EPA draft white paper regarding StarLink® corn dietary
exposure and risk; availability for comment; notice
Guidance for Industry on FDA Recommendations for Sampling and
Testing Yellow Corn and Dry-Milled Yellow Corn Shipments
Intended for Human Food Use for Cry9C Protein Residues; Comments
on Possible Withdrawal;
Notice
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: EPA is seeking comment on a draft White Paper that
reviews data on the level in the human food supply of Cry9C
protein from StarLink® corn grain. It concludes that the protein
has been sufficiently removed from the human food supply to
render the level of risk low enough that continued testing for
the protein in yellow corn at dry mills and masa production
facilities provides no added public health protection. The White
Paper therefore recommends that the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) withdraw its guidance recommending testing yellow corn
grain for Cry9C at dry mills and masa production facilities.
Concurrent with this notice, the FDA is publishing for comment a
notice in the Federal Register that FDA is considering
withdrawing its guidance.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 3, 2007.
