US FDA Proposes Fee Increases for Certification Services on Color Additives

Overview:

On January 2023, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a proposed rule to amend color additive regulations to increase fees for certification services.

The proposed rule will implement a 10% per pound increase in color certification fees. This increase in fees is necessary to cover operating costs to ensure that the color certification program continues to operate at the high level of quality and efficiency that the industry expects.

Introduction:

The FDA has issued regulations for issuing Color Additive Certifications when used in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices must analyze samples of each batch of color additive received from a manufacturer and verify that it meets the specifications for composition and purity. Certification is performed before color additives are allowed to be used in products marketed to US consumers. Manufacturers pay fees, based on the weight of each batch, and these fees support the FDA’s color certification program.
