Subpart B Specific Prior-Sanctioned Food Ingredients
Sec. 181.22 Certain substances employed in the manufacture of
food-packaging materials.
Prior to the enactment of the food additives amendment to the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, sanctions were granted for the
usage of the substances listed in Sec. Sec. 181.23, 181.24, 181.25,
181.26, 181.27, 181.28, 181.29, and 181.30 in the manufacture of
packaging materials. So used, these substances are not considered ``food
additives'' within the meaning of section 201(s) of the Act, provided
that they are of good commercial grade, are suitable for association
with food, and are used in accordance with good manufacturing practice.
For the purpose of this subpart, good manufacturing practice for food-
packaging materials includes the restriction that the quantity of any of
these substances which becomes a component of food as a result of use in
food-packaging materials shall not be intended to accomplish any
physical or technical effect in the food itself, shall be reduced to the
least amount reasonably possible, and shall not exceed any limit
specified in this subpart.
