The FDA has proposed a new rule mandating that all substances marketed under the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) exemption must notify the FDA, changing the current voluntary system to a compulsory one with detailed submission requirements, including electronic filing and English translations. This move is part of a broader government initiative to increase transparency and oversight of food ingredients.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to prepare for mandatory FDA GRAS notifications starting soon. This change demands early compliance moves to avoid market entry delays or regulatory pushback in the US food sector.
