BRIEFING

Fast Green. FCC 15. Based on comments and information received, the following revisions are proposed to align Fast Green with the JECFA monograph for Fast Green FCF prepared at the 84th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA Monograph 20; 2017):

  1. Add footnote 2: "Portions of this monograph are reproduced with permission from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations JECFA Monograph 20 (2017)."

  2. Add synonyms and chemical names within the chemical information section.

  3. Revise the Description.

  4. In the Assay, remove the requirement for Method II from the test for Total Color.

  5. Update the test method and Acceptance criteria in the test for Lead.

  6. Add a test for Manganese to Inorganic Impurities.

  7. Replace the Uncombined Intermediates and Products of Side Reactions test with the Organic Compounds Other Than Coloring Matters test in Organic Impurities.

  8. Replace the existing test for Subsidiary Colors in Specific Tests with a new Subsidiary Coloring Matters test in Organic Impurities.

  9. Add the test for Unsulfonated Primary Aromatic Amines to Organic Impurities.

  10. Update the Acceptance criteria for Ether Extracts.

  11. A test for Mercury has been added to Inorganic Impurities in alignment with 21 CFR 74.1203.

 Additionally, minor editorial changes have been made to update the monograph to current USP style.

 This proposal is targeted for publication in the Second Supplement to FCC 15.
