following prescribed conditions.
(1) Application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack and
crevice treatment in food handling establishments where food and food
products are held, processed, prepared or served. Contamination of food
or food contact surfaces shall be avoided. Food must be removed or
covered during treatment.
(2) Spray concentration for spot treatment shall be limited to a
maximum of 0.5 percent of the active ingredient by weight. A course,

(4) For spot treatment, an individual spot shall not exceed 2 square
feet.
(5) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection

herbicide diquat (6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2',1'-c) pyrazidiinium)
derived from application of the dibromide salt in potable water
resulting from the application of the pesticide for control of aquatic
weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches,
canals, streams, and rivers which are slow-moving or quiescent in
programs of the Corps of Engineers or other Federal or State public
agencies. These agencies or contractors or licensees under their direct
control will make certain that the treated water will not be used for
animal consumption, swimming, spraying, domestic purposes, or for
irrigation for 14 days post-treatment or until approved analysis shows
that the water does not contain more than 0.01 ppm of diquat (calculated
as the cation) and that no treatment will be made where commercial
processing of fish resulting in the production of fish protein
concentrate or fish meal is practiced.
(b) A tolerance of 0.01 ppm is established for residues of the
herbicide diquat (6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2',1'-c) pyrazinediium)
(calculated as the cation) derived from application of the dibromide
salt in potable water resulting from the application of the pesticide in
ponds, lakes, and drainage ditches where there is little or no outflow
of water and which are totally under control of the user. The applicator
will make certain that treated water will not be used for animal
consumption, swimming, spraying, irrigation, or domestic purposes for 14

the insecticide during treatment of food-handling establishments.
(a) Direct application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack
and crevice treatment in food-handling establishments where food and
food products are held, processed, prepared, or served. Spray and dust
concentrations shall be limited to a maximum of 1 percent active
ingredient. For crack and crevice treatment, equipment capable of
delivering a dust or a pin-stream of spray directly into cracks and
crevices shall be used. For spot treatment, a coarse, low-pressure spray
shall be used to avoid contamination of food or food-contact surfaces.
(b) To ensure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and labeling.

Sec. 185.5200 Pyrethrins.
The food additive pyrethrins may be safely used in accordance with
the following prescribed conditions:
(a) It is used or intended for use in combination with piperonyl
butoxide for control of insects:
(1) In cereal grain mills and in storage areas for milled cereal
grain products, whereby the amount of pyrethrins is from 10 percent to
100 percent of the amount of piperonyl butoxide in the formulation.
(2) On the outer ply of multiwall paper bags of 50 pounds or more
capacity in amounts not exceeding 6 milligrams per square foot, whereby
the amount of pyrethrins is equal to 10 percent of the amount of
piperonyl butoxide in the formulation. Such treated bags are to be used
only for dried foods.
(3) On cotton bags of 50 pounds or more capacity in amounts not
exceeding 5.5 milligrams per square foot of cloth, whereby the amount of
pyrethrins is equal to 10 percent of the amount of piperonyl butoxide in
the formulation. Such treated bags are constructed with waxed paper
liners and are to be used only for dried foods that contain 4 percent
fat or less.
(4) In two-ply bags consisting of cellophane/polyolefin sheets bound
together by an adhesive layer when it is incorporated in the adhesive.
The treated sheets shall contain not more than 10 milligrams of
pyrethrins per square foot (107.6 milligrams per square meter). Such
treated bags are to be used only for packaging prunes, raisins, and
other dried fruits and are to have a maximum ratio of 0.31 milligram of
pyrethrins per ounce of fruit (0.01 milligram of pyrethrins per gram of
product).
(5) In food processing areas and food storage areas: Provided, That
the food is removed or covered prior to such use.
(b) It is used or intended for use in combination with piperonyl
butoxide and N-octylbicycloheptene dicarboximide for insect control in
accordance with Sec. 185.4500.
(c) A tolerance of one part per million is established for residues
of pyrethrins in or on:
(1) Milled fractions derived from cereal grains when present as a
result of its use in cereal grain mills and in storage areas for milled
cereal grain products.
(2) Dried foods when present as the result of migration from its use
on the outer ply of multiwall paper bags of 50 pounds or more capacity.
(3) Foods treated in accordance with Sec. 185.4500.
[[Page 538]]
(4) Dried foods that contain 4 percent fat, or less, when present as
a result of migration from its use on the cloth of cotton bags of 50
pounds or more capacity constructed with waxed paper liners.
(5) Foods treated in accordance with paragraphs (a)(4) and (a)(5) of
this section.
(d) To assure safe use of the additive, its label and labeling shall
conform to that registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and labeling.
(e) Where tolerances are established under sections 408 and 409 of
the Act on both raw agricultural commodities and processed foods made
therefrom, the total residues of pyrethrins in or on the processed food
shall not be greater than that permitted by the larger of the two
tolerances.
