United StatesThe U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has preliminarily determined it will extend deregulation to a line of genetically engineered (GE) potato (event: SPS-00V11-6) developed by J.R. Simplot Company for low acrylamide potential, reduced black spot bruising, and lowered reducing sugars. APHIS previously reviewed and deregulated these GE traits in another GE potato developed by J.R. Simplot Company, referred to as Innate™ Potato.
The agency has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), as well as a plant pest risk similarity assessment (PPRSA).
