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, writing as "The Unknown Equinetarian," argues that the FDA's denial of the requested action is logically inconsistent and scientifically unfounded. He contends that if the Agency approves animal-derived products like Premarin, it must also permit the sale of pasteurized equine biologicals, and that any refusal constitutes viewpoint discrimination.
