ANSIR E-Mail - Message from FBI Counterterrorism Division, Washington, D.C.
National Threat Warning System--Terrorist Threat Advisory Update; Use of
Cornstarch in Printing Process Prompting False Anthrax Reports.
In recent weeks numerous anthrax reports to law enforcement agencies
across the country have focused on a fine powdery substance found on
magazines and other paper products shipped through the mail. Recipients
should be aware that a common practice in the publishing industry
involves applying a light coating of cornstarch to the cover and pages
of glossy magazines and other printed materials. This process prevents
the pages of these products from adhering to each other during shipping.
The fine white or light brown powder produced during this process,
called printers' spray powder, is not toxic and poses no health risk.
This process is most closely associated with "high-gloss" magazines, but
printers' spray powder may also be used on other printed products. For
example, an officer with the Sacred Heart League {SHL}, a Catholic
nonprofit missionary organization based in Mississippi, has advised the
FBI that his organization routinely send out inspirational booklets to
its members. A recent shipment contained a number of booklets coated
with the cornstarch-based powder. Given the recent media coverage of
anthrax incidents, a number of SHL members became alarmed by the powder
coating and have contacted local law enforcement agencies.
The information above is provided to assist state and local law
enforcement officials should they receive calls of this nature.
This FBI Awareness of National Security Issues and Response (ANSIR)
