FDA held the public meeting on

scientific data and information on topics
related to cosmetic products with talc as

I. Background
We opened a public docket and held
a public meeting on February 4, 2020,
to discuss and obtain scientific data and
information on topics related to
cosmetic products with talc as an
ingredient, specifically, testing
methodologies, terminology, and criteria
that could be applied to characterize
and measure asbestos and other
potentially harmful EMPs that may be
present as contaminants in such
products. The meeting included
presentations by members of an
interagency working group (IWGACP).
As part of the meeting materials, FDA
made available an Executive Summary
titled ‘‘Preliminary Recommendations
on Testing Methods for Asbestos in Talc
and Consumer Products Containing
Talc’’ by the IWGACP. Neither the
Executive Summary nor any of the
presentations at the public meeting by
members of the IWGACP represent
proposed or preliminary
recommendations or policies of FDA or
any other Federal Agency.
Recently, we have been made aware
of concerns that some external parties
may consider the Executive Summary to
be FDA recommendations. As a result,
we are announcing the availability of a
PO 00000

statement in the public docket to
address information provided in
connection with the public meeting. We
have also added corresponding content
on FDA’s web page for cosmetics and
talc (https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/
cosmetic-ingredients/talc).
These updates are intended to clarify
that the Executive Summary and related
presentations at the public meeting were
meant solely to solicit scientific
feedback on the issues raised and
should not be used for any other
purpose. FDA and members of the
IWGACP continue to evaluate the
scientific literature and public feedback
to the docket. FDA does not have any
recommendations at this time. Should
FDA decide to develop
recommendations with respect to
standards or testing methods for
asbestos in talc, as a result of the
information it received as part of the
public meeting and comments to the
public docket or otherwise, it would
issue draft guidance for public
comment. Likewise, FDA would
propose any related regulations through
a public notice and comment process.
