The exact definition varies by jurisdiction. Additional recommended knowledgeIn the EU, SRMs are carefully excluded from the human and animal food chain. Canada has passed a measure that will limit the uses of SRMs beginning July 2007. The US currently does not have any regulations regarding SRMs, but such regulation is under consideration by the FDA.
