Executive Summary
FDA PROPOSED BAN ON IN SITU COLOR ADDITIVE LAKES OPPOSED BY CTFA in comments recently filed with the agency. "In situ color additive lakes provide shades of colors that cannot be produced through any other acceptable manufacturing process," the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association states. Their elimination "would require reformulation and label changes" for "thousands of product lines," as well as an "enormous level of industry manpower...to investigate alternative color additives and perform the necessary shade work," the trade association maintains.
