cottonseed is delinted and decorticated; the meats are screened,

defatted cooked cottonseed flour may contain only diluents that are
suitable and that are listed in this subpart as safe in color additive
mixtures for coloring foods.
(b) Specifications. Toasted partially defatted cooked cottonseed
flour shall conform to the following specifications:

exceed a maximum natural background level of 0.2 part per million total
arsenic, calculated as As.
Lead (as Pb), not more than 10 parts per million.
Free gossypol content, not more than 450 parts per million.

(d) Labeling. The label of the color additive and any mixtures
prepared therefrom and intended solely or in part for coloring purposes
shall conform to the requirements of Sec. 70.25 of this chapter.
(e) Exemption from certification. Certification of this color
additive is not necessary for the protection of the public health and
