USES, RESTRICTIONS & FDA COMPLIANCE

The FDA has approved all the ingredients being used in our edible glitters & edible dusts based on the FDA approved ingredients & usage levels. To learn more about the FDA approved usage levels and the approved ingredients list from the FDA read “Substances Added to Food” at FDA.GOV & “FDA Approved Usage Levels” Article 73.350 

May be safely used as a color additive in amounts up to 1.25% in food and 0.07% in alcohol beverages of this product, by weight, in cereals, confections/frostings, gelatin desserts, hard/soft candies (including lozenges), nutritional supplement tablets/gelatin capsules, chewing gum, distilled spirits (alcohol content 18-23% w/w). The color additive may not be used to color foods for which standards of identity have been issued under section 401 of the act, unless the use of the added color is authorized by such standards (ref 21CFR73.350)

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 (SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1986)

EUROPEAN UNION

Complies with food standards and purity criteria pursuant Commission Regulation (EC) Nos. 1881/2006, 1333/2008, 231/2012

EU Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/63 of 14 January 2022 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171);

ARTICLE 2: Until 7 August 2022, foods produced in accordance with the rules applicable before 7 February 2022 may continue to be placed on the market. After that date, they may remain on the market until their date of minimum durability or ‘use by’ dateclick here

CURRENTLY: In response to the amended EU legislation, the Bakell® Research & Development department has already developed and released a 100% EU compliant Luster Dust (ie, Lustre Dust) line of products that are available on our website. All colors & shades that are available in the US FDA compliant line, are also be available for the EU compliant line. To satisfy the stance the EU has put in place on edible/ consumable ingredients when it comes to Red 3 and Titanium Dioxide (To2), we have developed Luster Dusts that do not contain either “Titanium Dioxide (To2)” and/ or “Red 3 Food” coloring dye – as both ingredients are now on the restricted list in the EU. Our new EU compliant luster dust line satisfies the SAME lustre-sparkle effect our customers have come to love, while only using 100% EU compliant ingredients. 

COMMON QUESTION: Can you make/ manufacture a lustre dust color(s) that satisfies both the FDA and the EU compliance mandates/ standards, or do you have to purchase EU compliant glitters and FDA compliant glitters?

The short answer is no. Our Food Safety Quality department (FSQ) has determined we cannot make ONE GLITTER product that satisfies both EU and FDA compliance regulations. In short, each government agency has contrasting views on ingredient approvals specific to how MICA is made and what constitutes MICA being an edible ingredient.

OTHER INFORMATION: What about products that I had already purchased or have - what do I do with those products that no longer satisfy the EU compliance standards?

Interpreted, this means in the short term, products containing Titanium Dioxide E 171 can continue to be purchased, inventoried and sold throughout the EU market up through August 7th, 2022. After the date of August 7th 2022, products containing Titanium Dioxide, E171 may continue to be sold in the EU market until their date of minimum durability or ‘use by’ date. For reference, our our edible glitter for food, luster dust, highlighter dust and our edible glitter for drink products all have a minimum durability/ shelf life of 5+ years - companies in the EU that purchase our edible glitter, luster dust and highlighter dust products can continue to sell said products over the next 5 years, through 2027.
