The Environmental Protection Agency has established an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for a specific chemical mixture used in pesticide formulations. The chemical is alpha-d-glucopyranoside, beta-d-fructofuranosyl, mixed palmitates and stearates.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative action that simplifies compliance for pesticide manufacturers. It removes the bureaucratic step of defining a specific residue limit for this particular surfactant, allowing it to be used in formulations without additional testing or regulatory hurdles related to its presence on crops.
