What is the FCC Forum?
Changes and additions to the FCC are generally first proposed in the FCC Forum, an online service where public comments are invited. The forum, which is free and open to everyone, also includes information about submitting comments and providing input. Comments and feedback from FCC subscribers and other interested parties in industry, academia, and elsewhere are critical to the transparent and scientifically rigorous process that culminates in the final approval by a group of independent and established scientific experts: the Food Ingredients Expert Committee. The FCC Forum is a twice–a–year event: going live June 30 and December 31. Both FCC Forums have 90–day comment periods.
