Citizen Petition from Evan H. Couture

Evan H. Couture supports the citizen petition by arguing that the FDA's classification of home-pasteurized equine matrices as a biohazard is scientifically inconsistent with the safety of common commercial products like milk and soda. The commenter contends that these mammalian fluids are evolutionarily biocompatible and argues that the current regulatory framework unfairly favors industrial chemistry over natural biological products.

Evan H. Couture argues that the FDA should allow the sale of pasteurized equine urine as a low-potency fluid supplement, citing a regulatory contradiction where the agency permits concentrated equine urine in pill form (Premarin) but prohibits it in liquid form. The commenter contends that if pasteurization is sufficient for dairy milk, it should be sufficient for equine urine, and argues that the current ban constitutes viewpoint discrimination to protect corporate monopolies.
