Department of Agriculture (USDA) for reaching a settlement agreement in its multiple cases against Santa Cruz Biotechnology resulting in the cancellation of the facility’s research registration, revocation of its dealer license and payment of a historic $3.5 million civil penalty.
The settlement requires SCBT to pay the fine and cancel its research registration by May 31, 2016. The facility’s dealer license will also be revoked by December 31, 2016. Although the December deadline allows the company to continue selling antibodies through the remainder of the year, it can only sell such products derived from live animals on or before August 21, 2015. After that, the company is permanently banned in the U.S. from selling antibodies derived from species covered under the Animal Welfare Act. Additionally, the USDA’s hearing against SCBT—which had been postponed to August 2016 from April 2016—has been cancelled.
