Testing Requirements for Soil Amendments
FDA is proposing to use the phrase "untreated biological soil amendments of animal origin" as a category that includes raw manure (see proposed §§ 112.3(c) and 112.51(a)). FDA use the term "treated biological soil amendments of animal origin" to include treatments that meet the requirements of the standards presented in subpart F of the proposed rule.
To further alleviate confusion, FDA uses the term "compost" as a verb, to mean the act of composting, and do not use it as a noun to describe a soil amendment that was treated by a composting method. Instead, the term “humus” is used in its common agricultural meaning.
