Interim Melamine and Melamine Analogues Safety/Risk Assessment; Availability

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a document entitled, "Interim Melamine and Melamine Analogues Safety/Risk Assessment." The interim safety/risk assessment describes the risk to human health associated with eating pork, chicken, fish, and eggs from animals that were inadvertently fed animal feed that contained melamine and its analogues (cyanuric acid, ammelide and ammeline). FDA is seeking public comment on the interim safety/risk assessment to assist the agency and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) at the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the ongoing investigation of contaminated vegetable protein products imported from China that were mislabeled as "wheat gluten" and "rice protein concentrate," and ensuring the safety of the U.S. food supply.
