Food Chemicals Codex

This is an essential resource with broad application in the food industry. The Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) is a compendium of internationally recognized monograph standards and tests for the purity and quality of food ingredients, e.g., preservatives, flavourings, colorants, and nutrients. The FCC is beneficial to the food industry because it provides quality standards used in agreements between suppliers and manufacturers in ongoing supply decisions and purchasing transactions.

In this one extraordinarily valuable volume readers have access to efficient and easy-to-use monograph standards used to authenticate a massive 1,100 food-grade ingredients. It will assist all those working in the food and beverage industry with clear guidelines for ensuring regulatory compliance. It is a resource food and beverage manufactures, suppliers and regulators cannot afford to be without.

This volume will save time and expense in setting protocols and SOP's.

Published since 1966, the FCC was recently acquired by USP from the Institute of Medicine. With the new Seventh Edition, USP is updating the FCC through an open collaborative revision process involving industry, government, and the public.
