Margarine; Standard of Identity To Permit Use of Any Form of Oil of Marine Species Affirmed as GRAS or Approved as a Food Additive for This Use

摘要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the U.S. standard of identity for margarine to permit the use of any form of oil of marine species that has been affirmed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or approved as a food additive for this use. This action is in response to a petition submitted by the National Fish Meal and Oil Association (NFMOA). FDA believes that this action will provide increased flexibility to manufacturers in the selection of lipid ingredients in margarine and will promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers.
