Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate-grafted polypropylene copolymer containing methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate-grafted polypropylene, methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate copolymer, methyl methacrylate homopolymer, and polypropylene, resulting from the reaction of a mixture of methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate with polypropylene, as a component of food-contact materials. This action is in response to a food additive petition filed by Rohm and Haas Co.
