The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule that allows an exemption from tolerance requirements for residues of Inactivated Burkholderia rinojensis strain A396 cells and spent fermentation media on all food commodities, as long as they are used according to label directions and good agricultural practices. This decision means there's no need to set a maximum residue limit because the EPA determined that these substances are safe and pose no significant risk to humans, including children. Objections or requests for a hearing concerning this decision must be submitted by April 28, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA decided that a special kind of microorganism and leftover stuff from making it, used in farming, are safe and don't need strict safety checks on food. This means farmers can use it without worrying about specific limits if they follow the rules.
