SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 721(d)(1) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379e(d)(1)), we are giving notice
that we have filed a color additive petition (CAP 2C0322), submitted by
Motif FoodWorks, Inc., 27 Drydock Ave., 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02210.
The petition proposes to amend the color additive regulations in part
73 (21 CFR part 73), ``Listing of Color Additives Exempt from
Certification,'' to provide for the safe use of myoglobin as a color
additive in meat and poultry analogue products.
The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically
excluded under 21 CFR 25.32(r) because the substance occurs naturally
in the environment, and the action does not alter significantly the
concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or
degradation products in the environment. In addition, the petitioner
has stated that, to their knowledge, no extraordinary circumstances
exist that would warrant at least an environmental assessment (see 21
CFR 25.21). If FDA determines a categorical exclusion applies, neither
an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is
required. If FDA determines a categorical exclusion does not apply, we
will request an environmental assessment and make it available for
public inspection.
Dated: February 7, 2022.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
