* Originally listed as 15.0 ppm. EPA corrected in a June 2, 2005, letter to FAN
** Cottonseed is incorporated into livestock feed as a high protein supplement.
*** In 2006, in response to the strong objection of FAN to this dangerous tolerance, EPA told us they retracted it and replaced the tolerance with vague wording that allows eggs to be “incidentally” fumigated. However, in 2012, the Federal Code of Regulations have it listed as 900 ppm.
TABLE 2. Sulfuryl fluoride Use in Food and Feed Processing Plants. Approved July 15, 2005. (2) |
EPA states in its July 15, 2005 Final Rule (2): tolerances are established in association with the use of sulfuryl fluoride for the tolerances approved on this date “as a result of the treatment of areas and equipment within food and feed processing plants with sulfuryl fluoride for the control of insects. The term food and feed processing plant includes those facilities specifically listed under the Food and Feed Processing Plants subgroup within pesticide use site group 12 in Appendix A to 40 CFR part 158.”
