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.
