Biomin GmbH; Filing of Food Additive Petition (Animal Use)
Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing that we have filed a food additive petition, submitted by Biomin GmbH, proposing that we amend our food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of zearalenone hydrolase to degrade zearalenone in swine food at no less than 10 U/kg complete feed (U = the five-fold enzymatic activity that hydrolyzes 1 [micro]mol zearalenone per minute in a solution of 5 mg/L zearalenone).
