Description

The FDA Regulations for food contact are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Chapter 21 Parts 170 to 199.  This is a compendium of all the successful Food Additive petitions the FDA received from 1958 to 1999.  Each regulation deals with a separate topic or material type and the substances listed are cleared for use subject to any restrictions.  However, there are many possible pitfalls for the unwary particularly involving situations when substances are exempt from regulation and cross-referencing between regulations.  It is more complicated than it looks.

Why you should not miss this training?

The CFR Chapter 21 Parts 170 to 199 contain regulations that developed over a 40-year period.  As such the various regulations differ significantly in style and content which creates a degree of complexity.  However, the complexity is significantly increased by the things that are not explicitly stated, the exemptions that exist and how to make use of these to ensure that food contact materials are sold legally with minimal regulatory effort.  Anyone involved in the supply of food contact materials and substances who does not feel fully informed on how to show compliance for all the chemicals used would benefit from this training session.

Who should attend this training?

Ideal training for anyone responsible for showing that the food contact materials or substances produced by their company are compliant with the requirements of US law, in particular:

        - Scientists in testing laboratories
        - Regulatory affairs professionals
        - Quality managers and quality department employees
        - R& D chemists and technical directors
        - Other technical managers, executives and consultants who wish to understand the legal requirements that their company's products must comply with.
