Sec. 185.200   Aluminum phosphide.

    The food additive aluminum phosphide may be safely used in 
accordance with the following prescribed conditions:
    (a) It is used to generate phosphine in the fumigation of processed 
foods.
    (b) To assure safe use of the additive, it is used in compliance 
with label and labeling conforming to that registered with the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency. Labeling shall bear a warning to aerate 
the finished food for 48 hours before it is offered to the consumer. A 
further warning shall state that under no condition should the 
formulation containing aluminum phosphide be used so that it or its 
unreacted residues will come in contact with any processed food, except 
processed brewer's rice, malt, and corn grits stored in breweries for 
use in the manufacture of beer.

    (c) Residues of phosphine in or on processed foods do not exceed 
0.01 part per million.
