Bacillus thuringiensis eCry1Gb.1Ig Protein; Exemption From the Requirement of a Pesticide Tolerance

HealthEnvironment
← Back to Policy Watchlist

What happened

The regulation, signed by Donald Trump, establishes an exemption from requiring a tolerance for residues of Bacillus thuringiensis eCry1Gb.1Ig protein in field, sweet, and pop corn. Syngenta Seeds, LLC requested this exemption under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This rule is effective on August 7, 2026.

Why it matters

This action means a specific protein used as a plant-incorporated protectant in corn will not have a maximum permissible residue level set by the EPA. This could simplify regulatory compliance for producers using this particular corn type.
