The listed status
FDA’s table, dated May 12, 2026, includes fluorinated high-density polyethylene as a food-contact substance under review of information. It refers to reviewing available data, including comments from an earlier request for information. This is a description of the agency’s review activity.
What the entry does not decide
The row is not a product-specific clearance letter for Inhance, and it is not proof that every food-contact article is unsafe. A status table is a route to the underlying issue, not a replacement for the applicable requirements, test evidence or a separate operative decision.
Why the date matters
The table can change. An article should preserve the version it describes and identify later updates separately. This report uses the dated entry inspected for this edition and does not claim that it captures every subsequent FDA action or every aspect of the company’s regulatory position.
