Colorants foods, drugs, and cosmetics

In the United States two classes of color additives are recognized colorants exempt from certification and colorants subject to certification. The former are obtained from vegetable, animal, or mineral sources or are synthetic forms of naturally occurring compounds. The latter group of synthetic dyes and pigments is covered by the Color Additives Amendment of the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In the United States these color compounds are not known by their common names but as FD C colors (Food, Drug and Cosmetic colors) with a color and a number (Noonan 1968). As an example,... [Pg.338]

The term FD C color, often seen on ingredients labels, refers to food, drug, and cosmetic colors. These are organic compounds (as opposed to inorganic pigments, such as titanium dioxide) that are so intense in color that it takes only very tiny amounts to color something, and thus they can be used in concentrations so minute that they are safe for consumption. [Pg.113]

Since national food legislation within the European Union varies and differences also exist with regard to United States, Asian, and South American legislation, coloring of foods, drugs, and cosmetics is indeed a most crucial issue for manufacturers." ... [Pg.93]

US legislation on food additives consists of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD C Act), the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, and other applicable laws including the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act. The FD C Act states that foods are adulterated if they contain color additives that have not been approved as safe to the satisfaction of the Food Drug Administration (FDA) for a particular use. ... [Pg.576]

Food legislation in the US was implemented in 1938 and since then has been improved dynamically. The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act classified specific colorants to be used in food and non-food products (FD C colorants). Each colorant has a color index (Cl) number and Cl name. Colorants are also identified by their Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry code numbers. The two groups are Certifiable Colorants and Exempt Colorants. [Pg.584]

Freedom from toxicity is clearly the primary consideration for dyes used in foods, drugs and cosmetics, followed by high solubility and chemical stability in the appropriate medium of incorporation. The possibility that they may affect consumers adversely has caused growing concern [59,60]. Legislation over many years has increasingly restricted the usage of synthetic colorants to certain permitted products that have shown no harmful effects when tested rigorously. [Pg.29]

Note Many cough medicine formulations exhibit the color they have because a food colorant has been added. Such colorants are standard Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD8jC) dyes, typically blue 1 red 3, 33, and 40 or yellow 5, 6, and 10. In this experiment, identification of such dyes is accomplished by TLC. [Pg.330]

Over the years that followed, an overwhelming majority of the primary dyes used in food came from certified lots. Both the number of batches and the total pounds certified grew steadily over the life of the Wiley Act. Thus the voluntary certification plan worked reasonably well. With the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, food color certification became mandatory. Although somewhat modified, in response to changed scientific standards, by the Color Additive Amendment of 1960, Hesse s procedures remain today the basis of American regulatory policy. [Pg.154]

The term food additive is used to cover any substance that is expected to become a component of human food. This covers substances intentionally added to food for their nutritional, chemical, or physical benefits (e.g., colorants and gelling agents) and substances used in the manufacture or packaging of foods (i.e., food contact substances, formerly known as indirect food additives ). The US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines food additives as substances whose intended use results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in its becoming a component of food or otherwise affecting the characteristics of food. ... [Pg.73]

Hair Coloring Regulation Issues. In the United States the classification of color additives is complex. Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, all cosmetic colors must be the subject of an approved color additive petition to the Food and Dmg Administration there is an exception for coal-tar colorants used to color hair. Based on the composition of these colorants, FDA can require a certification on each manufactured batch of colorant to assure conformance with the approved specifications. In the early 1990s FDA has required certification only for synthetically derived coal-tar type colors. Many of the approved color additives, both certified and noncertifled, are restricted in their potential use. These restrictions can be found in the color additive regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations at 21 CFR 73 and 74. [Pg.458]
