Petitions Currently Held in Abeyance

June 2012

The petitions listed below are being held in abeyance by FDA. The abeyance category includes petitions that were filed and were found, after review by the Office of Food Additive Safety (OFAS), to be deficient. OFAS will not actively work on petitions in abeyance. When all the information required to address the deficiency or deficiencies is provided, a petition will be refiled and assigned a new filing date.

This list is current as of June 6, 2012, and, therefore, does not reflect any change in status of the listed petitions and does not show any new petitions requested by the petitioner to be placed in abeyance after that date. This list will be updated approximately every other month.
