FDA Eyes Banning Forgotten Solvents in Color Additives Petition
Published Date: 4/1/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The International Association of Color Manufacturers asked the FDA to update rules by removing three solvents—methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and ethylene dichloride—because no one uses them anymore in making color additives. This change affects companies that make or regulate color additives and could simplify safety rules. Comments on this proposal are open until June 1, 2026, so speak up if you have thoughts!
