SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of November 10, 2022
(87 FR 67785), we amended the color additive regulations in Sec.

condiments and sauces, dips, dairy product alternatives (identified as
non-dairy yogurt alternatives, non-dairy frozen desserts, and non-dairy

consistent with good manufacturing practice.
We gave interested persons until December 12, 2022, to file
objections or requests for a hearing. We received no objections or
requests for a hearing on the final rule. Therefore, we find that the
effective date of the final rule that published in the Federal Register
