SUMMARY
The food additive status of various UCC coatings resins is discussed in this report and lists of specific products suitable for food contact uses are given. The dynamic nature of our products prevents such lists from being all-inclusive for more than a few days so that for completely up-to-date information, this office should be consulted directly.
Also, since products acceptable for food packaging are not automatically suitable for packaging drugs and cosmetics, the requirements for drug and cosmetic packaging are reviewed briefly. Those products additionally cleared with the USDA for use in meat and poultry processing are also discussed.

DISCUSSION
I. Food Packaging Applications
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act administered by the FDA in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare provides for the safe use of chemicals in foods. So-called inci dental food additives are those which may result from inadvertent migration during the processing or packaging operations. Since these are specifically included in the 1958 Food Additives Amend ment, plastic materials used in food contact applications must comply with the provisions of the law.
There are four general categories of materials suitable for food contact uses. These include substances which (1) do not migrate to the food, (2) are generally recognized as safe, (3) were sanctioned by FDA for food contact use prior to the enactment of the amendment, or (4) are permitted by regulation under the amend ment.
The regulation most important for coatings materials is 21 CFR 175.300 for resinous and polymeric coatings, which lists hundreds of substances which may be used as components of coatings. The regulation also provides for extraction limitations on the finished food contact coating under intended end use conditions. An excerpt of 175.300 xs given in the Appendix. This regulation was one of the earliest regulations issued by the FDA and resulted from a petition filed by the Can Manufacturers Association. It has been amended three times as a result of petitions filed by UCC covering our VERR and QEX-2033 (an experimental latex) resins. All listings are by chemical identity rather than trade names.
Regulations 176.170 for components of paper in contact with aqueous and fatty foods and Regulation 177.1210 for closures refer to 175.300 for lists of acceptable materials so that resins cleared for coatings are also suitable for paper and closures. Both regulations include extraction limits on the finished article under intended use conditions. Regulation 176.180 for components of paper in contact with dry foods includes substances listed in 176.170 plus many additional materials, but does not include extraction specifica tions since migration to dry foods is conceded to be nil.
Regulation 21 CFR 175.105 for adhesives lists in excess of 1000 substances suitable for use in food packaging adhesives and contains no extraction limitations but prohibits direct contact with food except for trace amounts at seams and edge exposures.
Our customers for these coating resins who fabricate items intended for use in contact with foods are entitled to a written statement from us certifying that our products are suitable for use in contact with foods. All such letters originate from this office and will be sent in response to a written or telephone request. A sample copy is also given in the Appendix.

Although vinyl resins have recently been suspect because of the chronic toxicity associated with vinyl chloride monomer, their use as coatings materials has never been questioned by the Food and Drug Administration. In their proposal of 1973 which has never been either implemented or withdrawn, the FDA confirmed the safe use of vinyl resins as coatings, gaskets and cap liners, flexible tubing, and plasticized films and indicated the continued validity of regulations permitting these uses (see Section I). Union Carbide has continually been in touch with the FDA regarding continued use of our vinyl resins in coating applications and is presently preparing a report for submission to the FDA describing an extensive study which documents the low level of residual monomer in these resins, demonstrates that monomer levels are drastically reduced in the solution coating process, and concludes that use of these resins in food contact coatings would not reasonably be expected to result in monomer becoming a component of foods.
Ill. Drug Packaging
Products that comply with appropriate food additive regulations are not automatically qualified for packaging drugs and pharmaceuticals. There are no blanket clearances for drug packaging materials comparable to the food additive regulations. Bach drug package must be proven to be both safe and effective for the particular drug involved, usually through long-term storage and stability tests. These data are included as part of the New Drug Application which the drug manufacturer must file with the Food and Drug Administration before he can market his product.
XV. Cosmetic Packaging
Again, there are no blanket clearances for cosmetic packaging materials as there are for food packaging materials. Sec. 601 of the General Regulations states that a cosmetic shall be deemed to be adulterated if its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health. Under this regulation any packaging material that complies with the food additive reg ulations is also suitable for packaging cosmetics. In addition, many products which are not suitable for food contact uses may be perfectly safe for cosmetics. In this case it is necessary to consider the toxicity of the questionable component, together with its tendency to extract into the cosmetic and, in consultation with the UCC Law and Medical Departments, determine whether the product is suitable for use in the particular application. Ques tions regarding specific products should be directed to us.

V. Meat and Poultry Packaging
The Wholesome Meat Act and the Wholesome Poultry Act provide for Federal Inspection of meat and poultry packaging plants by the Food Safety and Quality Service (FSQS) of the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture (formerly known as the MID, MIB, and aphis). All raw materials used in such establishments must be "approved" individually by the FSQS. For packaging materials that comply with the FDA food additive requirements, USDA clearance is almost auto matic and we receive a letter from them indicating that the specific product is chemically acceptable provided that it is functionally effective. We provide a copy of this letter to our customer which ultimately is filed at the packing plant for scrutiny of the USDA Inspector. These clearances are obtained at the customer's request and normally, require four to six weeks. We have obtained letters of acceptability for the following active products:
