{"data":{"id":"us/40-cfr-180.950","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"40 CFR 180.950","heading":"Tolerance exemptions for minimal risk active and inert ingredients.","body":"Unless specifically excluded, residues resulting from the use of the following substances as either an inert or an active ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation, including antimicrobial pesticide chemicals, are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance under FFDCA section 408, if such use is in accordance with good agricultural or manufacturing practices.\n(a) Commonly consumed food commodities. Commonly consumed food commodities means foods that are commonly consumed for their nutrient properties. The term commonly consumed food commodities shall only apply to food commodities (whether a raw agricultural commodity or a processed commodity) in the form the commodity is sold or distributed to the public for consumption.\n(1) Included within the term commonly consumed food commodities are:\n(i) Sugars such as sucrose, lactose, dextrose and fructose, and invert sugar and syrup.\n(ii) Spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and red pepper.\n(iii) Herbs such as basil, anise, or fenugreek.\n(2) Excluded from the term commonly consumed food commodities are:\n(i) Any food commodity that is adulterated under 21 U.S.C. 342.\n(ii) Both the raw and processed forms of peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soybeans, eggs, fish, crustacea, and wheat.\n(iii) Alcoholic beverages.\n(iv) Dietary supplements.\n(b) Animal feed items. Animal feed items means meat meal and all items derived from field crops that are fed to livestock excluding both the raw and processed forms of peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soybeans, eggs, fish, crustacea, and wheat. Meat meal is an animal feed composed of dried animal fat and protein that has been sterilized. Other than meat meal, the term animal feed item does not extend to any item designed to be fed to animals that contains, to any extent, components of animals. Included within the term animal feed items are:\n(1) The hulls and shells of the commodities specified in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section, and cocoa bean.\n(2) Bird feed such as canary seed.\n(3) Any feed component of a medicated feed meeting the definition of an animal feed item.\n(c) Edible fats and oils. Edible fats and oils means all edible (food or feed) fats and oils, derived from either plants or animals, whether or not commonly consumed, including products derived from hydrogenating (food or feed) oils, or liquefying (food or feed) fats.\n(1) Included within the term edible fats and oils are oils (such as soybean oil) that are derived from the commodities specified in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section when such oils are highly refined via a solvent extraction procedure.\n(2) Excluded from the term edible fats and oils are plant oils used in the pesticide chemical formulation specifically to impart their characteristic fragrance and/or flavoring.\n(d) [Reserved]\n(e) Specific chemical substances. Residues resulting from the use of the following substances as either an inert or an active ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation, including antimicrobial pesticide chemicals, are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance under FFDCA section 408, if such use is in accordance with good agricultural or manufacturing practices.\nChemical CAS No.\nAcetic acid, sodium salt 127-09-3\nAlpha-cyclodextrin 10016-20-3\nAmylopectin, acid-hydrolyzed, 1-octenylbutanedioate 113894-85-2\nAmylopectin, hydrogen 1-octadecenylbutanedioate 125109-81-1\nAnimal glue None\nAscorbic acid (vitamin C) 50-81-7\nBeeswax 8012-89-3\nBenzoic acid, sodium salt 532-32-1\nBeta-cyclodextrin 7585-39-9\nCarbonic acid, monopotassium salt 298-14-6\nCarbonic acid, monosodium salt (sodium bicarbonate) 144-55-8\nCarnauba wax 8015-86-9\nCarob gum (locust bean gum) 9000-40-2\nCastor oil 8001-79-4\nCastor oil, hydrogenated 8001-78-3\nCellulose 9004-34-6\nCellulose acetate 9004-35-7\nCellulose, carboxy methyl ether, sodium salt 9004-32-4\nCellulose, 2-hydroxyethyl ether 9004-62-0\nCellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl ether 9004-64-2\nCellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl methyl ether 9004-65-3\nCellulose, methyl ether 9004-67-5\nCellulose, mixture with cellulose carboxymethyl ether, sodium salt 51395-75-6\nCellulose, pulp 65996-61-4\nCellulose, regenerated 68442-85-3\nCitric acid 77-92-9\nCitric acid, 2-(acetyloxy)-, tributyl ester 77-90-7\nCitric acid, calcium salt 7693-13-2\nCitric acid, calcium salt (2:3) 813-94-5\nCitric acid, dipotassium salt 3609-96-9\nCitric acid, disodium salt 144-33-2\nCitric acid, monohydrate 5949-29-1\nCitric acid, monopotassium salt 866-83-1\nCitric acid, monosodium salt 18996-35-5\nCitric acid, potassium salt 7778-49-6\nCitric acid, triethyl ester 77-93-0\nCitric acid, tripotassium salt 866-84-2\nCitric acid, tripotassium salt, monohydrate 6100-05-6\nCitric acid, sodium salt 994-36-5\nCitric acid, trisodium salt 68-04-2\nCitric acid, trisodium salt, dihydrate 6132-04-3\nCitric acid, trisodium salt, pentahydrate 6858-44-2\nCoffee grounds 68916-18-7\nDextrins 9004-53-9\n1,3-Dioxolan-2-one, 4-methyl-(propylene carbonate) 108-32-7\nFumaric acid 110-17-8\nGamma-cyclodextrin 17465-86-0\nGellan gum 71010-52-1\nD-Glucitol (sorbitol) 50-70-4\nGlycerol (glycerin) (1,2,3-propanetriol) 56-81-5\nGuar gum 9000-30-0\nHumic acid 1413-93-6\nHumic acid, potassium salt 68514-28-3\nHumic acid, sodium salt 68131-04-4\nLactic acid, n-butyl ester 138-22-7\nLactic acid, n-butyl ester, (S) 34451-19-9\nLactic acid, ethyl ester 97-64-3\nLactic acid, ethyl ester,(S) 687-47-8\nLanolin 8006-54-0\nLecithins 8002-43-5\nLecithins, soya 8030-76-0\nLicorice Extract 68916-91-6\nMaltodextrin 9050-36-6\nPaper None\nPotassium chloride 7447-40-7\n2-Propanol (isopropyl alcohol) 67-63-0\nRed cabbage color, expressed from edible red cabbage heads via a pressing process using only acidified water None\nSilica, amorphous, fumed (crystalline free) 112945-52-5\nSilica, amorphous, precipitated and gel 7699-41-4\nSilica gel 63231-67-4\nSilica gel, precipitated, crystalline-free 112926-00-8\nSilica, hydrate 10279-57-9\nSilica, vitreous 60676-86-0\nSoap (The water soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids produced by either the saponification of fats and oils, or the neutralization of fatty acid) None\nSorbic acid, potassium salt 24634-61-5\nSoapbark (Quillaja saponin) 1393-03-9\nSodium alginate 9005-38-3\nSodium chloride 7647-14-5\nSyrups, hydrolyzed starch, hydrogenated 68425-17-2\nUltramarine blue (C.I.
