Main Street Akron IS, Ohio Dear Mr. McCormick: This will reply to your letter of February l, i960, in which you indicate a modification of a prior sanctioned resin. You now request the status of the modified resin. Under date of March 13, 1957, we indicated the acceptability for food packaging application of a resin consisting of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and acrylate in the approximate ratios of 33 to 8 to 1. This prior sanctioned resin has now been modified so as to consist of a copolymer of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, and acrylate in the approximate ratios of 33 to 8 to 1 to 1. it is our opinion that the modified resin is likewise a sub ject of a prior sanction and therefore, not a food additive within the meaning of the Food Additives Amendment. Sincerely yours. *m). Frederick A. Oassicy food and. Drug Officer 20540001 BFG03828 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON 25.
