Permanent Listing of Color Additive Lakes

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to list certain color additive lakes permanently as suitable and safe for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics. The agency is proposing to permit the use of more than one straight color in the preparation of a lake, to modify the nomenclature for lakes, and to simplify the batch certification procedure for lakes. As part of these actions, the agency is proposing to amend its regulations to require the preparation of lakes from certified batches of straight color; to provide simplified nomenclature for declaring color additives, including lakes, on cosmetic products; to require declaration of FD&C Yellow No. 5 and FD&C Yellow No. 6 on all foods and some drug products containing lakes of these straight colors; and to terminate the listing of certain straight colors as components of lakes for drug and cosmetic use and the listing of calcium salts as components of lakes for food use. This proposed rule is intended to complete the agency's disposition of the provisional list of color additives that was established under the transitional provisions of the Color Additive Amendments of 1960 (the 1960 amendments) and to establish regulations
