Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of petroleum hydrocarbon resins (cyclopentadiene-type), hydrogenated, as an adjuvant in the manufacture of polypropylene homopolymer films and copolymer films of propylene and ethylene containing not less than 94 weight percent propylene for use in contact with fatty and alcoholic foods. This action responds to a petition filed by Exxon Chemical Co. The agency is also correcting a technical error in the current listing for petroleum hydrocarbon resins.
