    NFI has heard that canthaxanthin is under debate by Codex as to its
    acceptable use as a food additive. (At issue is its low Acceptable
    Daily Intake.) Can anyone comment briefly on its use in the seafood
    industry? Is it an important additive in the U.S.? Would the industry
    be negatively impacted if Codex were to disapprove canthaxanthin's use?
    Thanks.
