| | FDA/CFSAN: Note to the File for BNF No. 000047 |
 | | Calgene stated that the applications and uses of BXN with Bollgard cotton are the same as conventional cotton - to provide fiber for textile use, refined oil for human consumption, and cottonseed meal for animal feed. |
 | | The safety of the BXN gene-encoded nitrilase was the subject of a consultation (BNF0004) that was completed on April 5, 1995. |
 | | Calgene measured gossypol and CPFA levels in five BXN with Bollgard transformation events (31707, 31803, 31807, 31808, and 42317) and found them to be consistent with levels found in four traditionally bred varieties (Coker 130, STLVA887, STV474, DPL51) and with levels given for cotton in the literature. |
