H. B. Rhodes to W. C. Thurber on the FDA Proposed Rulemaking on Asbestos Particles in Food and Drugs (1973)

Internal Union Carbide letter-memo in which H. B. Rhodes reviewed the FDA's proposed rulemaking on asbestos particles in food and drugs (Fed. Reg., Sept. 28, 1973) for W. C. Thurber. He said the rule did not appear legally to apply to Union Carbide but could shut it out of food-contact paper and plastisol coatings and beer processing, and suggested contacting the AIA. An attached page of comments addressed sections 121.2006(b), 133.6 and 133.8.
