Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA); Request for Information
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is requesting information on the current uses and safety data of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) in human food and as a food contact substance. We are requesting this information as part of our systematic process for conducting post-market assessments of chemicals in food. We are conducting a post-market assessment of the safety of BHA in food, considering the latest state of the science. We intend to use the information received and any other available, relevant information to determine if BHA remains safe under its current conditions of use in food and as a food contact substance.
