    (a) The food ingredients listed in this section have been prohibited 
from use in human food by the Food and Drug Administration because of a 
determination that they present a potential risk to the public health or 
have not been shown by adequate scientific data to be safe for use in 
human food. Use of any of these substances in violation of this section 
causes the food involved to be adulterated in violation of the act.
    (b) This section includes only a partial list of substances 
prohibited from use in human food, for easy reference purposes, and is 
not a complete list of substances that may not lawfully be used in human 
food. No substance may be used in human food unless it meets all 
applicable requirements of the act.
    (c) The Commissioner of Food and Drugs, either on his own initiative 
or on behalf of any interested person who has submitted a petition, may 
publish a proposal to establish, amend, or repeal a regulation under 
this section on the basis of new scientific evaluation or information. 
Any such petition shall include an adequate scientific basis to support 
the petition, pursuant to part 10 of this chapter, and will be published 
for comment if it contains reasonable grounds.
