In a recent publication in this journal, Deising et al. (J Plant Dis Prot 124: 413-419, 2017. https://doi. org/10.1007/s41348017-0109-5) stated that the application of microbial plant protection products poses a serious unpredictable health risk. Here I discuss why I disagree with their assessment and argue instead that microbial plant protection products are not posing serious health risks and therefore are safe to use in agriculture.
