No. 68604-99-9), prepared by the reaction of dimethyl hydrogen phosphite with tall oil fatty acids | For use only at levels not to exceed 1.0 percent by weight of the pigment. The pigmented polymeric films may contact all food under conditions of use D, E, F, and G described in table 2 of 176.170(c) of this chapter. |
Propanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-, compd. with 1,1,1-nitrilotris [2-propanol] (1:1) (CAS Reg. No. 221281-21-6) | For use only at levels not to exceed 0.45 percent by weight of the pigment. The pigmented articles may contact all food under conditions of use A through H as described in Table 2 of 176.170(c) of this chapter. |
Siloxanes and silicones; cetylmethyl, dimethyl, methyl 11-methoxy-11-oxoundecyl (CAS Reg. No. 155419-59-3) | For use only at levels not to exceed 0.5 percent by weight of the pigment. The pigmented polymers may contact all foods under conditions of use C, D, E, F, and G described in Table 2 of 176.170(c) of this chapter. |
Trimethylolethane (CAS Reg. No. 77-85-0) | For use only at levels not to exceed 0.45 percent by weight of inorganic pigment. The pigmented articles may contact all food under conditions of use A through H described in Table 2 of 176.170(c) of this chapter. |
