In addition, FDA has granted GRAS status to low erucic acid rapeseed oil for use as an edible fat or oil in human food. Canola oil is an edible substance that is readily metabolized by humans. There is adequate information available from literature sources to characterize the toxicity of canola oil. Moreover, the available literature indicates that the use of this substance as a component of food is safe. There are no incident reports on file for low erucic acid canola oil.
Canola oil has a non-toxic mode of action for the target pests.
NEU1161 is classified as toxicity category IV for acute inhalation and primary eye toxicity. It should be noted, however, that the NEU1160 and NEU1161 RTU products contain either no or substantially less pyrethrin, respectively, and are thus likely to have a lower acute toxicity than the NEU1161 product. Although the Agency does not have toxicity test results for nontarget insects, fish, and other wildlife directly exposed to canola oil, numerous metabolic studies on the dietary effects and metabolism of canola in birds, mammals, and fish are reported in the literature. There are no major data gaps. Unconditional Registration 7.
