Product Definition
Describes the construct in
the animal, and proposed
claim as basis for hazard
identification.
Molecular Characterization:
GE Animal Lineage
Does the insertion of the rDNA
construct pose a hazard to the
animal, humans or the
environment?
Phenotypic Characterization
Direct and indirect risks posed to
the GE animal?
(e.g., can surveying the health and
other phenotypic characteristics of
the animal inform us with respect to
risk to the animal and potential
human food safety concerns?)
Food/Feed Safety
IF INTENDED
FOR
FOOD/FEED
Risk of direct or
indirect adverse
outcomes
associated with
the consumption
of the GE animal
as food or feed?
IF NOT
INTENDED FOR
FOOD/FEED
Evidence provided
to demonstrate
that investigational
or postcommercialized
GE animals will not
enter the food
supply?
Environmental Safety
Direct or indirect effects
from introduction of the GE
animal into the
environment?
Basis for satisfying NEPA
requirements.
Claim Validation
Does the GE animal
meet the claim
established in the
product definition?
Number of copies
Sequence in the animal (as compared to construct alone)

Claim Validation (Effectiveness)
Statutory requirement: Substantial evidence for the effect under the
prescribed conditions of use 21 U.S.C 360b(d)(1), where
Substantial evidence means
evidence consisting of one or more adequate and wellcontrolled investigations
In the target animal
Laboratory animals, field, bioequivalence, or in vitro studies
on the basis of which qualified experts could conclude that the
regulated article will have the intended effect under the
conditions of use in the labeling. 21 C.F.R. 514.4(a).
