Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Human Food and Cosmetics; Final rule; adoption of interim final rule as final with amendments

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule prohibiting the use of certain cattle material to address the potential risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in human food, including dietary supplements, and cosmetics. FDA has designated the following items as prohibited cattle materials: Specified risk materials (SRMs), the small intestine from all cattle (unless the distal ileum has been removed), material from nonambulatory disabled cattle, material from cattle not inspected and passed, or mechanically separated (MS) (Beef). It is taking this action to minimize human exposure to certain cattle material that could potentially contain the BSE agent.
