食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)美國聯(lián)邦公報消息，8月19日美國環(huán)保署發(fā)布終期條例，在一定條件下豁免甲基磺酸的最大殘留限量。

    根據(jù)新條例，當甲基磺酸（methane sulfonic acid）作為酸化劑用于動物時，最大殘留限量為3.0%（以重量計），作為抗菌農(nóng)藥配方的惰性成分用于公共飲食場所、乳品加工設(shè)備以及食品加工設(shè)備和器具，且用量不超過5000ppm時，豁免其殘留限量。

    本條例自發(fā)布之日起生效，征求意見的截止日期為10月19日。

    部分原文報道如下：

    This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of methane sulfonic acid （CAS Reg. No.75-75-2） when used as an inert ingredient （acidifying agent） in pesticide formulations applied to animals at a maximum concentration not to exceed 3% by weight and when used as an inert ingredient in antimicrobial pesticide formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils at a concentration not to exceed 5,000 parts per million （ppm）。 Lewis & Harrison, on behalf of BASF Corporation, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act （FFDCA）， requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of methane sulfonic acid.
