Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals; Selenium; Stay of the 1987 Amendments; Reassessment

Resumo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the continued validity of the stay of the 1987 amendments to the selenium food additive regulations. The amendments provided for an increase in the maximum supplementation level of selenium in animal feeds. On September 13, 1993 (58 FR 47962), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stayed the 1987 amendments to the selenium food additive regulations. In that document the agency stated that it intended to reassess the decision to stay the amendment of the regulation, based on the progress of the needed research on selenium, by September 13, 1994, and as needed thereafter. The agency has determined that sufficient progress has been made and is issuing this document to confirm the continued validity of the stay.
