The U.S. FDA has established the regulatory designation GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). Any material that is purposefully added to food but is not a food additive, a colour additive, or an approved component is subject to the GRAS regulations. Achieving GRAS accreditation has increased in value as the food industry expands and new ingredients are researched.
Trying to navigate the varying regulatory requirements in the food & beverage, supplement, and ingredient industries can be costly, time-consuming, and often lead to refusals. These hurdles are costing global businesses a huge chunk of their profits by slowing down their timelines as they experience longer approval waiting times. This is because the Sponsor must show that their ingredient is safe when used as intended in order for it to receive GRAS status for an ingredient which requires an extensive safety review.
By successfully completing GRAS evaluations and ingredient safety assessments, you will open up more market prospects.
