Code of Federal Regulations Title 21. Food and Drugs § 21.181.30 Substances used in the manufacture of paper and paperboard products used in food packaging

Substances used in the manufacture of paper and paperboard products used in food packaging shall include:

Aliphatic polyoxyethylene ethers.  *

1–Alkyl (C₆–C₁₈)3–amino–3–aminopropane monoacetate.  *

Borax or boric acid for use in adhesives, sizes, and coatings.  *

Butadiene-styrene copolymer.

Chromium complex of perfluoro-octane sulfonyl glycine for use on paper and paperboard which is waxed.  *

Disodium cyanodithioimidocarbamate with ethylene diamine and potassium N-methyl dithiocarbamate and/or sodium 2–mercaptobenzothiazole (slimicides). *

Ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate copolymers of itaconic acid or methacrylic acid for use only on paper and paperboard which is waxed.  *

Hexamethylene tetramine as a setting agent for protein, including casein.  *

1–(2–Hydroxyethyl)–1–(4–chlorobutyl)–2–alkyl (C₆-C₁₇) imidazolinium chloride.  *

Itaconic acid (polymerized).

Melamine formaldehyde polymer.

Methyl acrylate (polymerized).

Methyl ethers of mono-, di-, and tripropylene glycol.  *

Myristo chromic chloride complex.

Nitrocellulose.

Polyethylene glycol 400.

Polyvinyl acetate.

Potassium pentachlorophenate as a slime control agent.  *

Potassium trichlorophenate as a slime control agent.  *

Resins from high and low viscosity polyvinyl alcohol for fatty foods only.

Rubber hydrochloride.

Sodium pentachlorophenate as a slime control agent.  *

Sodium-trichlorophenate as a slime control agent.  *

Stearato-chromic chloride complex.

Titanium dioxide.  *

Urea formaldehyde polymer.

Vinylidine chlorides (polymerized).

 Under the conditions of normal use, these substances would not reasonably be expected to migrate to food, based on available scientific information and data.
