This food safety webinar will explain how to thoroughly review a food contact substance, determine its regulatory status and obtain a new regulation from FDA via the FCN process for a substance that does not meet suitable regulatory status.
This webinar on the regulation of common materials used in food packaging will feature relevant elements of 21 CFR as well as USFDA Guidance documents pertaining to Food Contact Substances (FCS). Determining the regulatory status of polymers and paper used in food contact is a stepwise process taking advantage of principles of chemistry, toxicology, engineering and risk assessment. This session will highlight the FCN process and show how to obtain a new regulation from FDA if a substance that does not have suitable regulatory status.
The following titles will benefit:
