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 3C0324), submitted by
Innophos, Inc., 259 Prospect Plains Road, Building A, Cranbury, New
Jersey 08512. 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 tricalcium
phosphate in (1) poultry (chicken thigh), (2) icing, (3) white
chocolate candy melts, (4) doughnut sugar, and (5) sugar for coated
candies.
The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically
excluded under 21 CFR 25.32(k) because the substance is intended to
remain in food through ingestion by consumers and is not intended to
replace macronutrients in food. 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 22, 2023.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
