<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Nutritional Data</b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Samples of hay, forage, seed, hulls, and toasted and non-toasted defatted soy meal from transgenic soybean were subjected to proximate analyses (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, ash, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, carbohydrate). As well, seed samples were subjected to fatty acid analysis, amino acid analysis, and analyses of minerals (calcium, phosphorous, and potassium). The values for each of these parameters was found to be within the normal range reported by the USDA for soybean.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Toxicology</b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Samples of seed were analyzed for stachyose, raffinose, and phytic acid, and additionally for trypsin inhibitor and lectins in seed. The concentrations of phytoestrogens, such as daidzein, genistein, and glycitein, were determined for samples of seed, and toasted and non-toasted soy meal. The levels of these compounds were not statistically different between samples from non-transgenic and transgenic soybeans.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Allergenicity</b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The low potential for allergenicity of the PAT protein has previously been established through amino acid sequence comparisons with known protein allergens and digestability studies using simulated gastric and intestinal fluids.</p>
