The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that certain Food Contact Notifications (FCNs) are no longer effective because some manufacturers stopped using the listed substances for food contact in the U.S. The FDA is following a set process that allows them to determine when an FCN is no longer in use. They expect all remaining stocks of these substances, which were last produced or supplied before January 6, 2025, to be used up by June 30, 2025, as a measure to protect public health. The FDA updated its inventory of effective and no longer effective FCNs on their website.
Simple Explanation
The FDA found that some companies have stopped using certain materials for touching food, so these materials are no longer approved. They want all of the leftover materials used up safely by June 2025.
