Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is affirming that menhaden oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a direct human food ingredient with specific limitations. The agency is also affirming that partially hydrogenated menhaden oil with an iodine number between 86 and 119 is GRAS as a direct human food ingredient with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice. These actions complete the agency's response to a petition filed by the National Fish Meal and Oil Association.
