Why?
Because you won't eat it? I doubt it will kill you and I bet you could survive eating it if you had to.
If its just because you won't eat it I kind of doubt you will eat unprocessed yellow corn either.
Would the distiller's grain pass an antibiotic test? I think that is the regulatory reason it isn't allowed because of the antibiotic to kill the fermenting bacteria (as last that I knew this was the process used)
Unprepared yellow corn could use some grinding and processing to make masa (or what the Mexican technique is called)
Doesn't take a lot of processing to make it edible.
But argument is then "is corn the most food producing crop that can be grown?". As a corn farmer, that is a hard question to be told what you're doing may not be the best thing to do.
Our end users mind set is subtlety swayed.
