[Docket No. 99F-2533]

Food Additives Permitted for Direct Addition to Food for Human Consumption; Change in Specifications for Gum or Wood Rosin Derivatives in Chewing Gum Base; Correction

AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of July 23, 2001 (66 FR 38152). The document amended the food additive regulations in § 172.615 (21 CFR 172.615) to provide for their safe use as plasticizing materials (softeners) in chewing gum base. A word in the specification for glycerol ester of gum rosin was inadvertently misspelled. This document corrects that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

July 23, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the FR Doc. 01-18221, appearing in the Federal Register of Monday, July 23, 2001, the following correction is made:

§ 172.615 [Corrected]

On page 38153, in § 172.615 Chewing gum base , in paragraph (a), in the table entitled "Plasticizing Materials (Softeners)" in the entry for "Glycerol ester of gum rosin," the word "striping" is corrected to read "stripping."
