The food additive salts of furcelleran may be safely used in food in
accordance with the following prescribed conditions:
(a) The food additive consists of furcelleran, meeting the
provisions of Sec. 172.655, modified by increasing the concentration of
one of the naturally occurring salts (ammonium, calcium, potassium, or
sodium) of furcelleran to the level that it is the dominant salt in the
additive.
(b) The food additive is used or intended for use in the amount
necessary for an emulsifier, stabilizer, or thickener in foods, except
for those standardized foods that do not provide for such use.
(c) To assure safe use of the additive, the label and labeling of
the additive shall bear the name of the salt of furcelleran that
dominates the mixture by reason of the modification, e.g., ``sodium
furcelleran'', ``potassium furcelleran'', etc.
