SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft document entitled ‘‘Guidance for
Industry: Requalification Method for
Reentry of Blood Donors Deferred
Because of Reactive Test Results for
Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen
(Anti-HBc)’’ dated May 2008. FDA is
providing recommendations to
establishments that collect human blood
or blood components for a
requalification method or process for
the reentry of deferred donors into the
donor pool based on a determination
that previous tests that were repeatedly
reactive for anti-HBc were falsely
positive and that there is no evidence of
infection with HBV. Due to the
availability of this licensed HBV nucleic
acid test and the improved specificity of
anti-HBc assays, we are recommending
a reentry algorithm for donors deferred
due to a falsely positive repeatedly
reactive test for anti-HBc in this
guidance. Until now FDA has not
recommended a requalification method
or process for reentry of donors deferred
due to reactive test results for hepatitis
B core antigen (anti-HBc) due to the lack
of licensed tests that could be
recommended for use in a suitable
algorithm for this purpose.
The draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent FDA’s current thinking on this
topic. It does not create or confer any
rights for or on any person and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if
such approach satisfies the requirement
of the applicable statutes and
regulations.

The petition proposes to amend the food
additive regulations in part 172, Food
Additives Permitted for Direct Addition

CFR part 172) to provide for the safe use
of cassia gum as a stabilizer in frozen
dairy desserts, and to improve texture
and water retention in cheeses, meat
products, and poultry products.
