}}</ref>
