Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending the food additive regulations to no longer provide for the use of 25 plasticizers in various food contact applications because these uses have been abandoned. We are taking this action in response to a food additive petition submitted by the Flexible Vinyl Alliance (FVA or petitioner).
