Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide and related oxychloro species, generated by acidification of an aqueous solution of sodium chlorite with a solution of sodium gluconate, citric acid, phosphoric acid, and sodium mono- and didodecylphenoxybenzenedisulfonate, as a sanitizing solution to be used on food-processing equipment and utensils, including dairy-processing equipment. This action responds to a petition filed by Rio Linda Chemical Co.
