Nippon Gohsei (U.S.A) Co., Ltd.; Filing of Food Additive
Petition; Amendment
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the filing
notice for a food additive petition filed by Nippon Gohsei (U.S.A.)
Co., Ltd., to indicate that the petitioned additive, a polyester resin
prepared from terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, succinic anhydride,
ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol as
a component of polymeric coatings, is also intended for use in contact
with aqueous foods. The previous filing notice stated that the additive
was intended for use only in contact with alcoholic foods.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vir D. Anand, Center for Food Safety
and Applied Nutrition (HFS-216), Food and Drug Administration, 200 C
St. SW., Washington, DC 20204, 202-254-9500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice published in the Federal
Register of November 4, 1988 (53 FR 44670), corrected on December 23,
1988 (53 FR 51950), FDA announced that a food additive petition (FAP
7B4017) had been filed by Nippon Gohsei (U.S.A.) Co., Ltd., 747 Third
Ave., New York, NY 10017, proposing that Sec. 175.300 Resinous and
polymeric coatings (21 CFR 175.300) be amended to provide for the safe
use of a polyester resin prepared from terephthalic acid, isophthalic
acid, succinic anhydride, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and 2,2-
dimethyl-1,3-propanediol as a component of polymeric coatings intended
to contact alcoholic foods.
Upon further review of the petition, the agency notes that the
petitioner had requested use of the additive in contact with aqueous
foods also. Therefore, FDA is amending the filing notice of November 4,
1988, to state that the petitioner requested that the food additive
regulations be amended to provide for the safe use of a resin prepared
from terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, succinic anhydride, ethylene
glycol, diethylene glycol, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol as a
component of polymeric coatings intended to contact aqueous and
alcoholic foods.
