## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of diallyl maleate and 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol as optional polymerization inhibitors and dimethyl (methyl hydrogen) polysiloxane as a cross-linking agent in the manufacture of vinyl-containing siloxanes that are used in coatings for paper and paperboard that contact food; to increase the maximum permitted residual level of platinum, which remains from the catalyst used in the manufacture of vinyl-containing siloxanes, to 200 parts per million (ppm) of these siloxanes; and to expand the safe use of coatings with vinyl-containing siloxanes for contact with additional food types and under additional conditions of use. This action is in response to a petition filed by GE Silicones.
