SERVICES
PART 73_LISTING OF COLOR ADDITIVES EXEMPT FROM CERTIFICATION--Table of
Subpart A_Foods
Sec. 73.615 Turmeric oleoresin.
(a) Identity. (1) The color additive turmeric oleoresin is the
combination of flavor and color principles obtained from turmeric
(Curcuma longa L.) by extraction using any one or a combination of the
following solvents:
Acetone
Ethyl alcohol
Ethylene dichloride
Hexane
Isopropyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol
Methylene chloride
Trichloroethylene
The definition of turmeric oleoresin 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 oleoresin under
section 401 of the act.
(2) Color additive mixtures made with turmeric oleoresin may contain
as diluents only those substances listed in this subpart as safe and
suitable in color additive mixtures for coloring foods.
(b) Specifications. Turmeric oleoresin shall contain no more residue
of the solvents listed under paragraph (a)(1) of this section than is
permitted for the corresponding solvents in spice oleoresins under
applicable food additive regulation in parts 170 through 189 of this
chapter.
(c) Uses and restrictions. Turmeric oleoresin 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.
(d) 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.

(e) 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.
