Indirect Food Additives: Adhesives and Components of Coatings; Paper and Paperboard Components; Polymers; Adjuvants, Production Aids, and Sanitizers
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is responding to the objection that we received from the Environmental Defense Fund, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, Environmental Protection Network, Environmental Working Group, and Healthy Babies Bright Futures on the final rule that amended the food additive regulations to no longer provide for the use of 25 plasticizers that the petition identified as ortho-phthalates because these food additive uses have been permanently abandoned. After reviewing the objection, FDA has concluded that the objection does not provide a basis for modifying FDA's final rule amending the food additive regulations.
