CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 174--INDIRECT FOOD ADDITIVES: GENERAL--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 174.6  Threshold of regulation for substances used in food-contact articles.

    Substances used in food-contact articles (e.g., food-packaging or 
food-processing equipment) that migrate, or that may be expected to 
migrate, into food at negligible levels may be reviewed under 
Sec. 170.39 of this chapter. The Food and Drug Administration will 
exempt substances whose uses it determines meet the criteria in 
Sec. 170.39 of this chapter from regulation as food additives and, 
therefore, a food additive petition will not be required for the 
exempted use.
