Is melamine chemical banned in the US?

Although melamine chemical powder is not banned as an industrial chemical, it is strictly prohibited to knowingly add it to food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a zero-tolerance policy for the adulteration of food with melamine. Its use in materials that come into contact with food (such as plates) is regulated, and these items must demonstrate safe, low levels of migration. While it is legal for manufacturing plastics, resins and fertilisers, its use in food is illegal and actively enforced against.
