2017 marks the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the FDA Modernization Act, an innovative statute that provides the definition of Food Contact Substances and establishes a new administrative procedure for safety review. Through a unique combination of proprietary notification and open disclosure, the Food Contact Notification (FCN) program has allowed the regulated industries to innovate with confidence and provide the general public with a record of packaging innovations. The purpose of this presentation is to provide a cursory overview of select effective FCNs that enable the beverage industry to package quality products for consumers while minimizing impacts to the environment.
