TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 189_SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED FROM USE IN HUMAN FOOD--Table of Contents
Subpart A_General Provisions
Sec. 189.1 Substances prohibited from use in human food.
(a) The food ingredients listed in this section have been prohibited
from use in human food by the Food and Drug Administration because of a
determination that they present a potential risk to the public health or
have not been shown by adequate scientific data to be safe for use in
human food. Use of any of these substances in violation of this section
causes the food involved to be adulterated in violation of the act.
(b) This section includes only a partial list of substances
prohibited from use in human food, for easy reference purposes, and is
not a complete list of substances that may not lawfully be used in human
food. No substance may be used in human food unless it meets all
applicable requirements of the act.
(c) The Commissioner of Food and Drugs, either on his own initiative
or on behalf of any interested person who has submitted a petition, may
publish a proposal to establish, amend, or repeal a regulation under
this section on the basis of new scientific evaluation or information.
Any such petition shall include an adequate scientific basis to support
the petition, pursuant to part 10 of this chapter, and will be published
for comment if it contains reasonable grounds.
