    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8707
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established tolerances for the pesticide streptomycin on specific citrus fruits and their dried pulp. These new limits are set for residues of the fungicide in the citrus group 10-10 at 0.8 ppm and in dried pulp at 3 ppm, based on a petition by Geo Logic Corporation. The EPA has reviewed data and determined that the new tolerances are safe for consumption by the general population, including infants and children, with no expected harmful effects. Additionally, the tolerances for some other commodities related to streptomycin have been updated or removed, reflecting changes due to expired protections or data updates.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has set rules on how much of a special bug-fighting substance, called streptomycin, can safely be on oranges and their dried peels. This helps make sure that when people eat these fruits, they're safe and won't harm them.
