SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 721(d)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379e(d)(1))), we are giving notice
that we have filed a color additive petition (CAP 4C0328), submitted by
Exponent, Inc., on behalf of Sensient Colors, LLC., 1150 Connecticut
Ave. NW, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20036. The petition proposes to
amend the color additive regulations in Sec. 73.69 (21 CFR 73.69)
Listing of Color Additives Exempt from Certification: Butterfly pea
flower extract to expand the safe use of butterfly pea flower extract
to include ready-to-eat cereals, crackers and snack mixes, and chips at
levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.
The petitioner claims 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. In addition, the petitioner states that, to
their knowledge, no extraordinary circumstances exist. 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 5, 2024.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
