Limitations/Specifications: The FCS may be reacted with monomers listed in 21 CFR 175.300 (b) (3) (vii) (a, b, c, and d) and polybasic acids and their anhydrides, monobasic acids, polyhydric alcohols, and monohydric alcohols that are subject of an effective FCN for use as components of polyester coating resins. The FCS may be used at a maximum level not to exceed 19.4 percent by weight of the final coating. The FCS may contact all food types under Conditions of Use A through H, as described in Tables 1 and 2. The FCS will not be used in contact with infant formula or human milk.
