Generally Recognised as Safe – GRAS Approval
GRAS is the acronym used in food manufacturing and regulatory circles for the phrase “Generally Recognized as Safe.” It’s an FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) designation for individual chemicals or substances added to food products that experts deem safe under the conditions of its intended use. Or more generally it is a status label identifying ingredients known to be non-hazardous to health and approved for use in foods.
