Substances Generally Recognized as Safe; Reopening of the Comment Period

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reopening the comment period for the proposed rule published in the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (the 1997 proposed rule). The 1997 proposed rule would replace the voluntary petition process to affirm the generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status of a substance intended for use in food for humans or animals with a voluntary notification procedure. FDA is reopening the comment period to update comments. The proposed rule would also clarify the criteria for exempting the use of a substance as GRAS.
