EPA Frees Choline Chloride from Pesticide Residue Rules
Published Date: 4/7/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA says choline chloride, used in some pesticide products on animals, is safe enough that it doesn’t need a residue limit. This means companies like Emery Olochemicals can keep using it without extra testing or fees. If you’re in farming or animal care, this change makes things simpler and quicker starting now!

Choline Chloride Tolerance Exemption
The EPA exempted choline chloride (CASRN 67-48-1) from the requirement of a tolerance when it is used as an inert ingredient (adjuvant) applied to or on animals. This rule eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible residue level for choline chloride when it is used in accordance with the terms of the exemption. The exemption was issued in response to a petition from Stratacor, Inc. on behalf of Emery Olochemicals LLC.
