ABSTRACT

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is extending the comment period for a request for information on industry practices related to poppy seeds, such as information about growing, harvesting, processing, and distribution of poppy seeds, including industry practices to reduce the opiate alkaloid content of poppy seeds. We are taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments. We intend to use the information to help determine what type(s) of actions, if any, we should take to help ensure that poppy seed products do not pose a health risk when consumed.
