I'm not entirely certain, but I believe removing tolerance limits means that there can not be any detectable contaminant in the food crop. It is a minor, but important difference. An all out ban means you can not use it at all. The removal of tolerance limits means that you can use it as long as they can not tell that you used it. So if the food crop in question does not take up the contaminant, then you can use it.

I don't have experience with food contamination, but that is how it generally works with soil contamination.

Thanks for the correction. I thought the FDA had banned it for food crops, but they apparently just removed tolerance limits.

Not entirely true. You can use it on spinach grown specifically to go to seed, and on things that will not have a residual build up (maize, potatoes, pumpkins, sunflowers).

No one wants to kill 'that' kind of weed. Except for the establishment.

Old men supposedly always yell at kids to get off their lawns, but only because they don't want them there. But this old men is yelling because he put poisonous stuff on the lawn. An expectation was violated. This is comical.
