EPA Exempts 1,3-Dibromo-5,5-Dimethylhydantoin from Tolerance Requirement

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in food when used in antimicrobial pesticide formulations applied to food contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, and/or food processing equipment and utensils. Albemarle Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in end-use products applied to food contact surfaces and used for washing raw agricultural commodities.
