meat slaughtering and packing plants, and canneries where food and food 
products are held, processed, and served.
    (1) Spray and dust concentrations shall be limited to a maximum of 1 
percent and 2 percent, respectively, of active ingredient by weight. The 
spray concentration limit of 1 percent shall include, but not be limited

Application is limited to floor surfaces only and to 20 percent of the
