submitted 36 years ago by Pub. L. 101-624 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 186 words · no verdicts yet
Anyone who tests food for pesticide residue must report certain findings to the Secretary of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and the food's owner. This covers residues with no legal tolerance, residues over the legal limit, or residues the EPA no longer allows. Reports must go out as soon as the testing is done.
Each laboratory* or individual that performs, brokers, or otherwise arranges for the performance of a pesticide* chemical analysis of food shall prepare and submit a report, simultaneously to the Secretary*, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and to the owner of such food, that shall contain any finding of pesticide chemical residues in such food—
for which no chemical residue tolerance or exemption has been established;
that is in excess of residue tolerances; or
for which the chemical residue tolerance has been revoked or the chemical residue is otherwise not permitted by the Environmental Protection Agency.
A laboratory shall submit the report required under subsection (a) to the Secretary, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the owner of such food as soon as practicable after the completion of the analysis of such food.
The Secretary shall adopt standardized reporting guidelines to be applied to laboratories under this section and shall provide such guidelines to laboratories accredited under this chapter, as well as other sources of information regarding applicable pesticide chemical tolerances.
