Table of Contents
The Environmental Protection Agency has published a final rule establishing tolerances for residues of the pesticide carboxin. A tolerance is the maximum amount of a pesticide residue that the federal government allows on food.
Why it matters: This is a standard administrative action. It ensures that food safety standards are codified in law for this specific chemical. For most people, this means nothing changes in their daily lives. It matters primarily to the companies that grow, process, or sell these specific crops, as they must ensure their products do not exceed these legal limits.
Who it affects
- UPL Delaware Inc., the company that requested the tolerances
