What is the maximum legal pesticide residue allowed on this food in the United States? EPA sets tolerances in 40 CFR Part 180, one section per active ingredient, each listing ppm limits by crop or crop group. There are ~500 sections and no single cross-reference table exists. This asset assembles them: one record per active ingredient × commodity, with the ppm tolerance, the CFR section, and the crop group. Answers 'glyphosate tolerance on soybeans', 'what is the MRL for chlorpyrifos on apples', 'EPA pesticide tolerance list by crop'. Food importers check tolerances against shipment lab results; farmers compare tolerances when choosing pesticide products.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
