Comments:

The Committee withdrew the group ADI for GEGR and GEWR and established a temporary group ADI for GEGR and GEWR of 0–12.5 mg/kg body weight, applying an additional safety factor of 2, because new information raises questions about the identity and composition of the product in commerce. Additional compositional information on the GEWR from Pinus elliottii to assess similarity with the GEWR from Pinus palustris is required. The Committee noted that the temporary group ADI will be withdrawn if the requested information is not submitted by the end of 2012.
