WHAT ABOUT THE FCC?
The FCC or the Food Chemicals Codex is an internationally
recognized compendium of monographs covering food
ingredients. It contains specifications for many direct food
additives, such as glycerin. The Institute of Medicine of the
National Academy of Sciences developed and maintains the
FCC. The FDA also supports this compendium. The
specifications for food grade glycerin given in the FCC are
generally comparable to those given in the USP.
