Inventory of Effective
Food Contact Substance (FCS) Notifications

Under section 409(h)(2)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 348 (h)(2)(C)) a notification is only effective for the manufacturer or supplier identified in the notification. Persons who market a food contact substance based on an effective notification must be able to demonstrate that the notification is effective for their food contact substance. All persons who purchase a food contact substance manufactured or supplied by a manufacturer or supplier identified in an effective notification may rely on that notification to legally market or use the food contact substance for the use that is the subject of the notification, consistent with any limitations in that notification. This table will be updated approximately monthly.
