Description

FDA is not required to review substances, such as spices and preservatives, added to food that are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for their intended use. A few substances previously considered GRAS have later been banned; and concerns have been raised about the safety of other GRAS substances, including materials manufactured at a tiny scale to take advantage of novel properties. This report reviewed the extent to which: (1) FDA's oversight of new GRAS determinations helps ensure the safety of these substances; (2) FDA ensures the continued safety of current GRAS substances; and (3) FDA's approach to regulating engineered nano-materials in GRAS substances helps ensure the safety of the food supply.
