Listing of Color Additives Exempt From Certification; Antarctic Krill Meal; Final Rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of Antarctic krill meal, composed of the ground and dried tissue of Euphausia superba, with or without the lipid fraction, for use in the feed of salmonid fish, to enhance the color of their flesh. We are taking this action in response to a color additive petition (CAP) submitted by Aker BioMarine Antarctic AS (Aker BioMarine or petitioner).
