3.8 Additional Notes 

General feed

After contacting sanitary authorities from SAG, they mentioned that Chile does not have regulations governing the use of GMO-derived material in animal feed. Therefore, it is not an item that is requested when evaluating animal feed products, so the documentation, value, and evaluation times are the same as for conventional (non-GMO) feed. Thus it is understood that the use of GMO material can be used in animal feed. [1]

Category

The category of “Additive” should comply with Section 3.8 on “General Feed” above.
