The FDA, which is responsible for ensuring the safety of most of
the U.S. food supply, is not required to review substances, such as
spices and preservatives, added to food that are generally
recognised as safe (GRAS) for their intended use. Currently,
companies may determine a substance is GRAS without FDA's approval
or knowledge. However, a few substances previously considered GRAS
have later been banned and concerns have been raised about the
safety of other GRAS substances, including those containing
engineered nanomaterials. This book provides an overview of the
FDA's regulation of GRAS substances, which are exempt from the
premarket approval process for food additives, and discusses the
FDA's proposed rule.
