White paper should end StarLink corn episode.

White paper should end StarLink corn episode: A multi-agency draft White Paper says there is no longer a need to test yellow corn for a potentially harmful protein that at one time contaminated the human food supply because the protein is no longer present in human food in significant quantities.

The draft EPA White Paper 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 mass production facilities provides no added public health protection.

The White Paper therefore recommends that FDA withdraw its guidance recommending testing yellow corn grain for Cry9C at dry mills and other production facilities.
