The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance document entitled ``Food Additive Petition Expedited Review--Guidance for Industry and Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Staff.'' FDA believes it is in the interest of enhanced food safety to review petitions for certain food additives in an expedited manner.
