Evidence sufficient to demonstrate that
EPA exemptions for the requirement of a tolerance for residues of "glutamic acid" and "GABA" in or on all food commodities, and the unconditional registration of AuxiGro WP are unwarranted

Table 1. Truly natural glutamic acid (glutamic acid found in the unadulterated, unfermented, unprocessed protein of higher organisms, which is L-glutamic acid, only) contrasted with the contaminants produced along with L-glutamic acid during natural fermentation, food preparation, and processing.
