"In 1989, a contaminated batch forced the FDA to pull tryptophan off the US market, never to return." Strange how a single (foreign) contaminated batch caused the ban, eh?

The contamination occurred when it was made by genetically engineered bacteria. The FDA banned tryptophane, even though it had a 25 year safety record, and immediately gave approval to genetically engineered tomatoes at the same time. There's logic.
