(2) Inorganic
bromide may be present as a residue incertain
processed foods in accordance with the following conditions:
(i) When inorganic
bromide residues are is present as a result of
fumigation of the processed food with methyl bromide or from such
fumigation in addition to the authorized use of methyl bromide
on the
source rawagricultural commodity, as provided for in this
[[Page 352]]
part, the
totalresidues of inorganic bromides (calculated as Br) shall
not exceed thefollowing levels:
(A) 400 parts
per million in or on dried egg and processed
herbs
and spices.
(B) 325 parts per million in or on parmesan
cheese and roquefort
cheese.
(C) 250 parts per million in or on concentrated
tomato products and
dried fig.
(D) 125 parts per million in or on processed
foods other than those
listed above.
(ii) When
inorganic bromide residues are present in fermented
malt
beverages in accordance with 21 CFR 172.730(a)(2), the
amount shall not
exceed 25 parts per million (calculated as Br).
(iii) Where tolerances are established on both the raw agricultural
commodities and processed foods made therefrom, the total residues
of
inorganic bromides in or on the processed
food shall not be greater than
those designated in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, unless
a higher
level is established elsewhere in this part.
(3) Tolerances
are established for residues of inorganic bromides
(calculated as Br) as follows:
(i) 400 parts
per million for residues in or on dog food,
resulting
from fumigation with methyl bromide.
(ii) 125 parts per million for residues in or on milled fractions
for animal feed from barley, corn,
grain sorghum (milo), oats, rice,
rye, and wheat, resulting directly from fumigation with methyl
bromide
or from carryover and concentration of residues of inorganic bromides
from fumigation of the grains with methyl bromide.
(b) Section 18 emergency exemptions. [Reserved]
(c) Tolerances with regional registrations. A tolerance with
regional registration, as defined in Sec. 180.1(n), is established
for
residues of inorganic bromides (calculated as Br) in or on the
following
food commodity grown in soil fumigated with methyl bromide.

Sec.
180.123a Inorganic bromide
residues in peanut hay and peanut hulls; statement of policy.
(a)
Investigations by the Food and Drug Administration show
that peanut hay and peanut shells have been used as feed
for meat and dairy animals. While many growers now harvest
peanuts with combines and leave the hay on the ground to
be incorporated into the soil, some growers follow the practice
of curing peanuts on the vines in a stack and save the hay
for animal feed. Peanut shells or hulls have been used to
a minor extent as roughage for cattle feed. It has been
established that the feeding to cattle of peanut hay and
peanut hulls containing residues
of inorganic bromides will contribute considerable residues
of inorganic bromides to the meat and milk.
(b)
There are no tolerances for inorganic bromides in meat and
milk to cover residues from use of such peanut hulls as
animal feed. Peanut hulls containing residues of inorganic
bromides from the use of methyl bromide are unsuitable as
an ingredient in the feed of meat and dairy animals and
should not be represented, sold, or used for that purpose.
