FDA Amends Regulations to Allow Safe Use of Chemicals in Food Packaging

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is updating its regulations to allow the safe use of certain chemicals as stabilizers in food packaging, in response to a petition from Morton International, Inc. The FDA is amending its rules to permit the use of monomethyltin/dimethyltin isooctylmercaptoacetates in rigid polyvinyl chloride and rigid vinyl chloride copolymers that come into contact with food.
