BRIEFING
Krill Oil. This proposal is based on the version of the monograph official as of May 1, 2025. On the basis of comments received, it is proposed to revise the Acceptance criteria in Table 1 of Identification A so that the upper limits for the ratio of the area percentage of palmitic acid and myristic acid and the area percentage of eicosapentaenoic acid are changed to 3.9 and 32.0, respectively.
Additionally, minor editorial changes have been made to update the monograph to current USP style.
