ban on food tainted with the suspected cancer causing pesticide EDB went to the highest court yesterday Justice Paul Liacos of State Supreme Court set a hearing for Monday morning for arguments on the issue before the full seven member Supreme Judicial Court Meanwhile Maine ordered grocers to remove 18 food items believed to be contaminated with EDB and New York State recalled 105000 pounds of possibly tainted rice from store shelves On Thursday Judge Hiller Zobel of Suffolk Superior Court lifted the 4 day old ban at the request of the grain industry saying that state law barred Massachusetts from imposing tougher standards than the US govern would urge in light of the interests at stake that we (the full court) try to come up with a decision Monday or Liacos told attorneys at a brief hearing EDB short for ethylene dibromide has been widely used as an agricultural pesticide since 1948 Last week the US Environmental Protection Agency banned fur ther farm use of the chemical and recommended limits for EDB content Massachusetts Assistant Attorney General Carl Valvo said that the key issues to be decided are the harm to public health versus the harm to the grain industry and whether the state has the authority to levy its ban the toughest in the nation balance of harm tips decid edly in favor of the public health" Valvo said Thayer remont Smith a Boston lawyer representing the grain American Grain Products Process ing Institute said he will defend as proper deci sion to lift the ban perceive any public health he said substance has been in the food for 35 years Any remaining risk to the public is so negligible as to be The contaminated food will stay off the shelves until the issue is resolved said Milton Segel president of the Massachusetts ood Association ban on the sale of products containing 10 parts per billion (ppb) or more of EDB was imposed on Monday and would affect 17 items It was to be followed by a March 7 ban of foods containing
