This form is intended for use only to ascertain that all components of a food contact substance formulation may be legally
marketed for their intended use.
This form may not be used to request authorization for a new use of a food contact substance under section 409(h) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. New uses of food contact usbstances must be the subject of a notification under
section 409(h) including an FDA Form 3480.
You should include all information necessary to ascertain that each component of the formulation may be legally marketed
for its intended use (technical effect). For example, if the basis for compliance is an effective notification, you should
provide information establishing that you may rely on that notification.
Part I - GENERAL INFORMATION
A notification may not be submitted for a formulation unless all of
the components of the formulation may be legally marketed for their
intended use in contact with food. A notification for a food contact
substance formulation should include all information necessary to
establish that each compound in the formulation may be legally
marketed. For example, additional information necessary to establish
that each component of the formulation may be legally marketed for
the intended use in contact with food should be attached. Any
information referenced in a notification must be submitted to FDA
prior to your notification. If you reference information from a third
party that is located in other FDA files, provide a letter of
authorization for such use, if necessary. For example, authorization is
not necessary to reference publicly available information in FDA’s
files. If third party authorization is required, provide the name of the
authorizing official for the third party and a mailing address.
substance formulation will contact in its intended use. If possible, use

use for the food contact substance formulation that is the subject of
this notification.
Part Vl - LIST OF ATTACHMENTS
Attach additional sheets if there is not enough space to answer a
question fully. Label each continuation sheet with the corresponding
section heading. List these attachments, any test data or other data
and any optional information included in the notification.
