FOREWORD
This Food Additives Status List, formerly called Appendix A of the Investigations Operations Manual (IOM),
organizes additives found in many parts of 21 CFR (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/index.html) into one
alphabetized list. Additives included are those specified in the regulations promulgated under the FD&C Act,
under Sections 401 (Food Standards), and 409 (Food Additives). The Food Additives Status List includes
short notations on use limitations for each additive. For complete information on its use limitations, refer to the
specific regulation for each substance. New regulations and revisions are published in current issues of the
Federal Register (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collection.action?collectionCode=FR) as
promulgated. Also refer to the Food Ingredient and Packaging inventories
(/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/ucm112642.htm) in the Foods section of the FDA web site to
review several FDA databases of additive categories. For example, the EAFUS list
(http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/fcn/fcnNavigation.cfm?rpt=eafusListing&displayAll=true)
(Everything Added to Food in the United States), is a helpful reference within the limitations described at the
beginning of the database.
NOTE: Pesticide chemicals from 40 CFR 180 for which EPA has set tolerances in food that are enforced
by FDA have been removed from this list.
The Food Additive Status List omits certain categories of additives. Here are the omissions:
http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/FoodAdditivesIngredients/ucm091048.htm 1/77
8/1/2016 Food Additives & Ingredients > Food Additive Status List
1. Obviously safe substances not cited in a regulation as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). You may
find such substances in the GRAS Notice Inventory
(http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/fcn/fcnNavigation.cfm?rpt=grasListing&displayAll=true)
on the FDA web site. This site contains notices received from companies since 1998, and FDA's
response.
2. Synthetic flavoring substances in 21 CFR 172.515. The CFR does not contain a complete list of
permissible flavorings. Certain trade groups such as the Flavor Extract Manufacturers Association have
established expert panels to evaluate and make determinations on the GRAS status of their products. If
you need help in determining the acceptability of a flavoring after consulting 21 CFR 172.515, contact
CFSAN Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS200) at (240) 4021200.
3. Those pending administrative determination.
4. Substances granted prior sanction for specific use prior to enactment of the Food Additives Amendment.
For additional information on these substances, contact the CFSAN Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS
200) at (240) 4021200.
5. Indirect food additives, 21 CFR Parts 175, 176, 177, & Part 178 (except that sanitizing agents for food
processing equipment as listed in 178.1010 are included in the Food Additives list.) Be aware that as a
result of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 and Antimicrobial Regulation Technical Corrections Act
of 1998, EPA now has jurisdiction over sanitizing solutions applied to permanent or semipermanent food
contact surfaces, other than food packaging. To look up indirect food additives in Parts 175, 176, 177 and
178 go to FDA's Indirect Additives Used in Food Contact Substances
(http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/fcn/fcnNavigation.cfm?rpt=iaListing&displayAll=true).
Use it to locate the regulation in which its use is fully described. In 1997, FDA implemented a new Food
Contact Notification program for certain food contact substances. These notifications are effective only for
the manufacturer or supplier identified in the notification. A list of Effective Food Contact Substance
(FCS) Notifications (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/fcn/fcnNavigation.cfm?
rpt=fcsListing) is available on the FDA web site.
6. Color additives, 21 CFR Parts 70, 71, 73, 74, 80 & 82. Go to the Color Additives Status List
(/ForIndustry/ColorAdditives/ColorAdditiveInventories/ucm106626.htm).
Please send corrections or additions to the list to Harold Woodall, FDA/CFSAN Office of Food Additive Safety
