The GRAS system was established in 1958 as an exception to the FDA's regulation of food additives.

This allowed certain substances commonly added to foods without causing problems to be considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and excluded from food additive regulation.

The first GRAS list was published in 1959, which included salt, garlic, spices, and so on.

Voluntary GRAS notification was introduced in 1997.

Companies can determine whether a new substance is GRAS themselves or request a safety evaluation from the FDA.

Therefore, many substances are introduced onto the market as GRAS without being evaluated by the FDA (either as GRAS or as a food additive).

This occurred with tara flour, which caused 113 hospitalizations in the USA in 2022.

As we  roll back to being a Republic in America again ALL programs in every US agency are being reviewed, all I can say at this point is that there are massive changes coming and that includes the so-called GRAS..

 

We were just looking at an ingredient that may be on a safe list in the US known as IRON OXIDE - banned in Germany and may be so in EU as well - a  German company by the name of Horbaach uses this as a coloring agent for capsules of Co-Q-10 and while they can not sell it in Germany, they export it to the US market for consumption - and what does this nifty ingredient do?  Clase 4 harm to the Kidney's and Liver.

 

There are many changes coming, many.
