TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES
PART 73_LISTING OF COLOR ADDITIVES EXEMPT FROM CERTIFICATION--Table of
Subpart A_Foods
Sec. 73.600 Turmeric.
(a) Identity. (1) The color additive turmeric is the ground rhizome
of Curcuma longa L. The definition of turmeric in this paragraph is for
the purpose of identity as a color additive only, and shall not be
construed as setting forth an official standard for turmeric under
section 401 of the act.
(2) Color additive mixtures made with turmeric may contain as
diluents only those substances listed in this subpart as safe and
suitable in color additive mixtures for coloring foods.
(b) Uses and restrictions. Turmeric may be safely used for the
coloring of foods generally, in amounts consistent with good
manufacturing practice, except that it may not be used to color foods
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.
(c) Labeling. The color additive and any mixtures intended solely or
in part for coloring purposes prepared therefrom shall bear, in addition
to the other information required by the act, labeling in accordance
with the provisions of Sec. 70.25 of this chapter.
(d) Exemption from certification. Certification of this color
additive is not necessary for the protection of the public health, and
therefore batches thereof are exempt from the certification requirements
of section 721(c) of the act.
