POLICY: FDA objects strongly to the phrase "Approved by FDA" in connection with the marketing or labeling of a product which has been processed through the Food Additives Regulations. There is, of course, no objection to a firm providing information that it has an approved food additive petition in response to an inquiry received from a customer or other interested party, nor is there any objection to it's issuing guarantees that shipments of the chemical are not in violation of the Food Additive provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. 25030003 transmittal no. 76-120 (09/23/76) issuing OFFICE: EDRO, Division of Field Operations authority: Associate Commissioner for Compliance PAGE 1 BFG60590
