What
is GRAS?
"GRAS" is an acronym for the phrase
Generally Recognized As Safe. Any substance that is intentionally added to food
is a food additive, that is subject to premarket review and approval by FDA,
unless the substance is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as
having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended
use, or unless the use of the substance is otherwise excluded from the
definition of a food additive. Want
