In the case of some colorants, specific FDA certification is required. Most of the time, colorant certification is not necessary because the colorant manufacturer has already certified the colorant for sale in the United States.
Identity and specification
All colorants on sale in America must comply with the rules regarding identity and specification as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Usage and restrictions
Colorants shall only be used only in the cases and ways permitted by the relative applicable laws.
