Methyl parathion tolerance

Residues in many foods should decrease because EPA has canceled many of the food crop uses of methyl parathion, including fruits and vegetables commonly eaten by children, some other vegetable uses, some feed uses, and all nonfood uses such as ornamental plants and nursery stock uses. Tolerances for methyl parathion on these foods and feed also have been canceled. This action was taken because of a concern for risks to children and workers. Some food and feed uses and tolerances are to be maintained.
