    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.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a rule that exempts the microbial pesticide Beauveria bassiana strain BW149 from needing a tolerance level for residues on all food products. BioWorks, Inc. requested this exemption, arguing the pesticide is safe when used properly, with no harmful effects expected from exposure to humans, including children. The EPA determined that using this strain in agriculture following label directions does not pose health risks and thus does not require a specified permissible level for its residues. This rule is effective as of February 25, 2025.
