What the agency says
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing that we have filed a petition, submitted by the International Association of Color Manufacturers, proposing that we amend our color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of acetone as a solvent in the manufacture of carrot oil. The petition also proposes to add heavy metal limits and secondary names for carrot oil. FDA may also consider other changes to the regulation, as appropriate, during the course of our review.
