EPA Sets Tolerance for Dinotefuran at Food and Feed Handling Facilities

The Environmental Protection Agency set a pesticide tolerance for residues of dinotefuran in all food or feed commodities in handling establishments where these products are held, stored, processed, prepared or served. The tolerance does not apply to commodities already covered by a higher tolerance because of use on growing crops or inadvertent residues, the EPA said. Compliance with the tolerance level should be determined by measuring only dinotefuran. The tolerance is effective April 10. Objections and requests for hearings are due by June 10.
