(c) Uses and restrictions. Riboflavin may be safely used for the
coloring of foods generally, in amounts consistent with good

for which standards of identity have been promulgated under section 401
of the act, unless the use of added color is authorized by such
standards.
(d) Labeling. The label of the color additive 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
