(US, abbreviation, acronym, alt-of)Acronym of generally recognized as safe, a designation by the FDA that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by food industry experts.
“Tara flour is a recent example, but the misuse of the GRAS standard — and the delay in FDA response — has been occurring for decades, critics say.”
“Under GRAS, companies are expected, but not required, to notify the F.D.A. when they introduce a new chemical that experts they’ve hired deemed OK to use. As a result, the food industry is often vetting the safety of the ingredients in our food, not federal regulators.”
