Code of Federal Regulations, “Pesticide Tolerances and Food and Feed Additive Regulations for Glyphosate” (Summary), 40 CFR §§ 180-186, 1992

ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY: This document establishes tolerances and food and feed additive regulations for the combined residues of the herbicide glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) and its metabolite aminomethyl phosphonic acid. The specific proposals are: an amended tolerance in or on the raw agricultural commodities (RACs) soybeans from 6 parts per million (ppm) to 20 ppm; a tolerance on soybean straw at 20 ppm; a food additive regulation proposing increases in tolerances for the processed human food instant tea from 4.0 ppm to 7.0 ppm; a feed additive regulation for citrus molasses at 1 ppm; and amended feed additive tolerances for dried citrus pulp from 0.4 ppm to 1 ppm and soybean hulls from 20 ppm to 100 ppm. These regulations were requested by the Monsanto Co. and would establish the maximum permissible residues of the herbicide in or on these RACs, this processed human food, and these animal feed commodities.  FULL TEXT
