Dr. Susan Carlson Director, Division of Biotechnology and GRAS Notice Review Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-200) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Food and Drug Administration 5100 Paint Branch Parkway College Park, MD 20740-3835 Re: GRAS Notification for Roquette Freres Pea Protein Isolate Dear Dr. Carlson: We respectfully submit the attached GRAS Notification on behalf of our client, Roquette Freres (Roquette) for pea protein isolate to be used as a concentrated, highly digestible protein source in various food categories (excluding infant formula) and as a binder and extender in meat and poultry products. The pea protein isolate will be used as a substitute for, and/or in conjunction with, other proteins in conventional food products, as well as in meal replacement and dry blend protein powder applications. Thus, the pea protein isolate will not contribute any additional exposure to protein and it is not intended to be used to replace the entire daily protein intake or as the sole source of protein in the diet for consumers. More detailed information regarding product identification, intended use levels, and the manufacturing and safety of the ingredient is set forth in the attached GRAS Notification. Roquette has determined that their pea protein isolate is GRAS based on scientific procedures in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 170.30(b) and in conformance with the guidance issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under 21 C.F.R. § 170.36, 81 Fed. Reg. 54960 (Aug. 17, 2016). Therefore, the use of the pea protein isolate as described in this GRAS Notification is exempt from the requirement of premarket approval as set forth in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The analytical data, published studies, and information that are the basis for this GRAS Notification are available for FDA review and copying at reasonable times at Keller and _______W~as~h_in~g~to~"~· D~.C~.'----B_r=us'-'--se'-'-'--1s ----'-'Sa=n--'-F-'-'ra""nc-'-'-isc...cco~ - -~Sh= =an=g =ha"'-i- ---'P-"'a'--'-'ris'--------- Thls document was delivered electronically.
