Food Chemicals Codex ForumWhat is the Food Chemicals Codex Forum?The Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) Forum provides an opportunity for users to review and comment on proposed changes to the FCC. Changes and additions to the FCC generally are first proposed in the FCC Forum to invite public comment. The FCC Forum also includes information about submitting comments and providing input.
Future FCC Forum highlights will be available for all at http://www.usp.org/fcc/notices/. Interested parties can contact USP for additional information. How to submit commentsUSP encourages interested parties to submit comments and data regarding proposed or adopted standards. Submissions concerning a particular item that appears in FCC Forum should be submitted to the appropriate USP scientific staff liaison identified at the end of the proposal that accompanies each item. For general inquiries or in cases where a particular liaison is not identified, contact USP by telephone (301–881–0666) or fax (301–816–8373). Public review and comment period deadlinesUSP has implemented a 90–day comment period for the FCC Forum. The FCC Forum is available to the public for no charge at http://forum.foodchemicalscodex.org twice a year; on June 30th and December 31st. A 90-day comment period follows each posting. Interested parties can contact USP for additional information. After the comment period has closed, any comments received will be reviewed by staff, and then presented to the Food Ingredients Expert Committee of the USP Council of Experts for final consideration and balloting in accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the Council of Experts. The final standards approved by the Food Ingredient Expert Committee are published in the next FCC edition or Supplement. |
