Webinar Details
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a significant change to the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) framework that has governed the regulation of food ingredients for decades. If finalized, the proposed rule would require manufacturers to notify the Food and Drug Administration when using substances in food based on their Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determination. To support a smooth transition, many manufacturers are already reviewing their current ingredient portfolios to ensure they comply with these anticipated regulatory changes.
Join Exponent's food safety and regulatory experts, including former FDA food ingredient program leadership, as they unpack the proposed rule, discuss what it could mean for new and existing substances used in food, and explore strategies to prepare for potential changes. Attendees will gain practical insight into the proposed rule, including specific changes from the existing GRAS rule, considerations when evaluating current ingredient portfolios, and developing strategies to adapt to potential new requirements.
Key Takeaways
- Understand the proposed changes to the GRAS notification process and how they differ from the current framework.
- Explore strategies for prioritization of ingredients currently marketed based on an independent GRAS conclusion and assessing eligibility for a potential streamlined submission pathway.
- Gain practical guidance for compiling or updating existing GRAS documentation.
- Discuss additional considerations to help prepare for potential changes.
