Summary of the evaluation The Committee concluded that rbSTs can be used without any appreciable health risk to consumers. This conclusion was based on the following factors:
- the insignificant changes in the quantities of milk discarded due to the detection of residues during testing after the introduction of rbSTs into commercial use and pid=63155;
- the low levels of residues of rbSTs and IGF-I in milk and pid=63155;
- the degradation of IGF-I in the gut and its naturally high levels in the gastrointestinal secretions and pid=63155;
- the extremely low levels of IGF-I ingested from milk when compared to endogenous production and pid=63155;
- the lack of evidence that rbSTs stimulate the expression of retroviruses and pid=63155;
- the lack of information directly linking treatment with rbSTs and BSE and pid=63155; and
- the absence of significant changes in the composition of milk from cows treated with rbSTs that may contribute to the additional risk of development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
The Committee reaffirmed its previous ADI and MRLs "not specified" for somagrebove, sometribove, somavubove and somidobove.
