George,
Unless your into the all natural organic thing, Isn't just about all the
fungicides we apply to our plants poisonous, such as sulfur, copper, captan
etc.?
Most of us use or AG's for competition, not food consumption. I would suspect
that
when a product is not approved for pumpkins, they are "C.Y.A." in general due
to
the pumpkins that are used for food consumption.

Most fungicides are poisonous but systemic dosen't break down quickly, like
most surface applications. UV is the primary cause of insecticide & fungicide
breakdown. FDA dosen't differentiate between non-food Pumpkins and Pumpkins
consumed, legally they are the same. To me the risk is not worth it.
