Food Additives: Food Contact Substance Notification System

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations regarding the premarket notification process for food contact substances (FCSs) established by the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) of 1997. The notification process is the primary method for authorizing new uses of food additives that are FCSs. FDA is codifying regulations that identify the circumstances under which a food additive petition (FAP) will be required to authorize the use of an FCS; specify the information required in a notification for an FCS; describe the administration of the notification process; and establish the procedure by which the agency may deem a notification to be no longer effective.
