| Title: Animal Food Labeling; Declaration of Certifiable Color Additives | |
| Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations regarding the declaration of certified color additives on the labels of animal food including animal feeds and pet foods. FDA is proposing this amendment in response to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (Pub.L. 101-535), which amended section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 343) by requiring, among other things, the listing on food labels of the common or usual names of all color additives required to be certified by FDA. An additional purpose of this amendment is to make these regulations consistent with the regulations regarding the declaration of certified color additives on the labels of human food. The proposed rule also suggests appropriate terminology for the declaration of certified-exempt color additives on the labels of animal food. | |
