Indirect Food Additives: Polymers
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of polyestercarbonate resins produced by the condensation of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, carbonyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, and isophthaloyl chloride. The finished resins are composed of 45 to 85 mole percent ester, of which up to 55 mole percent is the terephthaloyl isomer, as articles or components of articles in contact with food. This action responds to a petition filed by the General Electric Co.
