No residues of 3,5-dinitrobenzamide may be found in the uncooked edible tissues of chickens, as determined by a specific method of analysis. Please see the original text of 556.220 for a complete description of this analysis. Tolerances for total residues of combined arsenic (calculated as Arsenic) in food are established as follows: a. Chickens and turkeys (edible tissues): (1) 0.5 part per million in uncooked muscle tissue. (2) 2 parts per million in uncooked edible by-products. b. Chicken and turkey eggs: 0.5 part per million c. Swine (edible tissues): (1) 2 parts per million in uncooked liver and kidney. (2) 0.5 part per million in uncooked muscle tissue and by-products other than liver and kidney. A tolerance of zero is established for residues of sulfanitran (acetyl (p-nitro-phenyl) sulfanilamide) and its metabolites in the uncooked edible tissues of chickens. |
