Imidacloprid has undergone an extensive evaluation in 2007 by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Imidacloprid is not considered to be a carcinogen, teratogen or reproductive toxicant. It is classified as a pesticide of moderate toxicity by the World Health Organization following acute exposure.
