Title: Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Medical Products Intended for Use in Humans and Drugs Intended for Use in Ruminants
Abstract: The regulation would prohibit the use of certain cattle material in the manufacture of medical products for humans and drugs for ruminants, and would require recordkeeping for products containing or manufactured with cattle materials to enable monitoring and enforcement of the prohibitions. The rule would prohibit the same cattle material that is prohibited in the previous FDA IFR that applies to foods and cosmetics. These include certain high risk tissues (e.g., brain, skull, eyes, spinal cord, trigeminal ganglia, parts of the vertebral column, and dorsal root ganglia) from cattle 30 months and older, tonsils and the distal ileum of cattle of any age, mechanically separated beef, material from nonambulatory disabled cattle, and material from cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption. The prohibitions would apply only to materials derived from animals slaughtered after the effective dates of the rules. The prohibitions would not apply to tallow that met a specified purity standard. The rule would provide criteria for deviations from the requirements based on a showing of safety or appropriate benefit to risk ratio.
