TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 172 FOOD ADDITIVES PERMITTED FOR DIRECT ADDITION TO FOOD FOR HUMAN
Subpart H Other Specific Usage Additives
Sec. 172.730 Potassium bromate.
The food additive potassium bromate may be safely used in the
malting of barley under the following prescribed conditions:
(a)(1) It is used or intended for use in the malting of barley under
conditions whereby the amount of the additive present in the malt from
the treatment does not exceed 75 parts per million of bromate
(calculated as Br), and the treated malt is used only in the production
of fermented malt beverages or distilled spirits.
(2) The total residue of inorganic bromides in fermented malt
beverages, resulting from the use of the treated malt plus additional
residues of inorganic bromides that may be present from uses in
accordance with other regulations in this chapter promulgated under
sections 408 and/or 409 of the act, does not exceed 25 parts per million
of bromide (calculated as Br). No tolerance is established for bromide
in distilled spirits because there is evidence that inorganic bromides
do not pass over in the distillation process.
(b) To assure safe use of the additive, the label or labeling of the
food additive shall bear, in addition to the other information required
by the Act, the following:
(1) The name of the additive.
(2) Adequate directions for use.
(c) To assure safe use of the additive, the label or labeling of the
treated malt shall bear, in addition to other information required by
the Act, the statement, ``Brewer's Malt--To be used in the production of
fermented malt beverages only'', or ``Distiller's Malt--To be used in
the production of distilled spirits only'', whichever is the case.
